LONDON, July 31. — So much tlm
I ber is being used for the war it Is said
by advocates of a government scheme
for reafforestation that if the war lasts
another three years the British Isles
will be entirely denuded of timber.
One feature of the situation is that
pre-war sources of supply nre no long
•r available. Fifty-five per cent of
timber in normal times came from
Hussia. Sweden and Germany, four
per cent from Norway, and 41 per
cent from France, Portugal and Spain.
Since the war this counrry has had to
rely partly on supplies from Norway
and Sweden and largely on French and
Portuguese supplies, and to make good
the deficit from woods and forests in
the British Isles.
To maintain the supply the nation
is making huge inroads into its own
standing timber. It Is impossible to
travel by rail through parts of Scot
land without seeing the wholesale cut
ting of trees. The axe Is making a
^ clean sw’cep of whole woods.
There are only three million acres
of wooded land in the United King
dom at the present time.
