It is possible that this information has not reached all the bases in detail, but it is not too soon to acquaint the Contracting Officers with your reliability, and willingness to cooperate in what appears to be an excellent opportunity for the retail lumber dealer to participate in some military procurement, said the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

RememberMalthus?...

In the time of Thomas Jefferson, a grim and gloomy preacher of the Gospel, the Rev. T. R. Malthus, won a considerable place in the public eye by exposing increase in human population as an evil on the earth. There was nothing joyful about babies in his sight. The Rev. Malthus looked on babies and warned, "Stop having 'em, folks, or there'll be HELL to pay."

Nobody paid the doctrine much notice in this country. The Louisiana Purchase was made, the Lewis and Clark expedition was concluded. Too little land? Too many people? Phooey!

Europe was over-crowded with humanity, to be surefamished, diseased, miserable humanity. Many wise men sau' eye to eye rvith Malthus there. But most European people were not wise. They went right on having babies, amid disease, misery and starvation.

And so they do today, with Europe suffering a hundred million more people nou,' than when World War. II began. With babies being born in this country at the rate of seven a minute, we of the U.S.A. are beginning to take the oldtime warnings of the Rev. Malthus right seriously. We know that nothing breeds Communism like hunger, cold, disease and poor housing. Thus, slum clearance.

But where's it to end? Where's hope? Maybe-in trees.

Too Many Trees

Militarists have used the ideas of Malthus to justify war as a "necessity," as an old, tried-and-true means of reducing over-population. But it hasn't worked that way, even in Communist China, where famine and pestilence have helped war kill people off and so somewhat restrict population growth;

Ten years ago we read how the Swedes have lived well through the war on "oceans of milk" from cows that were fed on proteins made from wood. That process has been steadily improved. There are many other processes that promise increased use of the forests to supply food and clothing for which the raw material is now principally grown on acreage classified as "crop land."

If the world has too many people, it also has too many trees. In the United States latest surveys show that growth exceeds harvest. The last credible report from the Soviet Union tells that annual grou'th in Siberian forests is eight times annual cut. Then, too many trees yet bar exploration from vast areas of the earth. Those trees may feed people.

Our

Own "Food Forest ."

The United States has around 550 million acres of crop land and 489 million acres of commercial forest lancl. Our government and the general public still do not v:rlue the nation's iorest acreage enough to jail the moror.rs and arsonists u'ho cause the burnir.rg of millions of acres a year. \\Ie sti1l think of thc forest as simply i! s()urce <if lumlrer,:rnrl 'lrrn-rber is lookecl orr as the most of :inything r';Llrutble ir-r nsc that a dollar u'ill lruv nou'aclavs.

And science will produce pine pap and fir gruel for the babies, hemlock steaks for the men, and spruce salads and tea for the ladies. Come and get it !
