Canada Seeks Sitka Spruce for Airplane Timber
Mr. Gynson-Hicks, chairman of the British parliamentary air committee, says England plans a vast airship program. The Imperial Munitions Board notes Canada has a near complete timber program for airplanes, with Sitka spruce as the best timber, largely found on the Pacific coast. Oregon and Washington supply much timber, while labor limits in British Columbia hinder expansion. England and allies require massive lumber to meet wartime needs, and Joynson-Hicks asserts thousands more workers are needed to sustain production.
