Jopon Plywood Monufocturers Assn. to Stort Cenfrql Purchqsing System

San Francisco-The Imported Hardwood Plywood Assn. here has received official word from the Japan Plywood Manufacturers' Assn. that a central purchasing organization will be established July l. The move was decided at a directors meeting of the JPMA, April 21, and a general

john Osgood

meeting of the association was scheduled for May 19 to work out details of the proposal. It was learned from a reliable source that, under the plan, JPMA has become a corporate association, with capital stock for the proposed "purchasing."

Under the proposed plan, which was to be decided at the general IVIay meeting, a "fair price" would be established by JPMA for Lauan doorskins destined for sale by Japanese exporters to the U. S. and for certain stock panels destined for other areas. If exporters should offer a price below the "fair price" set by JPMA, then the manufacturer would ask the JPMA to take over his lauan skins on consignment for subsequent resa.le to an exporter, and JPMA would then lend the manufacturer 70/. ol the value of the consignment skins.

It is further reported that 146 plywood manufacturers affiliated with the Japan Plywood Industry Assn. will begin jointly marketing plywood for export July 1 in order to prevent further price deterioration. Shutaro Matsuura, board chairman of the association, said in an interview with The Japan Times that the association wants to restore prices to last October's levels. He disclosed that plywood prices hacl dropped an average of 35/o since last Autumn, making it extremely difificult {or manufacturers to operate on a payir.rg basis. Last year Japan exported about 800 millior.r sc1. ft. of plywood valued at $76,400,000, the third largest amount recorded for a single export item.

Accorcling to the new joint marketing plan, the association was to be reorganized into an investment guild, May 19, and sale of plywood to exporters would be carried out tl-rrough the guild at set rates. This guild would make loans to plywood makers against their products in stock and would keeo the stock in 'ivarehouses until the market improves, Mitsuura said.
