Castlegar Has Stake in Wash. Hearing

An important hearing in which Can-
ada has a $260 million stake is sched-
uled for Oct. 2 in Washington, D.C.,
when the U.S. Tariff Commission opens
its i tigations into Canadian softwood
lumber exports to the United States,
Eighty per cent of these exports, repre-':
senting $208 million, originate in British
Columbia and so the hearings are of vi-

figures ‘. as Senators Nuemburg and’

balance of more than $750 million a

country exported $3.1 billion worth of
goods across the line, of which $1.3 bil-
lion came from the forest industries. In
return, the U.S. sold $3.8 billion worth
of goods to Canada.
