By the Associated Press. Need of eliminating waste in the printing husiness, as shown in the re- port just issued by the committee on elimination of waste in industry of the American engineering council, is one of the most powerful arguments ever put forth for a national forest policy, says a statement by the Amer- ican Forestry Association, which has made it the occasion to call on the world press congress, which meets in Honolulu In October, to take some action on the forestry question. “Upon what does the newspapar de- pend for existence?’ says the state- ment, “It depends upon paper made from wood pulp. There are about 2,600 daily newspapers in the coun- try. Our annual consumption of two million tons of news print a year means a strip of paper as wide as the regulation daily paper and about forty million miles long. Just as a measuse of distance, remember that the sun is ninety-two million miles away. It would also make a two- | foot wide ribbon of newspaper around |the world 1,600 times. X Law of Necessity to Prevail. | “The time is coming when the eco- nomic law of necessity will bring our jewn publications to some sort of re- | trenchment. The editors of the United States and of the world must tike up this question. Already more ithan one-third of our pulpwood {comes from across the Canadian bor- {der, and Canada, profiting by our {mnistakes, 18 now taking steps to for- bid the cutting of timber at a rate more rapid than its growth. That means primarily that our annual im- rortation of Canadian pulpwood has practically reached the maximum, and for the other two-thirds at least, we jwill ‘have to -look after ourselves. “If we once squarely face the facts, the solution of the problem will not be difficult. It is estimated that about three million cords of wood per year are manufactured into paper ~for magasines and newspapers. At ten cords per acre this would mean three hundred thousand acres. Supposing | that it takes about forty to fifty years ito grow good pulpwood spruce, and allowing for possible loss by fire, wind, blight or failure of seeding, & tract of thirty thousand square miles planted with forty successive crops of timber, each crop coming to maturity proper care and management furnish a perpetual supply of pulpwood for news print. This means an area a little smaller than the state of Ohio, but represents less than one-tenth of the area of our cut-over lands, most of which are now almost entirely un- productive. Perpetual Supply Posisble. “There is no question that a perpetual supply of pulpwood for all needs is_a possible and practical scheme. It will not, however, come merely for the asking. There must be first a proper national forestry law, with adequate provisions for fire pro- tection and government of reforesta- tlon on a scale large enough to demonstrate the economic soundness of the idea; second, every state must adopt thorough-going forestry prin- ciples with provisions to protect growing timber from exorbitant taxa- tion, and, finally, with these laws as a basis, the pulp and paper industry, ! together with all other wood-using industries, must be made to see that in practical reforestation and con- servation lles their only salvation. To accomplish these three things will require the united efforts of every man and woman. We should not leave to any group of foresters and legislators the sole initiative in solv- ing such an important economig. pre lem, but, by the continued express: of our thought and conviction, we can urge those groups to supply our imminent need. “Here is waste that staggers the Close 6 p.m. Sale starts promply at 9:15 §7.95 1§38 ceoccsser 5500 §1.00 S 81.59 95¢ $989 evssveved OFFORESTSAVIG on both sides of a road extending from New York to Chicago. With four peo- gl! to a house, these 100,000 or more uildings would provide'a home for nearly one-fourth of our yearly in- crease in population—a number suffi- cient to populate a new city each year the size of Cincinnati, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Missouri or eattle. B Frequency of Forest Fires. “More than 160,000 forest fires have occurred fn the United States during the past five years, 80 per cent of which were due to human agencies and therefore preventable. These con- flagrations burned over 56,488,000 acres—an area greater than that in- cluded within the atates of Ohio and Pennsylvania—and destroyed $85,700,- 000 worth of timber and property. If this needless waste were stopped and the material thus saved put into houses, the various busipess interests concerned in building 'construction, such as lumber dealers, carpenters, masons, and lupnlx houses, would, it is estimated, benefit to the extent of more than $400,000,000 annually, the American Forestry Association points out. Bankers and real estate dealers would also profit through the sale of lands and by loans on homes .to the extent of an additional $300,000,000. ‘““There are 81,000,000 acres of idle land in this country that should be put to work grwoing trees at once” the association’s statemen: concludes. “This 18 a proposition directly tied up with national prosperity now and in the future. All the money in the world will not buy food it there is no food, All the money in the world will not produce trees to order. We must be- gin right now to protect what forests we have and .to haye -forest crops every year just as we have corn and wheat crops. The committee on the elinrination of waste in industry, has performed a valuable service. but the great waste is idle land, and a great part of it is In the cast anl middle west, close to the yreat mewspapers, the greatest consumo>rs, who are now paying thousands of dollars n ircight rs;el, to say nothinz of a hign market price.” of lack of water, longed drought. houses were burned.
