The speaker urged as a matter of extreme 

 importame that Great Britain should en- 

 deavor to supplement its foreign sources of 

 supjdy of raw materials for the making of 

 paper with those awaiting development 

 within the Empire. He pointed out that 

 the jiresent dependence on Norway and 

 Sweden might involve a serious pro.dem if 

 either of these countries should become a 

 foe. In the exhaustive survey of the tind)er 

 resources of the Empire available for paper- 

 making, it was shown that Canada and Xi'w- 

 foundlanil led the way, both in materials and 

 process of manufacture, but it jiointed out 

 that the Dominion Government recogni7.e<l 

 the importance of conservation. 



.1 (Ay AVIAN EXPERIMEXT. 



The departure of Mr. 11. R. MacMillan, 

 Chief Forester of British cohunbia, for 

 Japan, China, India and Australia, as a 

 special trade agent of the Department of 

 Trade and Commerce emphasizes a new 

 sphere of activity for a Canadian forester. 

 If the quest for new trade outlets for the 

 British Columbia lumber mills proves suc- 

 cessful, it will indicate a versatility of talent 

 which the curriculum of forest schools per- 

 haps did not take into account. Although 

 Mr. MacMillan is the first Canadian state 

 forester to put his shoulder to the selling 

 end of forest pro<luction, the jiractice of 

 thus using experts in some of the > nited 

 States forest branches has been recognized 

 for some time past.
