A fact little realised by supporters of "Buy Empire Goods" is that only 5 per cent, of the Empire's supplies of softwood is drawn from within the Empire, while the remaining 95 per cent, is imported from such countries as Norway, Sweden, and Kussia. Bondholders in N.Z. Perpetual Forests, Ltd., help to decrease this unfair ratio by enabling the company to plant forests of softwood timber on the waste lands of the Dominion, which, when they attain maturity should prove a valuable source of softwood supply for the rest of the Empire. Estimates show, too, that with this huge waiting market top prices should be realised.—Advt.
