Jie was m close touch with astern paper con cerns and he was ulwas bearing of the scarcilv of raw material. j Practically all the available areas! -ere taken up. The Itoyal Com-! mission estimated that the for-! csts of Ontario and Quebec would last from thirty to forty years but the rate tif consumption was increasing and the estimate would be 'shortened. Also the use of paper products was increasing rapidly. Very soon the manufacturer must come to the Pacific cqast. Already this coast was exporting lo the east some rades of paper and the market for newsprint was widening. Pulp and paper was the great' I possibility for the develop nienl of northern forests. Lack of clears did not affect thai busi ness as it did Hie lumber maim I factoring. In Hie pulp and paper business they were not in com petition with the mills in Hie fu irea of-Hrilish Columbia, Wash ington and Oregun but with parts of the country where Hie cost of raw material was high. The solution of the problem so far as Ihe north was concerned was the manufacture oT pulp and paper. Development was likely to arise from those already m the busi ness' elsewhere. Encourage Local Industry Mr. McMillan suggested that in onler to encourage local mills 'hey use their own product b ally, lie referred to a case where Douglas fir was specified on a government rontrtfet. This had been changed when attention was drawn to ll. iiemiocK ami spruce were considered quite sat isfactory in Kastern Canada- and the I'nlled States, in Kngland and Australia and Japan and be thought it should be igood enough for Prince llupert. He urged tha" so far as possible people should use local products in order lo encourage local Industrie.

This increased production was difficult to understand. Those in Ihe business had to go on or go under. The profit went to lhoe who had very high grade shimnage or who could onera'e a the very lowest out The result Is Mint in the a great success outside of the pulp and paper business,, if the outside market was looked to.
