According to a statement niado by a rejtt’osentativ'e •sa-wntiller of the North Island, the new exchange hardly entered into the prospects of the industry. Since March, 1932, the Unemployment Board has subsidised the export to Australia of rirnu, ordinary matai, tawa and beech. This was to enable the industry to sell in Australia, the only considerable overseas market, at a figure that would permit the Australian purchaser to surmount the highly adverse exchange which then existed. Tne board granted a subsidy equivalent to the amount of adverse exchange in excess of £5 per £IOO,, to the limit of the then prevailing rate of £l4 7s 6d. This rate was never exceeded, so that the industry had only to overcome a rate of o per c-cnt. Now that exchange between Australia and New Zealand was 011 practically a par basis, or only 10s per cent, the actual benefit to the industry of the increase in the New Zealand rate was only 44 per cent. Tl.i.i would make little difference and certainly would not make possible the employment of another 3000 or 4000 men. There was in Australia at present a good demand for New Zealand white pine for butter boxes. This had resulted from the good dairying season experienced in the Commonwealth. Regarding the prices of timber, it was to be expected that imported Oregon and redwood, and joinery made of imported woods, would bo increased in price by 15 per cent as a result of the increase m the exchange rate.
