SHORTAGE OF WOOD
BECOMING MORE ACUTE IN GERMANY LIMITS ON INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION. CALLS ON ALL AVAILABLE SUPPLIES. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. (Received This Day, 9.20 a.m.) • BERLIN, February 7. An official investigation into the increased German consumption of wood suggests that the output of synthetic fabrics is not substantially able to be increased beyond thg. present production. It is pointed out that the 1938 consumption of wood was 55,000,000 cubic metres, of which 45,000,000 was from German forests. Imports have decreased in comparison with pre-war supplies, owing to the economy of foreign exchange and the unwillingness of other countries to supply owing to the exploiting of their own timber. It is also emphasised that Germany at present is achieving a maximum production from forests, hence the need for colonies as wood is required increasingly for building, staple fibres, wood gas, cattle fodder and alcohol.
