"The cutting of the annual growth under th"- 

 strict and scientific lumbering regulations of 

 Quebec, would promote forest growth and im- 

 prove, rather than impair, the forest wealth of 

 the province. 



Canada Profits by Embargo. 



"Canada sells nearly nine-tenths of her pro- 

 duct in this market and her sales increased 

 2,600 F3er cent from 1910 to 1918. 



"In 1918 the production of newsprint in the 

 United States was less than in 1910. 



"Canadian manufacturers, virtually subsidized 

 in respect to timber reserves and water powers, 

 and, with lower overhead charges than their 

 competitors in this country, have based their 

 selling price on the higher manufacturing costs 

 in the United States and have disanoointed the 

 expectations of those American publishers who 

 believed that 'free Canadian paper' and 'cheap 

 newsprint' were synonymous. 



"In Canada, new developments increased 



production from 161,000 tons in 1910, to 

 738,000 tons in 1918. 



"In this case the publishers are the increased 

 customers and their influence, unitedly and ener- 

 getically exercised, will be sufficient to move 

 Congress to negotiate with Canada, and particu- 

 larly the Provincial Government of Quebec, the 

 restoration of the property rights in the pulp- 

 wood on the Crown land limits acquired by 

 United States interests prior to 1910. 



U. S. Mills Fear Consequences. 



"Unless these rights be restored in full, or, in 

 modified form, as indicated by the alternative, 

 prices are bound to attain a higher level as 

 pulpwood becomes more scarce and its cost ad- 

 vances to United States manufacturers, for the 

 price of Canadian paper will always follow that 

 created by the manufacturing costs in this coun- 

 try, no matter how much lower the costs in 

 Canada may be.
