NAZI TIMBER SUPPLY.
j MENACED BY MINEFIELDS. (British Official Wireless.) Received April 18, 9.50 a.m. RUGBY', April 17. The British action in laying minefields in the Baltic will further endanger Germany’s timber supply, already reduced by the Allied blockade. Britain’s wood supplies, on the contrary, are not seriously ixTected by the Scandinavian developments owing to the greatly increased trade with the Empire. . The timber trade journal says Britain will never he so short of soft woods as to handicap the prosecution of the war. It points out the advantages repre-sented by Canada’s vast forests and the expansion of trade in the last few years with British Columbia. CLYDE MINED. The Admiralty has announced that an extensive area in the Clyde has been mined, and vessels wishing to enter must obtain instructions for a safe passage. A Bucharest report says the Rumanian Senate has provisionally accepted a Bill giving Germany a thirty years’ concession in three important Moldavian forests, comprising 100,000 acres of timber.
