EMPIRE FORESTRY. LONDON, March 17
The Prince of Wales, in an eloquent address at Guildhall, in connection with the Empire Forestry Association, said: British vitality and eommousensa are now being applied to meeting tho world's problem of timber supplies, which are being increasingly overdrawn to meet the- demands of paper, and the artificial silk industries. In this connection, the Empire, ho said, was showing fine team work. India had led the way in forestry, but all tho others were taking it up enthusiastically. The Prince of Wales paid a tribute to the energies of the Australian States, especially in making experiments with exotic trees, anil .also in the establishment of a Commonwealth School of Forestry. New Zealand likewise was doing great work. It was unfortunate that, with the variety and excellence of the Empire’s timbers, Britain was dependent on foreign timbers to the extent of forty-six millions sterling last year. The Indian and Australian hardwoods and the Canadian softwoods were unsurpassed in tho world. He appealed to architects and furniture makers to remember these facts.
