EMPIRE FORESTRY.
CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAMMES. INTEREST IN NEW ZEALAND. LONDON, Jan. 21. “It is satisfactory to learn from the Journal of the Empire Forestry Association that the Governments throughout the Empire are giving forestry its proper place in their constructive programmes,” says the Daily Telegraph. “If properly developed, the forests of the Dominions and colonies could supply Britain with almost all her timber needs and render us less dependent on foreign supplies.” The Telegraph points out that the State forests of New South Wales cover an area larger than Wales, while there has been an astonishing revival of public interest in New Zealand. The editorial mentions Mr Lane-Poole’s recent examination of the forests of Papua and New Guinea from the viewpoint of gunms, resins, tanbarks and essential pils, and remarks that his suggestion may or may not lead to immediate commercial results, but the field of research indicates that it has unlimited possibilities.—A. and N.Z. cable.
