NOT FLOURISHING
SAWMILLING INDUSTRY Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. j “A branch of forestry that has not j been in a flourishing state during the [ year is the sawmiliing industry, and ! hero we have an instance of how high j wages, high transport costs and ! handling charges are slowly but surely , destroying what should be a most : prosperous and healthy means of live- I lihood for many people.” These re- j marks were made by the president, ' Mr. James Deans, at the opening of the New Zealand Forestry League > conference. “It is a very absurd position that ! a young country like New Zealand j cannot produce its timber at a price ; that can compete with timber imported ' from other countries, some of them on the other side of the globe,” Mr. Deans continued. “This question is . one that is very serious from the in- j dustry’s point of view, but it may be* j of ultimate benefit to the country, i because it will preserve our timber, ! and each year should enable us to j learn more about what can be done with our indigenous forests.”
