THE TIMBER INDUSTRY.
In the course oC an interview thif week, replying to the remarks of Mr Massey, the. Prime Minister said it was exceedingly unfair to attempt to embitter timber workers by declaring that the Government had subsidised, a ship to bring timber to New Zealand. The steamers coming to New Zealand were subsidised entirely by Canada and those going from this Dominion were subsidised so as to benefit the farmers. The cost of timber was bo high, Sir Joseph Ward added, that men of small means could not build homes, and he proposed to set up a Commission to enquire into the whole timber question. This would enable the Government to find a remedy. He fully recognised our saw-milling industry should be helped legitimately.
