Major Burde Attacks Lumber Operators in Legislature
In a Vancouver Island debate, Alberni MLA Major Burde blasted lumber firms and Yankee operators for forest devastation. He warned of two thirds of Vancouver Island’s timber at risk, with 40 billion feet in his district and funds flowing mostly to wages, many to Orientals, amid calls to curb exports and boost home production. He cited Spokane’s Mr. Hummingbird and criticized government action as slow and ineffective.
