This new modern mill 4 has. been, pos: sible beeice of the combined pulp and sawlog production which is developed from the Company's Tree Farm License.

W. Mackenzie, preaident of Chemecell. Lid. -and president and chairman of the board of Celgar Ltd. and Columbia Cellulose, made one of the strong points of the whole meeting. He said: “Primary “ cems are not really talking ‘in their own long- trade while ensuring that, in the face of protectionism elsewhere, our own industrial growth is vigorous and reasonably’ diversified.” Mackenzie joined the Chemeelt group of companies in 1952 “from Ottawa, where he was deputy minister of trade and com- merce and of defence production. He is also a director of the Cana- Yon Fourkdiries Limited and Cel- anese Corporation of America.) Here are some of the emerging truths about our economy which suggest that a new mix of resources and manufacturing must be devised industries — forestry, agricul fishing — are, let it be noted, de- clining industries. The decline is not, absolute in ail areas, but these ought to make it far easier for pri. | seek re-election, mary and secondary producers to gocount for. a steadily proportion of the Cana- shrinking dian work force and of the value on the Old Formula of all goods produced. By 1990, for example, probably only 10-12 per cent of the work force will employ- ed. in these industries as against 35 per cent or more in the late 1920s. Second. We live in a world of glut and surfelt, Our resources art of little use to us 'f we can’t sell produce them at prices people are wilting to pay. The world has very large supplies of the basic raw ma- terials about which we Canadians 50 often boast. Third, We lve among nations —- and newsprint is a Canadian specialty. The implication of ail this is plain. Canada needs a broadly ba- sed industrial structure. Or, as Mac_ kenzie says, the resource industries need vigorous and successful secon- dary industries beside them. ‘This requires the government to do a number of very hard things.
