Speech #610033038

I know. but I did not want to present the picture in its full horrors. you know. I wanted to put it mildly. and not to send out a message that would bring terror to the hearts of the Canadians at all. Mr. President. assuming that within twenty years our present rate of the use of timber would exhaust the Canadian supply. then the Canadians will have to come down here to get timber. It would promote immigration from the north. They would be compelled to come down here and help us eat up our timber. 0. Mr. President. the whole picture that is drawn resolves Itself into such a concrete mass of absurdity that no reasonable discussion can be based upon It.
