Emory R. Johnson, government Special commissioner on Panama traffic, argues the canal opening will boost Pacific trade to the South lumber market. Hardwoods from the South will face little Pacific Northwest softwood competition, with yellow pine superior to fir and spruce for West Coast and South America markets. A lively Atlantic-Pacific competition may form. profitable charter rates from Puget Sound to the North Atlantic lie near six dollars per thousand feet. Johnson believes the South will retain most eastern lumber trade, with West Coast gains compensating any losses.
