THE LUMBER INDUSTRY
SOVIET EXPORTS TO BRITAIN CONCERN IN CANADA. VANCOUVER, January 14. (Received Jan. 15, at 5.5 p.m.) The Premier (Mr S. F, Tolmie) requested Mr Bennett to instruct the High Commissioner in London to notify the British Government that acquiescence in the English lumber importers’ petition that the importation of Soviet lumber be not interfered with through tariffs or preferences would be a blow to Canada and would likely injure the Imperial Conference. The Premier of Quebec (Mr L. A. Tascherean) wired to Mr Bennett to the same effect. Leading merchants, claiming that Vancouver was the first city in the Empire to take a practical move in Empire trade, are using the . trade board organisation to launch a campaign for greater exchange of British goods.
