Throughout the war years retail yards, whose em- ployees depended upon the sale of lumber, received very little. They were forced to either close down or to turn to other lines of endeavour. Now that the war is over, their supply is still practically nil. They have done something about it. The fact that most of the lumber sold in B.C, is sold at a loss does not encourage mills to sell the newt 6 grade in the 85 per cent quota the law asks that they sell here.

From a pub- lisher’s viewpoint my ideas may be hay wire, but I enjoy the di- vergent views expressed by Mr. I. Thornley on the one hand, and Mr. J. A. McDonald on the other. A residence in B.

The small fry hold- ing these various doctrines are the same.
