EMPIRE EXHIBITION.
BRITISH OR FOREIGN TIMBER? By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright London, Oct. 31. Mr. E. C. Horton, president of the Federated Home-grown Timber Merchants’ Association, writes to the Press saying he does not know whether the Dominions have been approached regarding timber supplies, particularly fencing, for the Empire Exhibition, but he could say definitely that Britain s native timber trade had not been consulted or invited to tender for the provision of the necessary timber, which could have been supplied without difficulty. The native trade was suffering from general depression and was consequently even better able to transact urgent business than normally. The irony of the situation was enhanced by the inference that it is necessary to use foreign timber for a British Empire Exhibition.
