In a resolution of the Chamber of Commerce, prepared by it's Leg islative Committee, is Juneau's ar- swer to the protest of the Aineri- can Paper and Pulp Association against the sale of timber in South east Alaska to prospective manu- lecturers of pulp and newsprint paper. It was made public today by Secretary G. H. Walmsley.
 The resolution is addressed to President Hoover, and copies are being sent to the Secretary of Ag- riculture, Delegate James Wicker sham, Charles H. Flory, Alaska Commissioner for the Department of Agriculture, the Alaska Terri- torial Chamber of Commerce and the Ketchikan Chamber of Con- merce.
 Text of Resolution
 The text follows in full:
 Whereas, the officers of the American Pulp and Paper Associa- tion recently requested the Press. dent of the United States and the Department of Agriculture to re- fuse to enter into any contracts for the sale of pulp timber from the National forests of Alaska, and to halt pending negotiations for the sale of pulp wood timber, advanc- ing as a reason therefor that there is already an overproduction ol paper in the United States, Canads and Newfoundland; and.
 Whereas, if the request of tht American Pulp and Paper Associa' ton should be granted, and tht President and Department of Ag' riculture should take any steps tt halt negotiations for the sale O pulp wood timber in Alaska, ol place any further restrictions upor such sale, or make any regula tions which would discourage pros pective purchasers from entering into contracts for the purchase O timber in Alaska for the manufac ture of pulp and paper, the sam' would be detrimental to the bes | interests of Alaska and of tn country in general: and,
 Would Hurt Territory
 Whereas, 1t is generally reeog nized that the vast forests of Alas ka which have been placed in res ervations by the Government o the Utinde States, thereby reservinI them from entry and preventing their use for any other purpose save the manufacture of pulp an' paper, will remain unsettled an unproductive and of little value t the Territory or to the nation un til the paper making industry ha been established in Alaska; and,
