At that time there were several

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch


New London, New Hampshire, Aug
ust 26-A conference between repre-
sentatives of the United States and
Canada to settle the controversy ov
or pulpwood from the crown lands of
the eastern Canadian provinces was
strongly urged at the convention OF
forestry experts and paper manufac-
turers here today The suggestion
was advanced by Colonel Henry S.
Graves. former chief OF the United
States forestry service and was ap-
proved by George w. Sisson Jr., pro-
sident Of the American Paper and
Pulp Association, and others. The
meeting was held under the auspices
of the society for the protection of
New Hampshire forests.
Work For Argument.
Colonel Graves said efforts by the
congress 10 bring pressure to bear
upon Canada to lift the embargo
against the United States on wood
from crown lands in order to favor
acute resentment in Canada and
might easily lead to an unfortunate
Misunderstanding. He thought the
proposed conference could work out

flying the Candadian forest reserve
laws Of New York.
Edward Beck Of Montreal, score
tary Of the Canadian Pulp and Paper
Association. considered the question
Of removing the Canadian restric-
lions one for judicial determination
rather than political agitation. He
said Canada had no reason to avoid
inquiry into the equity of its timber
laws by any impartial tribunal.
