TROUBLE OVER WOOD PULP RULING.
Canada May Take Steps to Stop Exports to
United States

Ottawa. Aug. 30-The ruling of the United States
Treasury Board against wood pulp and paper from
Ontario and Quebec has given considerable
Germ 20 the Canadian government and will be the
subject OF further inquiry by them. II is not
possible for the federal government 20 take any
further action 10 improve the tariff relations he
tween the two countries. The restrictions on the
expectation OF pulp wood which the United States
resented were put on by the Ontario and Quebec
governments. which the federal authorities
have no control. IL there such federal au-
thority IL is doubtful II IL would be exercised
10 satisfy the United States.
There is well grounded belief that the United
States will have TO come 10 Canada for paper and
pulp as well as for pulp wood. and the last ac-
ton OF the United States will probably have only
an effect OF increasing the agitation Throughout.
Canada for federal act prohibiting the exporta-
ton OF any Canadian pulp wood 10 the United
States: Such action has been urged in the Cana
dian Parliament for the las two sessions and
will be more strongly urged at the coming.
IL is certain. however. that the government
will not be driven hostile tariff legislation 10
satisfy the grievance OF few manufacturers.
Anything that is done will be carefully considered
for the benefit of Canada as whole.
