J. Smith while discussing his recent tour of Canada and the United States with a Manawatu Standard representative. “This timber is particularly adapted for framing in building construction, and if return freights from New Zealand could be guaranteed of wool for instance, it could be landed here at a saleable price. By lifting the dutv on this imported timber, the Government would assist materially in conserving our own timber for its own special purposes. Under these conditions Oregon pine could be landed here at 30 dollars a thousand feet.’’
