An Australian study of American forestry

Abstract

The law of development is evolution. The lines of national development are conditioned by the national temperament. The national law and policy are the expression of the national mind. Militarism may be the accepted gospel in Germany, but not in the Antipodes. German, or French, or Indian forest policy may be good for Germany, France, or India, but not for Australia. Nor is it possible to transplant and acclimatise a fuU-grovm tree, although a seed or a seedling may succeed. Germany, France, India, and other countries, where an intensive form of forestry has been practised, have established their forestry systems upon a local foundation.-Supei-visor. Deputy Supervisor.
