Depression in Lumber
A USTI.N CAUY, of tho Foreat Sorv-
ico, who for tUo past few months
bag been dlrcctlns tho feathering ot
facts In Oregon and Washington that
!,0U,J, .""'at In answering tbo ques
,.!! hat ,s tu matter with tht
lumber Industry?" has" returned to
Washington to confer with others
wno are working along similar lines
nIl5cr lumbering regions of tho
united States. Ho is enthusiastic
?Tfi" tao, hoarty co-oporation that is
wing given by tho lumbermen of
M region.
niJ.1i 1 ast" survoy of the study
?.JLct castor Cecil said:
ine Secretary of Agriculture and
tho Secrotary of Comracrco have un
dertaken jointly a constructive study
of existing conditions in tho lumber
industry, the object being to ascer
tain the essential facts underbills tho
production and marketing of forest
products In tho United States and to
set theso facts lioforo tho public with
conviction and authority.
"If any public measures are Indi
cated as necessary and advisable to
better existing conditions it would
seem that tholr advocacy would fol
low as a logical result of tho Investi
gation. Tho bringing of theso fncts
togothor by a disinterested ngent
cannot bo otherwise. than holpful to
tho Industry, becauso tho presenta
tion of the whole field by an Impartial
public agency should result, to say
tho least, In a better relationship
than now exists between tho industry
and tho public. While It is not tho
function ot tho Federal Government
to solvo the special problems of any
individual business, nevertheless,
many factors connected with tho lum
ber industry are ot wide or universal
application and in many cubps hnvo
already been studied cavofull In a
number of tho bureaus.
.."J wlGh to point out particularly
that this Inquiry on tho part of tho
Government Is not undertaken with
any Inquisitorial attitude, but In a
constructive spirit, to bring forward
for tho benefit of tho public and of
the industry Just what the prcsout
conditions aro and what aro tho
causcB ot the depression,
"There is no use denlng the fact
that tho lumber industry is depressed,
or that It Is harmful to the public to
have a great Industry like this de
pressed. You, of tho Pacific North
west, whoro tho nrosnerlty of tho
wholo region dopends to a great ex
tent upon tno prosponty 01 mo mm
bor Industry, can readily understand
this.
"Heforo thoro can bo any perma
nent Improvement a romedy must bo
found. I am frank to say I do not
know what It will be. Somo men
may come forward and say one thing
is a cure-all, and others may suggest
other things. Tho war has hurt tho
lumbor business, just as it has hint
other Hues of Industry, but It must
bo remombored that tho lumber In
dustry was doprpssed before tho war.
While tho Forest Sorvlco Is following
up a number of Ideas, I do not think
that any ono can Say what will bo an
otfoctlvo romedy until all tho facts
uro obtained.
