Japan probably hopes to use the seal treaty as a dinb to frighten us into signing again on the dotted line in the matter of general trade between the United States and Japan Unfortunately icr Japan club is just about one thousand times as big as Destruction of the seals would be a disaster i industry, a disaster affecting Japan just as the United States.

During the latter part of the past gan tury and the early part of this one, there was an| riminal neglect of the future timber needs | almost of the nation. Virgin timberlands shrunk alarm-| ingly, and in the rush to remove timber scarcely anyone bothered to the tedious process of re- | placement. Conditions were left ripe for forest fires, which claimed even more trees than the woodsman's ax. And oil erosion—the direct result of unintelli- | gent treatment of woodlands and forests—became in eral decades’ time a pressing national problem. | 1 condition of American timberland has not rendered perfect overnight, but the steps toward have been far-reaching. The United Service reports that during the past five y more than one billion trees have been planted under Federal supervision. Last year an e of 950 trees an acre were planted on some 132,000 acres of burned and cut-over timberland More than 800,000 acres of national forest land have been reforested. However, it is estimated, three or four as much remains to be done to provide for timber production and adequate water- 1ed protectior This is work o ledger investment improvement State Forest ars tim orderly f a kind which appears on the as an expense. But, in truth. The trees being planted today | at an average cost of one and a quarter cents apiece | will be worth dollars to the next generation as tim- ber.
