HOW UNITED STATES GAN MEET PULP-WOOD EEQUIEEMEXTS.

less than in newsprint paper, totaling for both Canada and Europe less than an 
equivalent of 325,000 tons of paper since 1S99. 
While total requirements have been growing at the rate of S2,000 cords a 
year since 1S99, imports have been growing at the rate of 60,000 cords. Total 
imports in all forms, paper, pulp, and pulp wood, from all countries are equiva- 
lent to about 2,050,000 cords. Of this, 350,000 cords comes from Canada in 
pulp-wood form — more than for any other paper grade. An additional 1,375,000 
cords comes from Canada in the form of wood pulp or newsprint. Figure 16 
shows more strikingly than discussion the trend of the imports in comparison 
with the use of domestic pulp wood. 
OTHER KINDS OF PAPER. 
It is unnecessary for the purposes of this report to make similar analyses of 
our dependence for other kinds of paper. The amounts involved for any one 
class are relatively small, even though the totals for all kinds may be important. 
Furthermore, the complications encountered in such analyses are such as to 
make them extremely difficult and unsatisfactory. 
Some of the preceding relationships between domestic pulp-wood supplies 
and imports in pulp wood, pulp, and paper form are summarized graphically 
in Figure 17 for newsprint, wrapping paper, book paper, and boards.

Fig. 17. — Only about one-third of the pulp wood required for newsprint paper is obtained from domestic 
sources. While imports of pulp and pulp wood are large, paper is by far the largest factor in newsprint 
imports. Two-thirds of the wrapping paper consumed is derived from domestic pulp wood, and pulp 
is the largest factor in the imports. Pulp is the largest ffiotor in imports for both boards and book paper. 
COUNTRIES. 
Any analysis of our imports would be incomplete withough a recapitulation 
by countries. Those of Europe form a logical group and are treated together. 
The discussion of Canada includes Newfoundland and Labrador. 
EUROPEAN" COUXTRJ.ES. 
Pulp and paper are imported from a number of European countries, but only 
Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Germany, in about the order named, are of 
particular importance. Imports from non-European countries other than Canada 
are so small that they are incorporated without materially influencing the totals. 
Altogether Europe in 1922 supplied an equivalent of approximately 1| million 
cords of pulp wood (Table 27) or 17 per cent of the total of 9,148,000 cords needed 
for the entire paper requirements of the United States. Fully 96 per cent of 
these imports came from the countries named.
