OF PA YMENT, APOLIO PIANOS TALKING MACHINU San Jose, Los , Angeles, ' Cr T ROGER E. SI3IMOXD TELLS OF COXDITIOXS OVERSEAS. United States and Canada Facing Task of Reconstructing War Devastated Countries. s CHICAGO, April 15. Roger E. Sim mons, who was sent to Russia in 1917 as a member of a United States gov ernment commission to study the lum ber situation in the war-devastated countries and who Was taken prisoner by the bolsheviki government and at one time sentenced to be shot, told the legislative commission investigat ing high prices of building material that the world was facing a lumber famine. Prices of lumber, he said, are certain to rise in the next few years be cause of the unprecedented demand which would come from the reconstruc tion of the war-stricken regions of Europe. The majority portion of this lumber, he said, would have to be sup plied by the United States and Canada. Canada already has received an or der from the British government for 1.000.000,000 feet of lumber, while this country has received orders for 1,000. 000 feet of oak by England and 12 shiploads of lumber for Italy. Mr. Simmons, who spent 18 months abroad studying the subject, said Rus sia, which before the war exported 52 per cent of the world's lumber supply. would not be in a position to cut lum ber until five years after the govern ment had been stabilized and order restored. Replying to questions by members of the commission regarding the future of bolshevism in Russia, Mr Simmons said : "Bolshevism is like a scourge, which must run its course. I believe that eventually it wil fail because of its brutal injustice and immorality. It is the greatest menace to real democracy that the world has ever seen." PREMIER AGAINST SECRECY M.
