(Jack Stinnett Is On /acation)
WASHINGTON.—Of all the Eu
ropean countries, the late enemy
is likeliest to help us through our
dire lumber shortage.
The Germans didn’t deplete
their lumber resources. They
either were astoundingly sparing
of their forests or, more probably,
didn’t have the manpower to cut
them.
It is America’s good fortune to
| have occupied the zone which is
rated the best lumber area in
Germany. The timber is softwood,
desirable for construction.
The French got the storied
Black Forest, which is the biggest
single stand. The British got hard
wood.
Military authorities are speeding
the mills into operation. They
hope that the German supply will
cut down the amount which must
be shipped from America's dwin
dling lumber piles to house and
rebuild war-ravaged western Eu
rope.
* * e *
Efforts to find out what Russia
can contribute have met an un
satisfactory, if not frosty, response.
“So far Rusia has merely de
clined to discuss the matter,” says
Phillip J. Boyd, director of the
war production board's lumber di
vision. who headed a recent mis
sion to Europe. Boyd said Soviet
spokesmen wanted to wait to
“take better stock of the situa
tion.”
However, the army is getting
some lumber from Russia for its
own use. Boyd says it is "not a
large quantity.”
The belief that German lumber
was spared because of the Nazis’
desperate manpower problem, more
than any conservation policy, is
supported by the mission's discov
ery that some forests in the reich
actually needed cutting for prop
er growth.
If Germany's transportation sys
tem were running properly, said
Boyd, it probably would be un
necessary for this country to send
any lumber to Europe the rest of
this year, except for a few spe
cial types which are not obtain
able in Europe.
As It is. perhaps two or three
per cent of America's lumber pro
duction will have to cross the At
lantic in coming months. Officials
had feared the amount would be
;; greater.

year for all of Europe,” Boyd says.
Britain and the low countries
are pitifully short. Sweden has
lumber, but is confronted by such
a severe coal shortage that It may
have to burn much for its forest
output for fuel.
Last year the Swedes used 43
per cent of their wood production
for fuel, instead of seven percent j
as in a normal year. In this con
nectlon, it is worth noting that
Germany has coal also; it is cer
tain that allied officials will seek
to distribute it more equitably
among all European countries than
the Nazis would have done.
Finland has lumber too, but the
chance of tapping that source is
slim at the moment. Much of the
output is expected to go to Rus
sia as part of the reparations bill
presented to the Finnish govern
ment by the Soviets.
