Compromising With Nature
All I have to say about forest policy could be summarised in a very few words, namely, "We must be prepared to compromise with Nature." Over a period of three months, we have been discussing the effect of European man’s impact on New Zealand and it has been an account of a destructive civilisation. I do not claim that we have said anything newas a matter of fact I have just been re-reading a little book in which everything we have said was said by Professor Crossman of Auckland University College. Now that book was written in 1909-over 30 years ago. The very fact that we have had to say it all again indicates that New Zealand has not yet learned the lesson necessary to perpetuate her resources.
