~, ~ THE OSHAWA DAILY. TIMES, THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1930 HINISTER TO CALL CONFERENCE ON FOREST SITUATION Hon. Charles S. Stewart Makes Important An- nouncement Concerning Great Canadian Industry Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 3i--A conier- ence will be éntled by Han. Charles Stewart, minister of the fi interior, of representatives of the provinces of the Dominion to consider protection against forest fires. Mr. Stewart ind a statement issued today said that the fight against fires in 1929, when the fire hazard was exceedingly high and the number of fires unprecedent- ed, had been so successful as to war- rant the belief that "efforts can be made adequate to cope with forest fires under all conditions provided the necessary public support is assured. An increase of 15 per cent. in newspaper production last year as compared with 1929 is estimated the statement which reviews the en- tire forestry situation. The lumber trade was slightly higher due to in- ereased domestic demand. The state- ment follow "the . fundamental soundness of Canada's business pros- perity has been reflected in the op- erations of her forest industries dur- ing the year just passed. Increased volunic of trade has more than off- set the lower prices which have pre- vailed for forest products, and there is every reason for believing that the Hains made will augmented ng the coming year. "The extremely serious fire season experienced in all provnces except- 'ing Quevec has focussed public at- tention on the question timber be dur- | Forest Service is supplies.

Statistics are available only for the first nine months of the year | but these show that the construction | contracts awarded comprised 'an i crease of $62,000,000 over period in 1928; buildi pe vided an increase of $20,000,000. indications are that the product of lumber was slightly increased, a though there has perhaps slight decrease in exports. "The pulp and r cessfully weathe critical The drastic reduction in the of newsprint which for a time threat ened. the prosperity of the industry was counteractéd by courageous C€o- operation, and no branch' of the in- dustry was seriously affected, in fact' the newsprint mills were operated at about 85 per cent. capacity as pared with 82 per cent in 1928, and 1t is cxpected that the total produc tion will show an increase of over 15 per cent. as compared with the previous year. Employment has been maintained in the woods and in the mills with little, if any, reduction in wages. "There has been a considerable de- crease in the exportagion of pulp- wood, although punlpwood exports still continue a serious drain. on pulp- wood supplies, There has also been forest which | effc re per- | | | | I'h been year price industry | est that called. | undertaking a -{ lem a slight decrease in the amount oi pulp exported, but this has been fuc | outweighed by the crease of over 15 per cent. in the exports ot news- print which comprises the bulk oi our exports of paper. In spite of the reduction in price, the exports c©1 pulp and paper show an increase oi some six or seven million dollars, It is of interest to note that this in- crease occurred not only in our trade with the United States, but that other countries of the Empire, notably the United Kingdom and Australia, increased their purchases of Canadian paper, by between OU and 0 per cent Canatia has turthicr increased her lead among the countries of the world. as a producer of newsprint Whereas in "1928, the production of Canadian mills exceeded that of the United - States by 67 per cent, last year the Canadian production was 90 per cent. greater than that of our neighbour, "In reviews of previous years men- tion has been made of the menace of exhaustion of timber supplies, particularly pulpwood, and the need tor concerted action indicated. 1 am very gratified to record that a real start has been made during the year just past in the study of this most vital problem, In June last a con- ference was held with the respon- sible ministers and chief forest offi- cers of all the provinces, as a re- sult of which it was decided to con- duct on a co-operative basis a na- tional inventory of the forest re- sources of Canada. It is hoped 10 complete this task in five year's time and. the information when compiled and analyzed will provide the funda- mental data so necessary to the de- velopment of forest policies suitable to Canadian ion and orient- ed to the needs of Canadian forest industries, While necessarily cach provincial authority is conducting the of its own resources, the Government through th not only acting as a clearing house for information re ceived, but is conducting special re- searches into the nature and extent | of young growth in the several for regions of the country, *H axiomatic that any nolicy to be effective must conserfe | fest capital by restricting the ) vastage in the forest, cluding | t only all use by ind§stry, but als | by fires, sects' discase and] te an amgunt not 'exceedin which is prdduced in the forest | year through the natural pro-| ' growth, Man Testly no such can be devised lacking -essen- information witn regard to the growth our forest,--~the forest increment" as it is The Federal Government in nprehensive inves- tigation' into this phase of the prob throughout Canada, 1s RR effective contribution to the In dditio nm the Dominion responsibil f forest each 88 « annual a very mventory, also accepting the. conduct of inventory the Prairie Provinces. : "Viewing Canada as a whole fire season of 129 was per most severe ever experienced in the of this country.
