havens into which our people can hope 

 now and then to escape. * * * The 

 theory on which National Parks in this 

 real sense must be based is that the people 

 of the United States, who have set them 

 apart, can afford to keep and want to keep 

 this minute fraction of their total land area 

 positively and definitely as the one and 

 only reserve where these non-economic pur- 

 poses may be attained in perfection and 

 without compromise. 



"Unless we follow consistently this policy 

 of 'Hands off the National Parks,' with a 

 clear perception of the principle behind it; 

 unless we exclude from the parks every 

 commercial development which by any pos- 

 sibility can impair their quality as ex- 

 hibits of Native America and as places 

 for the unadulterated enjoyment of natural 

 scenery, we cannot avoid the gradual and 

 progressive diversion of the National Parks 

 from their proper purpose to those econom- 

 ic purposes which elsewhere rule unchal- 

 lenged in the use of land by man." 



PULP RESOURCES IN INDIA 

 "C 1 XCEPT in the annual waste growths of 



tropical and sub-tropical forests, the 

 cellulose Expert to the Government of 

 India as quoted in the World's Paper Trade 

 Review, states he has concluded that no 

 permanent settlement of the papermakers's 

 oft-recurring difficulties of supplies can be 



AMERICAN FORESTRY 



found. He has come to this conclusion 

 after 24 years' work on this problem in 

 various parts of the world. For many 

 years this expert has been doing explora- 

 tion and experimental work in bamboo 

 pulp; for the last ten years in the service 

 of the Government of India. After an 

 exhaustive exploration of the coastal belt 

 of Burma, he asserts that there is sufficient 

 bamboo in sight, with the Savannah grasses 

 of Assam, to produce 14,000,000 tons of 

 dry pulp yearly. Bamboo being a grass, its 

 pulp has many qualities in common with 

 esparto and it can be used for all grades of 

 paper. For newsprint while it does not ex- 

 actly take the place of strong sulphite, 

 bamboo can be advantageously used to the 

 extent of half the present percentage of 

 sulphite and if mechanical pulp continues 

 to maintain anything like its present value 

 it can be so cheaply produced that it can 

 take the place entirely of mechanical pulp. 

 The total cost of production will not exceed 

 one-half of the present cost of wood pulp. 

 A plant is being established by the For- 

 est Research Institute of India for further 

 experimental work in investigating new 

 sources of paper making material and for 

 assisting the development of bamboo pulp 

 enterprises. The Indian Government is 

 favoring schemes which are being de- 

 veloped for the production yearly of about 

 70,000 tons of bamboo pulp.
