TIMBER SUPPLIES
GERMANY’S MUCH REDUCED. BRITISH WELL PROVIDED FROM EMPIRE. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.50 a.m.) RUGBY. April 17. The British action in laying minefields in the Baltic will further endanger Germany’s timber supply which already had been reduced by the Allied blockade. Britain's wood supplies on the contrary, are not seriously affected by Scandinavian developments, owing to greatly increased trade with the Empire. The "Timber Trade Journal,” says Britain will never be so short of soft woods as to handicap the prosecution of the war. It points out the advantages represented by Canada’s vast forests and the expansion of trade in the last few years with British Columbia.
