Import Quotas
On Lumber
Are Denied
The U.S. Tariff Commission last
week rejected the pleas of the
lumber industry for more restric-
tions on Canadian Lumber im-
ports.
In its report to President John
F. Kennedy after a seven-month
study of conditions in the soft-
wood lumber industry, the com-
mission said the increase in Ca-
nadian imports were not caused in
major part by past tariff conces-
sions.
Without a recommendation for
action by the commission the
President may not apply any res-
trictions on Canadian lumber im-
ports.
THE INDUSTRY HAD asked
for an increase of $1 to $6 per
thousand board feet in tariff
boosts and a quota of 6.5 per cent
of U.S. softwood lumber consump-
tion on Canadian imports.
"We are not unduly surprised,"
said G. C. Edgett, executive vice
president of West Coast Lumber-
men's Association. when informed
of the ruling.
Under terms of the Trade Ex-
pansion Act of 1962, said Edgett,
the lumber industry had to prove
that previous tariff concessions
were a major cause of hurt from
lumber imports. This would be
virtually impossible for any indus-
try to do.
EDGETT SAW SOME GOOD
resulting from the hearings. He
said that they enabled Congress
and other interested federal agen-
cies to get a much clearer picture
of the extent of harm being done
to an American industry from ex-
cessive foreign imports. Last year
Canadian imports reached almost
17 per cent of all domestic soft-
wood consumption in this country,
he said.
"We believe," Edgett stated,
"Congress is sensitive now to in-
dustry problems and will take
necessary steps to correct the
abuses. Several bills are already
in Congress. One would prevent
the use of foreign lumber in FHA
financed homes."

Mrs. Hansen Has
Bill To Require U,S.
Lumber In FHA Homes
Congresswoman Julia :BUtler
Hansen has introduced another
bill designed to help the lumber
economy of Southwest Washing.
ton. t The latest bill would require
all lumber used in housing Whose
mortgages are guaranteed by the
Federal Housing Administration
to be produced in the United
States.
Mrs. Hansen pointed out that
during 1962 a total of 260 885
housing units was financed
through Federal Housing Admin-
istration guaranteed loans. She
pointed out that this was 18 per-
cent of the total housing Starts
and through passage of her bill,
a new market for Northwest-pro.
duced lumber could be created.
"Residential construction now
takes about 40 percent of the
total amount of lumber consumed
in the United States today." Con-
gresswoman Hansen. said. "Thus
about 7 percent of total lumber
consumed in the United States
goes into housing, wiUl mort-sages
guaranteed by FHA. With annual
consumption of softwood hunber
approa_.hing 31 billion feet a lit-
tle over 2 billion feel per year
would be affected by the bill.;'

By Dennis Shelly
The preliminary approval of
plans for the $30,000 cafeteria-
auditorium building at North Ma-
son were received last Monday by
the school board. Final plans and
specifications are now being
drawn up by an Everett architect,
William Arild Johnson, before the
40 by 80 building will be publi-
cized for bidding on its construc-
tion. About two thirds of the
building's cost will be paid for
by the Federal Housing and Home
fiance Agency which has ah'ea-
dy allotted $18,900 for construc-
tion of new buildings in the school
district.
The school board has also mat-
ched funds from the student body,
approximately $600. for the pre-
liminary construction of tenms

der the chairmanship of Einar O1-

"As long as French President

Killian discussed file history of
the ]uropean Economic group and
recent developments.
He said the six-nation trade and
political alliance had its start un-
der U. S, urging and through the
formation of the atomic commun-
ity the same year.
