Continued Heavy Demands for War
Mean no Increased Lumber Rations
For Civilians During Current Year
A poll of informed sources reveals little optimism that larger ra
tions of lumber for civilians can be expected in the near future.
Opinion is unanimous that the lumber Industry met all its mili
tary obligations on the nail during 1944, despite a production decline
of possiblly 10 or 12 per cent from the previous year. The civilian
took the rap to make up that de
ficit. All are confident that mill
tary requirements will be met
during 1945, unless depletion of
manpower and progressive de
terioration of equipment results
in more serious loss of production
than now appears likely.
No decrease in the volume re
quisitioned by the government is
anticipated while the war contin
ues in both theatres, and the var
ious items will be ordered in ap
proximately the same propor
tions as during the last half of
'44. The emphasis during 1944
was on boards, due to the shift
from construction to packaging.
More boards are being produced
than ever before In the history of
the Industry and still more are
being demanded.
War Needs Not Lessened
In total, apnroximately 70 to 80
tier cent of all lumber production
during 1944 went directly or in
directly Into the war, and that
proportion is seen continuing
through '45 unless there is a
sharp letup In the actual fight
ing. The biggest single, item in
the estimated figures of lumber
consumption in 1944 is packaging
(boxing, crating, and dunnage)
approximately 45 per cent. Civil
ian construction (which may or
may not be an indirect war use)
accounts for about 30 per cent;
military uses and factory prod
ucts (probably mostly military)
make up the 25 per cent balance.
The military services have
stockpiles of lumber at various
points, but no excess. Both army
and navy have been working to
reduce surpluses and it is con
sidered unlikely that any of
these stocks are large enough to
cause termination of government
orders.
No relaxation of lumber con
trol regulations is anticipated, if
the war continues through 1945.
although they might be eased
gradually if the European phase
should end during the year.
The market situation which
brought about War Production
Board Order L.335 in August con
tinues, and it is generally felt
that L-335 is being intelligently
administered and Is accomplish
ing its purpose. The individuals
polled could suggest no altera
tions or adjustments In the cur
rent regulations that might result
in greater sunplics reaching the
domestic market.
Europe to Get Little
No large shipments of lumber
to Europe for rehabilitation fol
lowing the defeat of Germany
are expected. This Is largely a
problem of shipping space which
will be urgently needed in the Pa
cific. Also. Europe will be able
to re-establish Its old lumber
sources Sweden, Finland, and
Russia quickly, and Britain will
draw on Canada.
No reconversion difficulties are
anticipated at war's end, and it
Is expected that the industry will
be prepared for the boom home
building market with adequate
supplies of dry lumber of good
quality before the builders are
ready to absorb It. It i pointed
out that an estimated five-billion-dollar
home' repair Job is ready
to fill the time lapse between the
end of the war and the return to
tha market, of .other Jiqme build
ing essentials such as plumbing.
Dairy farmers alone 'can use' a
large volume of lumber imme
diately that it is available to
them.
