CANADIAN BUTTER DUTY
EFFECT OF LUMBER POSITION. 45y Telegraph—Press Association Hahnilton, May 7. 1 “There can be little doubt that the at titude adopted, by Canadian lumbermen has contributed in no small measure to the passing of the butter tariff now in force against New Zealand,” remarked Mr. McDonald, head of the Canadian lumber delegation, during a visit to Hamilton. The New Zealand dairy companies,, he said, were using Scandinavian timber for butter boxes and all attempts to induce the factories to use Canadian wood had failed and, as the result, lumbermen felt they would be justified in not opposing the increase. Had some agreement been reached as the result of the delegation’s visit to New' Zealand the position might conceivably have been very different.
