Waste of Natures Wealth

Americans arc the opposites Of the
Japanese in that they are probably the
most wasteful and eytravagent people
under the sun James r. Hill once
voiced declaration TO the effect that
the greater part of America g progress
had been gained by using up the stored
capital Of preceding ages-something
for which we are indebted TO nature.
not TO our own energies. Soil, mines,
oil and gas reservoirs, forests, fisheries
all have been drained and drained,
with little or no thought that exhaus-
tlon of either was calculable. We eat
three times as much as is demanded bv
nature and more than is good for MS,
and we throw away annually enough
to feed the whole population Of japan.
Into our rivers in the form of poIlut-
inc sewage go fertilizers TO the value of
millions, which other peoples save and
which we would be doubly benefited by
saving. We could cconomize greatly if
we cared to in the quantity Of iron
and other metals we use, but, possessed
with the lnfatuation that they will
never run out, we are az prodigal
with them as with everything else,
whereas the limit Of the supply is
claimed TO be easily calculable.
But 1t Is In the waste of the forests
that American improvidence finds its
worst illustration. The nation has been
willing to sec its forests so devastated
that the present annual ''cut' and fire
waste cannot be continued for twenty
five years longer without destroying
every patch Of timber in America
