whenever a bid is put up a statement ohould "be available 

 showing tfaa* "^'i Government T s policy is - not only what t 

 would permit, "but I/hat 1 11037- would ror-urro. In other words 

 I thinii it would be a good idea for the Department to set- 

 up so rue of the at raw men their critics sot up, and then 

 Lnoclc them dov/n themselves* 



In the sample marlci'ig at which I was present, a 

 discussion arose as to whe-hsr a certain cluinp of trees 

 were to be talron or left. One of the party said he didn T t 

 t hi nli it wao necessary as there was a very good second 

 growth; another - the Assistant Porostor I thinlr - said 

 "You want to remember that when they got through logging 

 this second growuh won r t look much as it does now." I 

 third it should be made plain to tho lumbermen that the 

 G-ovornmont e:.:pocts a certain amount of damage done. The 

 lumberman should bo made to understand that the Government 

 understands ".'hat a loin operation is, and that all they 

 will demand I: that the standing trees be left uninjured, 

 and that a roasonable amount of care will be e: excised, and 

 that that amount of earn will bo considered b" the Govern- 

 ment officials in weighing; the feasibility of losing at a 

 practical price. Ma!-;e it clear to the lumbermen that the 

 Officials are not G' oin C<' " to indulge in any fanciful idea siich 

 as can^inc: t]ie logs out of the woods wrapped up in cotton.
