five Common Market countries and the UK exploring the possibil possibility ¬ ity of selling Canadian lumber and particularly western white spruce Selling in Europe will be one of the greatest challenges lum lumbermen ¬ bermen In this area have ever faced Mr Wilmot said but I was nevertheless encouraged by what I saw Holland and Germany are wide open Belgium and France can take some white spruce Italys market is tied up while the UK will remain the best market whether it joins the ECM or not During his 3Mj weeks on the continent as part of a government-sponsored mission Mr Wilmot found some countries moving toward greater use of there own wood France is now providing two thirds of its own commercial woods need while Belgium and Germany arc also supplying substantial portions of their own markets But not even these countries rib GERRY WILMOT 5Vi week tour Skip to snap planet at 600 mile range MOSCOW AP The Soviet space ship speed speeding ¬ ing toward Mars is expected to fly

rates arc against Canadian lumbermen in the Italian market which will probably continue to be sup supplied ¬ plied by Russia Austria and Yugoslavia In the UK housing poses a major problem and western white spruce is daily gaining in popularity as a structural material in frame buildings Mr Wilmot said Major competition to Cana Canadian ¬ dian lumber comes from the Scandinavian countries Fin Finland ¬ land Norway and Sweden and from Russia Yugoslavia and Austria But this can be overcome in the lumbermen of this area are prepared to ship the odd sizes required in Europe and if the cost of shipping from here to the coast can be met Lumber in Europe is often dian and US markets This would mean more careful saw sawing ¬ ing and edging But Canadian construction grades will stand up in the Eu European ¬ ropean market he said and tlv technical problems should not pose too great a problem Shipping costs arc another matter Ocean freight rates arc not bad but it is very expen sive to move wood from the Northern Interior to shipsidc at Vancouver It would cost about 12 to send 1000 board feet of lumber by rail from hrre to shipside and then only about 32 to take it the rest of the way to Europe via the Panama Canal The lumber business has never asked for a subsidy yet said Mr Wilmot but one on the Prince George Vancouver rail run would be an opening to a fantastic market There is every opportunity for sales in Europe and the UK if these problems can be met The European economy is buoy ant despite a levelling off re- ordered in sizes not handled by cently and there is a great
