   On August 31, 1990, a spokesman for Daishowa named Wayne Crouse publicly confirmed that a Daishowa subsidiary named Brewster Construction and three other Daishowa related companies "will be logging in the area that is claimed to be the traditional (Lubicon) hunting and trapping area this winter".
   
   Mr. Crouse said that "Brewster Construction, purchased earlier this year by Daishowa, made plans to log the traditional Lubicon area two years ago when a land settlement with the Lubicons was thought to be imminent". "Now", he said, "there is no alternative for Daishowa to use Brewster's logging in the area to provide the mill with needed fiber".
   
   "Boucher Brothers", Mr. Crouse said, "will log in Daishowa's assigned area in Lubicon-claimed lands by an agreement with Daishowa". "It's really been a policy to hold off as long as possible from going in there because we know there is a dispute", he said, "but in order to keep Boucher Brothers operating they have to have a wood supply, and their operation is crucial to our operation".
   
   "The two other companies", Mr. Crouse said (Buchanan Lumber and Bissell Brothers), "will supply Daishowa with aspen and coniferous wood chips, as well as harvesting spruce and pine for their own lumber mills".
   
   Mr. Crouse claimed that "Daishowa has maintained good relations with the Lubicons and the company is optimistic that the Band will permit the planned logging operations". "Daishowa", he said, "will advise the Lubicon of any logging activity in advance".
   ...
   Mr. Crouse reaffirmed that "The companies will be logging in the area that is claimed to be the traditional (Lubicon) hunting and trapping area this winter". He said "The Lubicon land is probably seven or eight times the size of the proposed reserve".
   
   Mr. Crouse said "There won't be any logging until we sit down and talk about the disputed land". He said "We know it is a very sensitive issue".
