CANADIAN LUMBER TRADE

CANADIAN EXPORTERS DIS-

SATISFIED

San Frs"e:'~o return laden with coal. Consequent]/ the trade is profitable. The establishment of a Canadian-Aus-tralian freighter service would enable the British Columbian lumbermen to expand trade enormously, for New Zealand importers recognised the superiority of the Canadian product. Lack of accommodation for lumber .aboard the passenger lines is also complained of. ■ ■ .■••
