SUGAR lumber. The lumber operators are said to be meeting the situation with restraint and will be able to prevent any run-away market which might result from undue advantage being taken by speculative buyers of repeated official predictions that about 460,000 non-farm residence units will be built in the United States this year.

"Higher prices for lumber generally," said Dr Compton, "are, I think, inevitable, at least if costs increase, and perhaps they are desirable in some cases, but certainly not to the extent of impeding the restoration of large volume.: consumption of lumber and timber products. Price advances brought about artificially and founded on nothing more substantial than propaganda of 'lumber famine' will do much more harm than good.

"Last week's wire reports from the regional associations on current lumber production and lumber movement show current operations of the reporting mills less than 5A7o of the weekly average for the year l9D, which in turn was only 75/o of their so-called 'capacity' at that time. This includes mills operating and other mills ready and wanting to operate but prevented by strikes or temporarily by weather. In the face of these facts any talk about a general 'lumber famine' as distinguished from the obvious temporary shortages of particular items, grades and species, is not warranted."
