WORLD MARKETS
OPEN TO LUMBER
Members of Federal Trade
Commission Give Encour-
agement to Producers.
SOUTH AMERICA FIELD BIG
Extension of Trade to Foreign Conn
tries Possible Before War la Over.
Southern Europe Expected to
- Make Heavy Demands.
As soon as the war Is trrer and ma.y
before Northwestern lumber manu
facturers will have a tremendous op
portunlty of extending: their markets
Into Europe and South America.
This firm conviction was expressed
to local lumbermen here yesterday by
the members of the Federal lumber
trade commission who passed the day
In Portland. The commissioners are
touring- the principal lumber-producing
sections of the country prellmlnary to
departure for Europe, where they ex
pect to remain for a year and & half,
studying both producing conditions and
consuming1 conditions.
The commissioners arrived early In
the morning from Bend, where they
had passed the previous day in visit
ing the big pine mills. They visited
some of the principal mills on the river,
attended a luncheon by lumbermen at
the Chamber of Commerce at noon,
fpoke before the "West Coast Lumber
Association in convention at the Ben
son, tonred the Columbia River High
Way as guests of O. M. Clark, had din
ner at a highway inn, returned to the
city and departed last night for Grays
Harbor and other manufacturing dis
tricts in the state of Washington.
Commissioners Xoung Men.
The local lumber people were pleased
to see that all the commissioners are
young men full of pep, enthusiasm,
vision and optimism. A. H. Oxholm,
the Pacific Coast member. Is from San
Francisco, but is thoroughly familiar
with the fir and spruce-producing con
ditions of the Northwest, having worked
for eight months as a mlllhand in sev
eral Oregon and Washington plants to
jerain experience. Nelson C. Brown Is
chairman of the New York State Forest
Products Association, and formerly was
with the Federal Forestry Service; John
R. Walker has had large experience as
a lumber manufacturer in the South,
and Roger K. Simmons, of Maryland,
formerly Was employed by the Federal
Government as a trade Investigator In
South America.
Mr. Simmons declared that the ex
porters of America "have much to be
ashamed of," Judging by the shipments
that he saw in South America, but that
thaone notable exception to this rule
Is the Douglas fir Industry of the
Northwest. The same efficiency and
the same intelligence that has been ap
plied In the South American business
should aid materially, he said. In reach
ing into the markets of Europe.
8011th America Needs Education.
People of South America need only
to be educated in the use of lumber.
he asserted, and they will become steady
customers. In this connection he laud
ed the enterprise of the Xouglas fir
producers in organizing the exporta
tion and exploitation company. If the
word "exploitation" means advertising
and education, . he . insisted that it
should be emphasized.
Sir. Oxholm, who Is a native of Nor
way, Is thoroughly familiar with the
lumber situation of Northern Europe.
His particular European mission will
be to investigate conditions In those
countries. Ever since coming to Amer
ica he has given close attention to the
export possibilities of the lumber in
dustry. "This," he declared, "Is my chance
to repay the Pacifio Coast lumbermen
lor the opportunity that they have
given me to study their problems. They
permitted me to enter their mills and
learn the business, and now I believe I
can extend their business."
Mr. Brown will visit Southern Europe
and the northern coast of Africa. He
explained that this is a virgin field for
American lumber, and that it probably
will make tremendous demands upon
this country as soon as the war Is over.
Mr. Walker will visit England, France
and Belgium, and will give close at
tention to the plans being made by the
European competitors of the American
producers to supply the belligerent
countries after the close of the war.

In objection to the recent arrest of

fore the West Coast Lumber Association.
It is no longer a problem of lack of
business, car shortage or declining
prices, but of taking care of the busi
ness already at hand.
The monthly meeting of the West
Coast manufacturers at the Benson Ho
tel yesterday dealt largely with this
question.' The Government has placed
an order for approximately 170,000,000
feet with the association mills, but the
business has not been apportioned
among them. This lumber is to be
used in the wooden ships that the Gov
ernment is to have built on the Pa
cific Coast.
Important Information Lacking.
But the millmen don't know whether
they are to accept orders from indi
vidual shipyards on Government ac
count or wait for the lumber committee
of the National Defense Council to
make the distributions.
Lloyd J. Wentworth, of the Portland
Lumber Company, who Is the repre
sentative of the Government Fleet Cor
poration in Oregon, protested yester
day that the shipyards don't know
whether to place their orders wltn tne
mills direct or have them placed by the
committee.
Thorpe Babcock. formerly secretary
of the association and now in the
manufacturing business at Everett, re
ported that some shipbuilders refuse
to pay more than 32.60, while the con
tract price with the Government is $35.
""viewed as a whole, the distributing
system Is somewhat "balled up," but
Immediate efforts will be made to have
it untangled.
R H. Brown, assistant secretary, re
ported that the order for 6,000,000 feet
for the Army cantonments at Des
Moines, la., are going forward rapidly.
The next installment for the same can
tonment calls for 16.000,000 feet.
Spruce Wanted for Airships.
Recent advices from Secretary Allen,
of the association, who Is in Wash
ington, indicate that the Government
soon will let contracts for 120.000,000
feet of spruce for airship construction.
A commission of experts is expected
on the Coast soon to examine avail
able lumber for this purpose.
A. C. Dixon, of the Booth-Kelly mill
at Eugene, reported on the hearing
before the Interstate Commerce Com'
mission at Washington on the 15 per
cent rate case. He said that shippers
east of the Mississippi and north of
the Ohio rivers generally favored the
advance, but that those In the South
and West were opposed to it. The far
ther West the stronger the protest, he
declared.
Following Mr. Dixon's recital the
meeting unanimously passed a resolu
tion instructing the rate committee to
start Injunction proceedings to re
strain the effectiveness of the advance
In ease the commission granted it, but
a few hours later came the news from
Washington that the advance had been
suspended.
Beevetnry Allen Defnc Good Wsrk,
The association also passed a resolu
tion -thanking Mr, Dixon for his able
efforts in presenting the opposition of
the lumber Industry before the Com
mission. Both Mr. Dixon and Mr. Wentworth
