WORLD IN 1941.
TREMEDOUS CONSUMPTION OF PAPERS. In 1931 the world’s consumption of paper amounted to 11 million tons. By 1927 this had increased to 19 million tons. If this proportionate rate of increase continues the world’s requirements in 1941 will be no less .Im 32 million tons! This tremedous rate of consumption, coupled with the faet that the world’s supplies of soft wood timber are rapidly dwindling indicates that the forests planted by N.Z. Perpetual Forests Ltd., in the interests of the bondholders will bo sold at peak prices! Even on present day figures £25 in. vested in a bond should have a value of at least £250 in from 12 to 15years’ time.
