1 j PROTEST AGAINST PROHJRTTION j OF EXPORT. (PI'.ESS ASSOCIATION* TEL EC HAJI.) H-OKITIK A, February 20. The Wcstland Chamber of Commerce had under consideration last night the recent direction issued by the Government to the Commissioners of Lands and Wardens instructing them, when granting timberK utting leases or licenses, to make a stipulation that no white pine timber shall be exported from the Dominion. but shall be reserved for the purposes of the New Zealand dairying industry exclusively. j Strong exception was taken to the course proposed.. It was stated that the prohibition was being irregularly enforced, and was contrary to the recommendations of the Forestry Commission and to the evidence tendered to i the Board of Trade on the subject. It was resolved to ask the I ment to withdraw the instructions to its ' officers, and a sub-committee was set up ! to prepare reasons in support of this request. It was also decided to ask other ■ Chambers to co-operate, pointing out that great waste, as well as increased cost, would result, and that under such, stringent regulations timber would not be available for fruit-growers.
