The company had filled its contracts without cutting u stick oft the new unit. Mr. Cox maimed that " recom- mendation did not suggest action which would disrupt the active paper and pulp industries.

During the life- time ot that regime. he chasm. a timher company holding a. limit had repmfed that the limit was burned and that they required more umber.
