FOREST POLICY. 



Export duties are imposed by countries in which forests are 

 scarce or in which the supply of especially valuable species is approch- 

 ing exhaustion; or else, by countries which desire to encourage home 

 manufactures of lumber by prohibiting the exportation of logs. 



Example: South American States in regard to quebracho-wood; 

 Ontario, for logs entering the United States. Timber cut in a U. S.,|for- 

 est reserve must not leave the State or territory producing it.
