and the B.C. Social Credit government

Ralph Loffmark’s department mokes a
curious claim,

Reporting production increases in
the pulp, paper, lumber and plywood
sections of the forest industry for the
month of May and in the first five
months of this year, compared with last
year, the report says:

“These healthy increases in output
clearly reflect the buoyancy in residen-
tial building and foreign markets,"

Such a blanket statement, unsup-
ported by other criteria which affect the
forest’ industry, is sheer shading of fact
to hide a much more serious situation.
It shows once again that statistics can be
applied to prove or disprove almost any-
thing — a process at which Loffmark

At a time when a large segment of
forest industry is operating at a finan-
clal loss, and when profits are down in
every sector including pulp and paper,
and when the Interior Industry is facing
a serious strike situation, Loffmark’s
politicking with industry statistics is most
untimely, ;
Loffmark’s enthuslastie recital about
the buoyancy of the residential and for-
eign morkets is refuted by the simple
truth that most producers are selling at
lower than acceptable profit margins and
quite a few at outright losses, If this
trend continues a good part of the in-
dustry can only go broke — as quite a
number of mills already did this year.

Surely that's simple enough math-
ematics, even for a politician,
