WANTS SUPPORT He promised in a telephone interview to abide by the planning process once he has obtained an indication of support from the politicians. The owners of the huge West Edmonton Mall want to build their mega-mall on 113 hectares south of Highway 401 opposite the Lester B Pearson. International Airport And they want financial assistance from the Ontario Government ‘The project has interested Mayor Hazel McCallion, and a number of Mississauga politicians who have visited the Edmonton mall, primarily because of the promise of a flood of new tourists, jobs and tax revenue. The brothers are trying to coax a formal statement of support from Mississauga Council and the Ontario Government before submitting any detailed plans: ONLY BROCHURE At this point, Fantasyworld exists only in a glossy brochure and the minds of the four flamboyant brothers. “It's all smoke and mirrors so far,” said Kenneth g. i to C and Commercial Relations Minister Monte Dwinter. Kwinter and his staff were asked to consider the proposal for the provincial government after the Ghermezians first approached Premier David Peterson more than a year ago. The Ontario Government has said it will wait until Mississauga has made its decision on the mall before. considering any provincial financial support. Russell Edmunds, the planning commissioner for Mississauga, said his department is having to study the economic and transportation impact of the Fantasyland project with a lot less detail than it usually gets from a commercial developer. “Iv's an unusual way to deal with it, but it's an unusual project,” he said No further plans are likely to be forthcoming soon, Ghermezian said “I think we've given them what there is to say,” he added Edmunds said the tactics the Ghermezians are using put both the city and the province in a precarious position. They want to give some indication of interest in building the project, he said, without then rendering the planning process a\ ‘hr (Ontario Municipal Board useless. McCallion said the taost the city would be prepared to give would be a statement of interest in the project, which she said would in no way commit it. “We'll treat it like we treat all developments.” However, Heyland said any advance indication of interest by the two governments could be seen as tacit support If the project was then referred to the municipal hoard for detailed scrutiny, there would be little point in appealing any decision to the cabinet, he said And this would effectively be natural justice to opponents of the mega-mall lumber MONTREAL (CP) — Can- adian revenue from lumber exports would fall if the U.S. imposes a threatened duty but there would be no major decline in the volume of the exports, says a study by the National Bank of Canada. Bank economist Michel Lefebvre says Americans need Canadian lumber so much that any countervailing duty “would hardly affect the volume of U.S.-bound ex- ports.” The study estimates ex- ports would decline by one billion board feet, or about seven per cent, in the first year following imposition of the duty. However, a 27-per-cent duty would cut Canadian export revenue by $815 mil lion US, the study estimates, and Lefebvre says “some weak Canadian producers would close.” The study was based on the 27-per-cent duty origi nally sought by American lumber producers, who com plain that Canadian provin- cial governments ¢harge so little for timber from Crown land that Canadian lumber is unfairly subsidized. The duty being sought has since been increased to 32 per cent, with a ruling expected Oct. 9. The National Bank study suggests that overall lumber prices in the United States would rise by 3.6 per cent with a 27-per-cent duty against Canadian lumber.

The storm is rolling in from the south in the form of a threatened 32-per-cent duty on Canadian lumber flowing to U.S. markets. The men who toil for timber face an uncertain future, and they don't like it “It upsets me,” said Abe Friesen, the soft-spoken general manager of Weldwood Canada's new lumber mill in 100 Mile House. “We'll be hurt by it, but one way or another we'll survi it Van semeld, general manager of the Cariboo Lumber Manufacturer's Association, expresses the frustration “Real anger at times comes close to the surface,” he said. “But there isn't any real point in venting it.” The Americans are accusing the Canadian forest ndustry of using artificially low stumpage to gain a lumber processed by the mill can meet the MSR grades. Advances like these in sawmills throughout the Cariboo and elsewhere are a big reason, the industry argues, that Canadian lumber has made such large inroads in the U.S. market O'Donnell, who has seen the dispute from both sides of the border, now shares his Canadian colleagues’ concern about what will happen to their super-efficient mills once Americans get through with them “They (the Americans) are making a terrible mistake,” he said. “There are two different philosophies about how to use a resource. The U.S. doesn't specialize in dimension lumber. We do.” ample, higher prices in the United States might make it possible for some American producers that closed during the past two years to reopen Canada currently holds one-third of the U.S. soft wood lumber market, up from 18.5 per cent in 1970.

They spent millions on new technology and laid off thousands of workers whose jobs will never return The process starts with a completely mechanized logging operation to harvest the trees and finishes with computer-controlled mills that automatically set the saws to cut the logs into products that give the company the best return In the woods, machines snip the trees off, literally, and stack them. Other machines strip the limbs off, and stack them again where still more machines load them on to the trucks that take them to the mills. There's nary a chain saw in sight Logs arriving at the Weldwood mill — mostly lodgepole pine, spruce and fir with some Douglas fir mixed in — are immediately scanned by a computer that essentially tells in an instant how to cut it for maximum return. On the operator's screen flashes the lengths recommended, the volume of products that can be produced and the return to the company based on an up-to-date market price.
