Stockholm, June 21.

The Soviet Union has launched a timber sales campaign in Europe as part of her drive for in- creased trade with the free world, according to reports from West Europe and Russia reaching the big Scandinavian timber producers.

Soviet representatives at the meeting in Geneva last April of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, stated frankly that they wished to sell large quantities of timber to the West. They promised to get together with the Western countries at the meeting of the Com- mission's Timber Section in the same city next autumn,
