been enough to bridge the gap be between � tween what the American indus industry � try produces and what its mar market � ket demands COOLING PERIOD Arguing against American de demands � mands that Canada impose re restrictions � strictions on its exports the statement said a cooling off period was needed to bring out facts that showed Canadian imports by the US could not possibly have put people out of work We can supply the best at the best price and as the top customer of the U SA wc have a right to ask that we be al allowed � lowed to continue selling lum lumber � ber at the present rate of pro progression � gression and even at an ac accelerated � celerated tempo if this is nec necessary � essary to satisfy American de demand � mand for lumber and wood products Commenting on the statement Henry Bahr vice - president of the National Lumber Manufac Manufacturers � turers Association said the Am American � erican industry might engage in a general anti - Canadian campaign unless

wont agreehe said in Washington The American producers had tried for years to maintain peaceful relations with the Ca Canadian � nadian producers but if we get no co operation here wc may be forced to use every political prossure to defeat US policies that may be favorable to Can Canada � ada He said the American indus industry � try Is faced with increased un unemployment � employment and is asking only for a fair settlement The Canadian association is well aware that through Cana Canadian � dian dollar exchange manipula tion Canada is able to under undersell � sell US softwoods in the US
