476. The exportation of pulpwood taken from Canadian Crown lands is at present restricted. The President has just approved a resolution of Congress requesting him to appoint a commission of five members to enter into negotiations with the Canadian Government or with the governments of the several Provinces to bring about the cancelation of the restrictions upon the exportation of printing paper and pulpwood.
Please make immediate inquiry as to whether it will be agreeable to the British Government to have the proposed commission enter into direct negotiations with the Canadian or Provincial Governments.
