THE FORESTRY CONGRESS

1t is no exaggeration to describe, as Presi-
dent Roosevelt has done the forest problem
as the most vital internal problem in the
United States If we pay too much in freight
rates we can still get on. A few years more
or less in adjusting laws and institutions TO
human needs do not matter much In history
But any change OF photography which dimin-
ishes the country's productive power is a mat
ter Of the first moment A great deal has been
said in the last fewty on the Importance
Of scientific forestry, but there is need of mucn
more educational work and organized effort for
preservation and new planting, If in a few
years this country is not to be seriously, and
perhaps irretrlevably, ruined by the destruction
of its forests.
The American Forestry Congress now in ses-
sion in Washington has great work before It.
An encouraging feature Of the situation is the
fact that men prominent in the lumber busi-
ness, which hitherto has been almost solely
agent of destruction in mining and other
practical money making affairs are taking an
active part in the congress. Forestry is not the
fad Of academic scientists but the programme
of hard headed men anxious to make dollars,
yet far sighted in their desire not TO destroy
their principal through avarice for excessive in
terest. AS Secretary Wilson told them in his
address OF welcome yesterday, without for
estry the permanent prosperity OF the industries
which they represent is impossible
The timber area is rapidly diminishing I'm
less the forests are replenished it will not be
long before the lumber industry, which now
ranks fourth in the country, Will be reduced
TO small proportions. That would mean an enor-
nous direct loss but an intellectually greater
indirect loss 1t would involve the loss OF
wood as common building material and great
" increased expense TO persons In every walk

form the onerous but grateful duty. OF that
there can be no doubt Neither can we doubt
that equitable terms could he agreed upon
Japan would surely not be exorbitant in her
demands. If her interests in Corea were Sc
curely safeguarded and Manchuria were freed
from menaeing alien possession, we can imagine
her readily asserting TO Russia's commercial
outlet TO an open sea on terms which would
make that outlet an open door 60 all nations
and not the private wicket gate of political
aggression and conquest II Russia really
means her often repeated protestation that
she seeks no territorial conquests In China, but
merely an open passage TO an open sea and
the safeguarding Of her commercial interests
the attainment Of those ends should be now
within her reach.
But it is for Russia to make the first move
for peace She will doubtless find Japan ready
to meet her half way. and she will certainly find
the world at large ready and eager to go more
than half way in facilitating in every possible
manner the ending OF a war which has been
from the beginning grief to humanity and an
offence to civilization
New-York tribune., 1905-01-04

of life. The cheap cottage home. which is one
of our great blessings, would cease to be. Then
the denudation of forests means the disturb
ance of water courses. violent floods and
drouths. Cities are dependent on the forests for
their water supply. farmers for their rains and
fertile fields, manufacturers for their water
power. Let the reckless destruction go on and
we shall come to share the poverty of Spain
and Palestine and other countries where i'm
providence has turned naturally fertile lands to
barrenness.
1t is high time for the vigorous prosecution
by the States and the nation of an intel-
gent forestry policy. There should be co-opera-
ton of government agencies and an awakening
OF private landowners. Our important river
sources should be protected from all danger
and reserves enlarged wherever necessary.
Then, on land where it may be proper to con-
tinue cutting some way should be devised TO
secure wholesale repanting. In fact planting
should be more extensive than cutting, for the
destruction has gone far and a district once
denuded and its conditions changed does not
reforest easily.
