SCANDINAVIAN REPATRIATION.

The separation of Norway from
Sweden was followed by political
social and commercial awakening in
both countries. A sequel of this, too.
is the effort on the part of Sweden to
induce scandinavian immigrants to re-
turn from America to their old homes.
1t would appear that the Swedish min
lister at Washington has received in
structions to look thoroughly into the
matter of repatriation and to offer
suggestions as to the most feasible
methods of procedure. The Nor
wegian government has as yet taken
no official action along similar lines
but is watching Sweden's campaign
with close attention and interest.
Naturally both countries wish to
regain the serious loses to their
citizenship incurred in the past half
century, and their ambition would be
most laudable were it not so quixotic.
The old countries are presenting con-
tinually increasing opportunities and
they need active, energetic young men,
but it is extremely doubtful if they
can induce even a small percentage of
their countrymen in America to re-
turn. Scandinavian-Amer are too
we'll satisfied with what this country
has given them and what it has to Of
fer.
Possibly. quite probably, few may
be induced to return; for instance,
now as heretofore, those getting we'll
along in years yearn for their father
land and will go there to spend their
declining days and the fortunes they
have accumulated in America. Some
of the unsuccessful Scandinavians
here, although they are few and far
between, may also return in hopes of
accomplishing on their native soil
what they have not been able to do in
of little value. Scandinavian bone
and sinew which has and is playing
such an important part in upbuilding
the west and the northwest has become
bone and sinew of this country. Sec
ond and third generations can have
but a vague love for the fatherland
their eyes have never rested upon,
and there could be no wholesale trans
planting among their ranks such as
Scandinavia hopes for.
Norway and Sweden will do better
if they turn their energies toward
keeping the men they have. and to
making richer opportunities for them.
Those who have once tasted of the at
fractions America has to offer are ex-
tremely unlikely, for purely senti-
mental reasons to put them aside.

IRON AND WOOD

So much has been said of late re-
garding the depletion of our forests
that the impression may be created
that we are passing into a position
unique among nations. of not having
any timber supply Of our own. Such
is distinctly not the case. However
serious may be the present rate of
drain upon our forezts. if there is any
uniqueness in our position among ma
tons it is that of still having an i'm
mense area of untouched timber land.
1t IS not that our forests. as a natural
supply to a nation, have become small
but that the present area is small COM
pared to that which once existed. We
are driven towards forestry not be-
cause the supply Is scant. as such sup
plies go throughout the world, but
because we have been tending rapidly
