CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, July 1 NEWS dred and Forty Sevan CA; STLEGAR States Study B.C. Forest Methods Washington and Oregon states, south of the B.C. border, are extremely alarm- ed by, the inroads made by British: Co- iumbia into the lumber:and plywood mar- kets’ of the United States. Commenting on a hearing in Portland recently by the . Senate Committee on Interstate and ‘For- eign Commerce, the Portland” ‘Oregonian presented an editorial which. is of inter- est to we on Vancouver Island who de- pend upon:.the woods and the wood-manu- ‘facturing concerns for our livelihood. It follows in phrt: “Both ‘the U.S. Forest Service and provincial timber authorities in British’ Columba base stumpage prices on the “ price of the: finished ;product—iumber. or plywood. From. the product selling price are deducted’ cost$ for. falling, bucking, yarding, transportation to the mill, manu- facturing, administration and selling, AL: lowances are made also for building dc- cess roads and for profit and risk. ° . “But. the British Columbia lumber . - Manufacturer pays much lower stumpage prices for government timber, in’ most instances giving him a substantial ad- vantage over his Pacific Northwest com- petitor. This advantage, along with others in -shipping. costs,’ currency mani- “Canadian grading systems and prac- tices are different. “The U.S. buyer of government tim: ber must build-‘roads along the routes and to the specifications imposed by the Forest Service; in British Columbia -the operator may build his roads on routes : Kinnaird “An awards aay. program was held recently at the Kinnaird ele. mentary school for both the Valley Vista school: and the elementary schoot, : Harry: Bates,” principal, wel- comed students and parents to the ceremony and. guest speaker was the district's citizen. of the year, G..

Forest Service: “Many . wit esses ‘at the hiearing le- yelled charges at tte Forest: Service, in- volving © all for the welfare’ of timber purchasers “and the - communities: dependent’ ‘on’ federal timber for the’ -livélihoods, ‘and® even’. of the Forest Service's own policies. Mr. Mc, Cracken declared’ that “if: the: Forest: Ser- vice lied its‘ own’ iced policy ‘on ‘rotation ages, the annual allowable cut in western Oregon’.would be increased by 294.5 million feet and in Washington by ‘205.5 million feet. “Mr. McCracken’ pointed “out that; unlike the National Aeronautics and Space pulation, etc, has made it ible for Britih Columbia lumbermen to cut deeply and dangerously into the U.S. domestic market. 3 “At the hearing conducted in .Port- land by. the Senate Committee on Inter. state and Foreign Commerce, timber and’ lumber operators got down to specifics in their campaign to soften the policies - and attitudes of the Forest: Service. Com- paring the methods. by which Forest Ser- vice and British Columbia authorities. ar- rive at stumpage. prices, Joseph W: Mc-. Cracken, executive. vice-president’ of the - Western Forést* Industries Association, made the following points: A Code of Ethics Should newspapermen take steps . to form a code of ‘ethics based. ae approved ‘ds’ of This question * ‘was put to a gathering of French-language newspapermen by Secretary of State, Noel Dorion, at a re-. cent closed-door séminar held in Courvil- le; Quebec. : 1 The’ Secretary. of. State warned. of. the threatening drift from the sin of say-": ing too little. to. the worse sin of saying too much: .. Pointing out, that newspapermen are in the forefront of new movements, and * are. in- fact. the strongest supporters or critics of ‘stich ‘movements, he suggested - that “a. change .is taking place in the thought "directed at. the preparation ‘of newspapers’ which is reflected in the pu- blic readership. ~ He’ stressed the view that the public does not. want a partisan newspaper to- day, but rather a free media which takes no sides and. takes pains to inform its readers of all aspects of the news it cov- TS. “On the other hand, th the great media. of it tion have a policy of non-interference in public issues, This policy has reduced events to their most simple form giving them an unwarranted anonymity,” he said. Admitting a change in attitude was ~ necessary, he - warned that responsible newsmen must now find out if they haven’t overshot their mark. and passed on to the other extreme. He Said many have b d to sen- sationalism to such an extent. that the re- putation ofa man has. very, little value for. ’ pert his private life. They should never ration, the Forest Service has no basic policy-making organizaton above it. In the Department of Agriculture, of which. it is a part, there is. no’ higher|¢ group expert in forest ‘resource -manage- ment. As a consequence, technicians make as well as administer the policy, and from their decisions there-is‘no appeal to an independent agency. “It would be better for the Forest Service-and its many'.fine people, as well as for the timber industry, if basic policy weré set on a higher level. Maybe the Senate hearings held ‘in several ‘parts of the Northwest will lead to some ‘such solution.” — Nanaimo.
