Senate Resolution passed by the United states Senate asking for i appointment a commis Siori to negotiate with. Canada to have of port embargo on Canadian pulpwood removed indicates the for the shortage of printing paper on the other Side of the Andary line. It is a different cause from that which is response for the High Price of paper in Canada. In Canada the supplies pulpwood Are still considerable and the Price of paper Canadian Consumers because of the Competition of Tho United states paper buyers who Are buying Canadian paper a dented quantities because there is Only left in the United states a very meagre Supply of pulp Timber out of which to Supply the Home Market. In Plain words the . Pulpwood is nearly All f Ike paper Mills in the states Are suspending operations from lick of material. The remaining supplies of pulpwood on the rth american continent Are in Canada and the Hope behind the the Resolution is that Canada will consent to the exportation of Canadian logs to . Mills to take Trye place of . Timber which no longer exists. Embargoes on the exportation of Canadian logs were imposed b some of the Eastern provinces a Good Many years ago in the in a ests of Canadian business and it is to be in the in t ests of the forests themselves. The enactments made allowed jesses of Canadian Timber lands to be acquired by United state Mizens they Only ensured that Canadian Timber in a rough to manufactured condition would not be shipped out of the Dominion. Change has been made in the terms of the leases and United states companies who hold Canadian pulpwood limits Are As much at Liberty to Cut the Trees manufacture the paper and ship it to the states As Are the Canadian companies engaged in the production of the Sarae article. Behind the Resolution of the Senate however is the desire to n Aid to the . Paper manufacturers.

Paper making Industry which would be put on its feet again by the unrestricted importation of Canadian logs. From any Side they look at it it seems a very desirable thing to our Southern friends that Canada should adopt a different attitude towards the pulpwood situation and Liff the bars of the embargo in their favor. They evidently feel however that it is very unlikely that Canada will do anything of the kind and for reasons too which must be quite Well understood in the states and approved there by All intelligent persons. To enforce the desires embodied in. The Senate Resolution a number of those behind it Are trying to a Little More weight by urging that if Canada will not lift the embargo of pulp stood retaliatory action should be taken against Canada and exports of Cotton and Coal into the Dominion from the states should be stopped. This threat shows die desperate situation in the . Pulpwood business and is about the Best argument for the retention of the embargo that could have appeared. The . Pulp resources Are exhausted and the Canadian re sources Are very far indeed from being inexhaustible. Were Canada to permit the unhampered exportation of logs from can Adian forests to the states Canada s pulp resources would fade completely out of sight in a couple of decades. The United states senators who Are loudest in. Demanding the withdrawal of the embargo know this but it is nothing to them. Their supplies Are All gone and they Are quite prepared anxious indeed to help Cut Down Canada s stocks of Spruce while there is a stick left standing. Forest conservation in Canada is a trifling thing to them compared with keeping the . Paper Mills running for a few More years and turning comfortable profits for their owners while they do so. It is needless draw attention to the blatant effrontery of senator Underwood and the interests he represents. Canadians Realise rather acutely that they Are already suffering from the . Demands on the available supplies of paper manufactured in the Dominion. The Price of paper is being set by the . Market and it is a Price which the canadians regard and regard rightly As a hardship.
