TIMBER PRODUCTION
Unless more men were got into the bush and' into the mills there would be no increased production of timber, said the Commissioner of State Forests (Mr. Barclay) in^the House of Representatives last night during discussion of the -State Forest Account. Men had been taken out of the bush for war service, said Mr. Barclay. The bushmen of New Zealand made the best soldiers in the world.
Mr. Barclay said that he was setting up an advisory committee to advise the Commissioner of State Forests and the Commissioner of Works on timber production and consumption. The committee would -consist of two employees' representatives, one representative of the sawmillers. one representative of the timber merchants, one representative of the Commissioner of Works, and one representative of the State Forest Service, but all the committees and changes of Ministers would not produce timber unless the men were got into the bush.
