Letters Forest resource out of control To the Editor; There is absolutely no doubt in my mind where the present Forest and Lands minister and the Vander Zalm government stand on forest policy. Recent events make that crystal clear. The announcement on April 18, 1988 that the order-in- council allowing standing green export permits on the mid-coast, Queen — 250 loggers in the Prince Rupert Forest District alone - have lost their jobs. as a result. In the central interior where small loggers and mill operators _ were barely able to compete for the meager volumes put up in small operator sales, new stum- page rates have dealt the final blow. Several notices of timber sales now piling up on my desk show upset prices in excess of that which can be obtained for the finished product. There is no longer a place for the smail en- trepreneur in our forest resource. While all this is going on prime sawlogs are being utilized for pulp with literally no return to the people of British Colum- bia. I stood recently on the deck of Skeena Cellulose in Prince Rupert, as did other members of the legislature’s standing com- mittee on forests and lands, where prime sawlogs, better than most. which bothered the minister so much he cut off their export, were being chipped for pulp. The odd one even still car- tied an export tag. Where i is the justice there? Our forest industry in this province is totally out of con- trol, with a minister and his government firmly in the grasp of multi-national giants. Mac- Millan Bloedel found guilty of excess waste, the entire industry shown for what it is, but is there one penalty handed out? Of course not, but we'll sock it once again to the little guy, squeeze him dry while 90 percent of our resource, it appears to me, is being raped and plundered with little or no return to its rightful owner, It is truly a crime and no one seems to care. I can be reached by writing the Parliament Bldgs., Victoria, or by calling 387-3038 during office hours or 384-9285 evenings. Jack J.
