D. 0. SIR: It has just been brought to our attention that the soviet authorities in Russia have expended quite a sum of money to equip very large and modern sawmills for the purpose of marketing their forests that they confiscated in their revolution. They propose. with their pauper labor. to flood the United States with this product. The steamers that will transport this lumber are manned by forced pauper labor. As their timber holdings cost them nothing and their labor practically nothing. they. of course. are in position to ruin the lumber industry on the South Atlantic. As we all know. it costs a great deal more to employ American labor and pay them a living wage.
