HOW UNITED STATES CAN MEET PULP-WOOD EEQUIEEMEXTS. 21 
Sixty-one per cent of the new pulp material was secured from American forests. 
We imported 26 per cent from Canada and about 15 per cent from Europe. 
Exports offset imports by only 2 per cent. As in both book and wrapping paper, 
pulp is the outstanding factor of the imports, totaling 27 per cent. Pulp

Fig. 14. — American materials used in producing wrapping-paper requirements show a slight downward 
tendency. Increased consumption, however, is being met by foreign supplies. Imports of wrapping 
paper or its materials are less than of any other paper grade 
imports alone are expanding appreciably. There is a relatively small import of 
manufactured boards and a still smaller volume of pulp wood, only 6 per cent, 
and all from Canada. The 27,000-cord spruce and fir pulp-wood import is manu- 
factured into mechanical sulphite and sulphate pulp.

Fig. 15.— The amount of domestic pulp wood used in boards seems to be falling off slightly, but board 
consumption is still increasing very rapidly. 
Our total dependence, as in the case of both book and wrapping paper, has 
increased both relatively and actually. In four years the contribution of Ameri- 
can forests to board manufacture fell off approximately 80,000 cords. Figure 
15 shows the decline.
