A SELF-SUPPORTING NEW ZEALAND! Every additional primary industry established in New Zealand helps in some measure to keep imports below exports, and increase the national prosperity. Consequently the successful establishment of over 200 square mile 3 of softwood forest by N.Z. Perpetual Forests, Ltd., is a further step in the direction of a self-supporting Dominion. At the present time over £1,000,000 ‘per annum is sent overseas for the purchase of pulp and paper, a sum which will largely be kept in the Dominion when this forest reaches maturity and pulp and paper-mak-ing mills are established. Now Zealand is fortunately situated for this industry in that soft_wood trees attain maturity in this country three times as fast as trees planted in the Northern Hemisphere.— Advt.
