Editorial notes on lumber industry costs and policies
A correspondent argues that Canadian sawmill and railway project costs are higher due to protected Canadian machinery and high-protection tariffs. Labor costs in British Columbia exceed those in western U.S. states, while Oriental labor offers little efficiency. He opposes rough lumber imports and urges prairie provinces to consider interprovincial interests, noting BC Alberta trade ties and the impact of U S lumber dumping on prices and home industry.
