abroad will rest upon certain main 

 ingredients of trade : 



Agricultural Exports. 



Forest Exports. 



Exports of Manufacturers. 



Fisheries Exports. 

 What the forest sends abroad to 

 pay the country's debts is equal in 

 value [in normal times) to all other 

 manufactured goods put together. 

 The forest industries contain more 

 capital, fill more pay envelopes, and 

 employ more men than any other in 

 the Dominion. This thing is big 

 enough to be worth saving. 



Partners in a Public Cause 



The Canadian Forestry Associa- 

 tion is a national society of 6,500 

 members, without identification with 

 governments or commercial concerns. 

 These men form what is really a co- 

 operative body aiming to promote the 

 cause of better forest management. 

 Their point of view is wholesomely 

 patriotic and national. Only a small 

 percentage of the members own even 

 a stick of timber. Neither are they 

 sentimentalists about Tree saving; 

 their outlook is mainly economic. 



They are working by the swiftest 

 route — Education — to stop needless 

 waste of the easiest-won legacy 

 Canada will ever lay her hands on. 

 They aim to drive out forest fires, 

 which are the product of the human 

 *'I don't care." They aim to so im- 

 prove the forests as to maintain 

 hundreds more wood-using indus- 

 tries, employing thousands more men, 

 and pouring new wealth through all 

 the avenues of commerce. They aim 

 to conserve not "trees" but the 

 national advantages that huge tim- 

 berlands bestow. 



The Way of Working 



This co-operative society has a 

 permanent secretary and staff, with 

 officers in the Booth Building, Ottawa. 

 There is conducted a widely diversi- 

 fied educational campaign, reaching 

 tens of thousands of school children, 

 teachers, clergymen, settlers, rail- 

 road men, sportsmen, etc., through 

 scores of annual illustrated lectures, 

 motion pictures, magazines, propa- 

 gandist literature in large editions, 



special campaigns with governments, 

 a publicity bureau having the co- 

 operation of all newspaper editors, 

 and a multitude of other media. 

 The working methods have brought 

 abundant results in better laws, 

 stronger administratio^i and a grow- 

 ing body of vigilant and informed 

 public sentiment. 



The NATIONAL CONSEQUEN- 

 CES of these continuous propagan- 

 dist enterprises are recognized and 

 praised by public leaders and busi- 

 ness men everywhere. The work is 

 imperatively needed in these days 

 when preparations are being made to 

 equip our nation for the future strug- 

 gle, and to adapt our special ad- 

 vantages to the fuller service of the 

 Allied nations. 



Look the Map Over Again 



That strip of forest belongs to 

 Canada. But it is also a vital sinew 

 of the Empire, whether in peace or 

 war. With its protection and per- 

 petuation assured, Canadians may 

 confidently proceed towards a great 

 commercial development. Forest 

 industries, like agriculture, are in 

 the direct path of Canadian expan- 

 sion; 



41 DAILIES IN ONE CITY 



Buenos Aires has forty-one daily 

 newspapers, which consume 30,000 

 tons of news print a year, according 

 to Robert S. Barrett, a special agent 

 of the United States Bureau of 

 Foreign and Domestic Commerce. 



GERMANY'S PAPER DECLINE 



In 1913 Germany's paper exports 

 amounted to approximately $60,000,- 

 000.00, while 200,000 tons of pulp was 

 exported. The United Kingdom took 

 36,000 tons of the 95,000 tons of 

 wrapping paper exported, 18,000 tons 

 of the 77,000 tons of printing paper 

 exported, and 3,700 tons of the 16.000 

 tons of cardboard exported. 



Print paper costs five times as much 

 today in France as it did before the 

 war, and is hard to get at any price. 

 That is the explanation the press 

 gives the public for the increase in 

 price of 1-cent papers to 2 cents a copy
