Urges Conservation of Country's Forests to Insure Paper Supply Washington, Feb. 28. Conserva tion of the country's forests as a means of insuring a future paper sup ply was urged in a statement issued to-day by Carl Vrooman, assistant Secretary of Agriculture. The paper problem, he said, primarily is a for est pr'cTbleni and can be solved by reforestation and scientific forestry to keep up a continuous production of pulp woods. "At the present moment," the state ment said, "we are using daily 6,000 tons of newspaper and this is increas ing at the rate of 10 per cent, a year. We need about seven million cords of pulp a year for all our paper pro ducts and at present only two-thirds of* this supply is grown in our own forests. We import a third of our newsprint pulp wood from Canada, and between 15 and 20 per cent, of the pulp wood used for our other paper products from Europe. Since the war this latter source has been cut off. "In qrder to render the United States independent of outside sources for paper we must first of all elimi nate us much as is feasible of the waste in logging, {Then we must re- paper, and "develop woods hitherto unused Jto any considerable extent.\ "Both, public and private enterprise must take' the lead in the intelligent reforestation of private lands. We must provide for the development of privately-owned timber lands by compelling fire pr<tection and thus checking annual losses amounting to millions of dollars. "Moreover, the public must recog nize the benefits to the community af forded by the reforestation of private la-fids and the burdens Imposed on their owner In deferring Income from them. The comthunlty should substi tute for all other forms of taxation what Is known as the yield or harvest tax on forest lands which are managed so ns to meet their public obligations.
