Analysis suggests removal of lumber tariffs and trade barriers can improve national welfare and relations.
The author believes that reduction of trade barriers is necessary if national welfare and international relations are to be improved. Lumber is one of the commodities well adapted to free trade, and it is therefore recommended that all lumber tariffs be removed. Indirect or secondary trade controls should also be avoided because they may be used to defeat the main policy of free trade.
