He also objected to the OPA price setup under which mills were permitted to sell lumber for foreign nations and for use in railroad cars at a rate higher than can be charged to dealers. ; Mr. - Forrest said lumber dealers do not object to paying higher prices at mills, but under existing regulations “honest” dealers cannot obtain - the lumber at the OPA prices, - “The building industry will build houses without government edicts,” Mr. Forrest promised, “if we can get production at the mills.”
