Reforestation D epends On Tim ber Use
The idea that to curtail the use of forest pro­
ducts is in the best interest of increasing our wood
supply, is false, said A. Fletcher Marsh, Vice Pres.,
Marsh & Truman Lumber Co., Chicago, in a recent
radio address. It is better to increase the growth of
forest material rather than to curtail the output, he
declared.
>
“ The trouble with us Americans is not that we
have been cutting our forests and using them, but
that we have not been growing new ones,” Mr.
Marsh'states. “ No, we are taking up that job. While
we are waiting for the young trees to get big enough
for sawing, we must remember that the woods are
full of aged and dying trees that ought to be cut and
used if we are to prevent waste—and that is as much
conservation as planting a young tree.
“ Besides, you only have so much land for for­
est growing, and if you let the Asged trees stand
indefinitely you put off the time when you can
plant young ones- The truly productive forest is in
perpetual motion—old trees coming out and new ones
coming in. It takes a certain volume of demand to
make it worth while to bring the old ones out, and
■o start the rotation. Wherefore, you are justified,
on conservation grounds, in continuing the use forest
products whenever and wherever they seem to be
better-than other materials.
,
“ Doing so, we. shall have trees and forests,
wood and its products, in perpetual sufficiency.”

* • “ In your schools the children are- taught to hate
England — I have talked with men of 40 and youths
Qf 20 and have actually found that many of them
have been taught to either despise or hate England.’’
, This is the indictment of our public schools
^brought by the bishop of London who cites this as
one of the causes for mischief between the two
countries. It is, however, a very intettiperate state­
ment and entirely contrary to the facts, a broadside
quite unworthy of the high dignity of the church
of England. But it illustrates a situation which
really has something to do with whatever lack of
sympathy there may be between the two great
English-speaking nations.
It’ is easily possible that in some American
public schools there are teachers who do not regard
England as a superior type of nation. There may
even be text books which discuss old facts and
issues in a way not agreeable to Downing Street.
But our respected friend the bishop is guilty of a
ridiculous hyperbole when he makes the flat charge
that our public school children are taught to hate
England.
This is a very large country, just how large is
seemingly incomprehensible even to the more in­
telligent people of England. A “ spot” of influence
which may be a mere speck on the map of this
nation of more than 110 million people, may be
magnified into a region of great importance in the
story carried, across the water. The great stumbling
block in the way of sympathy between .these two
is ignorance.
That ignorance is intensified and
played upon by just such wild statements as the
one made by the bishop of London- In one country
there is likely to be a development of sentiment or
opinion founded on just such unwarranted assertions
until the people themselves become obsessed w|th a
delusion that paints the whole people of another
nation in bad characters. The trouble with the
viewpoint of such high authorities as Bishop Ingram
is that he as well as many* of the more intelligent
class of English people do not understand .America.
Their ignorance of our probleitt^'Weir appalling
lack of conception of the great task of this republic
and the earnestness of its people, are discouraging
features in our international relations.
If we mistake not, the British, strong in char­
acter and integrity, in national confidence, and en­
terprise, are just a wee bit upstage as the Scotchman .
might say. Their newspapers, rich in reflections of
life in every corner of London and of England, are
not informative at all, except in politics, regarding
much of the rest of the world and particularly
America. This is not an indictment of the news­
papers for their endeavor to print, we assume, what
the British public regards as important for daily
reading. We have hope in this day of close communi­
cation, of the fast steamer, the airplane and the
radio, that there may be a cure for this otherwise
vigorous and wholesome, if self-centered people.
{Understanding will come. Bishops and others will
obtain a better grasp of facts about the rest of the
world. The time will come when no nation will
be obsessed with the delusion that it is the studied
and cherished object of hatred on the part of a
brother nation. The God will “ save England
