BK. .KB Lumber Bill In Hands Of Johnson WASHINGTON (UP!' - The House today passed and sent to President Johnson a bill that would require country-of -origin markings on lumber imported into the United States. Canada has said it hopes Johmon will veto the bill. The House gave the compro mise measure final congression al approval by voice vote and without debate. The Senate had approved the bill Monday. A section of the bill would re quire all sawed lumber import ed into the United .Stales to be marked as a country of origin. Purpose was to enable enforce ment of "Buy American" prac tices against Canada's $280 mil lion a year softwood lumber sales to the United States, as well as to lay the groundwork for expanding the "Buy Ameri can" restrictions. The provision would not by it self impose any quota or tariff action against Canadian lumber. But Canada in a formal note to the United States has expressed its "deep concern" and indi cated that it would consider the requirement a violation of Ca-narlian-U.S. trade agreements. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower vetoed a similar bill ii;?I960, and the State, Com merce and Treasury depart ments are on record as opposing the present measure.

To be able to recommend the best product for every need, it it part of my training to know the stand ards of quality and measures that have been established by science and experience. When! order goods my selection is based on the known merits of these widely recognised standards. "Then I advertise to give people the news of my store. Because I knoic that nearly everybody reads a newspaper I use newspaper advertising regularly. When people pay for newspapers they read them carefully for all of the news that is interesting to them. When my ads are newsy and contain useful information I know that people will read them because they are news." Another fact that merchants like about news paper advertising is that they can buy it on the basis of known values that are just as definite as the measures of weight and quality that apply to merchandise which they handle. Businessmen cannot afford to speculate with advertising. When they buy newspaper space they can make their investments on the strength of circulation facts and figures that are verified. It is good business practice to buy advertising by such methods just as it is good business to buv and sell merchandise on the basis of known standards.
