The effeet of the recent judgment . in the case of the Miehigan lumbermen stgainst the On torio Government is an object lesson for Canadians. It is stat- ed that arrangements are already be- ing made to move many of the'31ichi- e aau mins to Ontario. If the limited regulation of the Ontario Government has this effect it is easy to imagine the the. result of a Dominion Order -in - Council imposing export duties amon logs, pulp wood, 'unrefined nickel, cop- perand led.
