History repeats itself in baseball as

VAST FIELD OPEN
TO LUMBER TRADE
Commissioner Brown in Talk
to Hardwood Men Says
Needs Are Great.

The almost boundless opportunities
open to the hardwood lumber trade for
export to the countries Of Europe,
Northern Asia, Northern Africa and the
countries along the southern shores OF
the Mediterranean sea were reviewed by
Nelson C. Brown, trade commissioner Of
the United States department of com
merce, before the Lumbermen's club of
Memphis and their guests, the members
of the American Hardwood Manufac-
weekly luncheon of. the club at the
Hotel Gayoso, Saturday.
The possibilities for export lumber
sales are limited only by the available
bottoms, the freight rates under which
the shipments of lumber would move,
pay for it, Mr.. Brown told the hard,
wood men. Factors, he said, which had
combined to make the foreign demand
for lumber extraordinary are lack OF
imports for four years, Oh
native forests, unusual demand for re-
construction and Russia and Austria
out of lumber furnishing field.
1.-THE United States has not been an
export nation" Mr.. Brown said. This
country has been furnishing to foreign
buyers in the past only, 7 to 3 per 5 CEN
900, 900 feet Of lumber were sent to
Europe. However, Western and
Southern Europe annually import 15,-
900, 900, 900 feet Of lumber and consume
about 25, 900, 900, 900 feet.
Mr.. Brown also said that recon
.struction is not confined to Belgium
and France, as is popularity supposed,
The Italian front was longer than the
entire French n Belgian line; ltaly
has an area of 1890 square miles and a
great part of this was devastated. Ser

vania were three times swept by invad-
