For Paper Industry

Virginia U. News Letter

BY the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct
1.-THE University of Virginia News
Letter said today that with the
likelihood that all types of paper
could be produced from the South.
ern pine, "the future may see a
significant proportion Of the paper
mills in the country located In this
region"
Such a development" said the
semi-monthly publication of the
university school of rural social
economics, would do much to help
pull the South and even the en-
tire Nation into improved economic
conditions"
Developing the theme, Profits
for the South in Pulp and Paper"
the News Letter said the South
offered the paper industry tremen-
dous potentialities and the paper
industry, in turn, offered the South
a high-type, permanent industry
which with its allied effects can be
expected to bring marked improve
ment to the South's economic and
social order"
Several Plants Opened.
In 1887, said the Letter, the South
had only about per cent of the
Nations paper mills and 16 per cent
OF the pulp mills. Since 1887 several
plants have begun operations and
at present approximately S100 900 900
is being spent in the South on the
construction of paper and pulp
mills, the purchase of forest areas,
harbor improvements and the con-
struction of workmen's quarters.
The pine not only is the predomi-
mating type Of wood found in the
South, it was pointed out, but its
quick-growing characteristic en-.
hances its value to the paper in.

a more permanent site for its opera.
tions.
Big Area for Restocking.
The News Letter said of 200 900 0Qo'
acres Of forest land in the Soue
pine covered about 10000 900 II S
and this could be replenishe/ in
about IS years. Taking intr con-
sideration 100000 acres # cut
over land that is suitab1, for re-
stocking, the total Soutt .ern forest
area, potentially, was placed at
237 900, 900 acres.
Pointing out thSc in 1898 the
United States imported 4,549, zoe. $3.50
pounds of newsprint and exported
only 1l,290,759 pounds, the report
said it seemed apparent that
! development of the industry in the
South would serve to make the
United States largely independent
OF foreign producers.

and aircraft were also said to be
on the urgent list.
From the United States, 1t was
said. England expects to buy
through it's commission at Ottawa
large amounts of food, cotton, to-
bacco, metals and fuels.
However, the Wall Street men be-
lieved open-market purchasing in
volume might not be expected until
January.

However, In case Of accident or
crowding on one or both of the
single-track circuitous lines from
the Great Lakes and st. Lawrence
industrial districts to Halifax, Cam
ada might be able to ship as much
as she liked, under bond, over
United States railways. Through
out prohibition, for example, much
British liquor was shipped to West
ern Canada In sealed Canadian
freight cars from Halifax. across
New England and New York.
1t was pointed out that while
Canada hasn't great fuel supply
sources, there is ample present and
potential electric power in the St.
Lawrence region. Utility sources
here said that existing or readily
completed hydro-electric plants in
Eastern Canada could supply up to
an additional 100000 kilowatt pro-
duction capacity within a fairly
short time. However, it was said
that six or seven years might be
required to create great new pro-
duction plants utilizing the st. Law
renee itself, and that Niagara Falls
capacity had almost reached its
practical peak without producing
further disastrous ice jams.
There is no technical barrier,
these sources said, to almost unlim-
tied supply of United States gen.

border from Detroit and from Nj

Neutrality Problem Seen.
Some financial sources here point
ed out that such a supply plan
almost certainly would tempt Ger
many, If able, to try submarine
attacks on the British convoy sys-
tenn only short distance OF the
Maine coast. greatly increasing the
neutrality problems of the country.
Postwar considera tons, however,
were described as even more inter-
esting. The course of such q post
war economy, they said, would de-
pend largely on whether the British
empire had enough capital left at
the end of the war to finance the
transition.
Should great wartime industrial
plant in Canada be transformed by
British funds into a sound peace
time plant, they said. Canada could
become mighty industrial, finan-
cial and trade center of the British
empire, role for which it is geo.
graphically well located. both for
trade and military strategy.

These children were poor. But
even the poorest had a bag of

One child of had a tiny tin

Neither did his mother. None of

The children, who had treated

When the time came to leave, they
turned anxious eyes toward their
mothers, who stood behind a line of

Many mothers, who had been up
