The United States are waking up to the fact that Canada is fully compet- ent to conserve her natural resources for the use of her own people. Titne was when popular opinion in the United States 'ended to regard Jack Canuck as a hewer of wotel end a drawer of water for Uncle Sem. Hut certain expressions of opinion of a contrary sort that are now continnelly cropping up in the United '\States press show that this attitude townrds Canada is fast giving way. Here is e sample from the editorial columnf, of the American Forestry Journal : "Canada is measuring her timber resources and preparing to protect them by progressive and tdvnstic measures against exploitation for the behefit of wasteful foreign cmrntriee. including her • next-door neighbor. We cannot look to the north for oar salvation. We must hu..bend all out remaining resources and plant tree', wherever they can he grown more profitably than other crops, in order that our own future may he assured This it the only way. Canada hen not the resources for her own needs and ours too, and she in sufficiently wide awake and intelligent ,to guard her own. The only way that our timber resources and Canada's can he made inexhaustible is by the application of the highest scientific knowledge and the broadest common sense." St. Peter's Joke.
