PRODUCTION i
FOR THE WAR!
_ t
(
PORTLAND, Ore., April 11—A E
statement covering operations and *
costs of the spruce production divi- 1
sion was made public today by Gen
eral Brice P. Disque, just prior to his
relinquishment of the division and re- 1
signing as president of the Spruce
Production corporation, ^en. Disque 1
tells in detail of the development and
organization of the division which was
to increase-dhe monthly production of
material from 3,000,000 to 10,000,000
feet at once. The principal reasons '
for forming the corporation, as given
by General Disque were:
First: About 65 per cent of the pro
duction of aircraft lumber was alotted
to Great Britain, France and Italy and
it seemed only equitable that they
should bear that part of the expense
necessary to build the mills and rail
roads required.
Second: We were actually carry |
ing on a great industrial enterprise
and required the freedom of action
usually found in a business concern
and almost impossible under war de
partment regulations.
We provided in this way for our
allies to assist in the capital expendi
tures before they were made rather
than doing it after development,
through paving for lumber, the sales
price of which included amortization
of capital expenditures on a basis of
complete amortization in ten months
after completion.
Because of the importanme of the
lumber industry in the Pacific North
west there has been a great volume
of discussion regarding the operations
and costs of this organization. .Most
of it has come from people totally
ignorant of our problems, methods, or
other facts.
It is appropriate, therefore, to refer
to the quantity of production and cost
of same in this summary. The ac
countants of this organization have
had instructions from the beginning
to include in their cost accounting
every legitimate item and that meant
rent, stationary, telephone, officers
and Soldiers pay and subsistence, as
well as transportation and purchase
of stumpage, materials, equipment
and rights of way, and hire of labor.
The entire expenditures of the sig
nal corps, U. S. army, spruce produc
tion division, and the U. S. spruce pro
duction corporation from the begin
ning of operations to and including
April 1st, will not exceed $45,500,000.
The total footage o^ aircraft lumber
produced, shipped and paid for by the
signal corps, spruce production divi
sion and U. S. Spruce Production cor
poration was 143,000,000 feet.
Therefore if we assume that the cor
poration has no assets whatever, the
143,000,000 feet of aircraft lumber cost
$318 per M, and such a price contem
plates a complete amortozation of
every capital expenditure and expense
item involved in our operations.
However, the corporation has on
hand today tangible and salable assets
which, estimated at approximately 40
per cent of their cost, are worth $8,
000,000. Deducting this $8,000,000
from the total expenditure of $45,500,
000, we have an expenditure of $37,
500,000 for the 143,000,000 feet, at a
resulting cost per thousaind of $262.
To date the corporation has sold ap
proximately $2,000,000 of these assets
and have averaged near 80 per cent of
their cost price. Therefore, it would
appear that my estimate of $8,000,000
worth of assets which' is approxi
mately 40 per cent of the cost price,
■ould be very conservative.
In all of our operations it has been
rcvided that the allied governments
hall participate in the dead loss
/hich will finally result due to do
reciation in value of assets, in pro
ortion to the amount of aircraft lum
er supplied to them. Based on my
stimate of, and salvage of 40 per
ent of the cost value of our assets,
here will be a dead loss of $12,000,000
ollars, due to the operations of the
ignal corps, spruce production divi
ion and the United States Spruce Pro
luction corporation, and this loss will
vlil be distributed:
Thirty-four per cent, or $4,100,000 to
he United States.
Thirty-one percent, or $3,800,000 to
Ireat Britain.
Twenty-four per cent, or $2,900,000
to France.
Ten per cent, or $1,200,000 to Italy.
\ot course this loss must be consid
ired in connection with the fact that
America and her allies actually paid
in average price of $150 per thousand
feet for all the lumber that they re
jeived, and will pay no more.
