Present Century Canada's Rideau Hall Again
Golden Age . of Opportunity To Be Scene of Birth
Thirty years is commonly regarded
as being the length of one generation,
and it is more than probable that
Canadians will some day look hack up-
on the last generation—the first thirty
years of: this century—as the golden
age'of expansion• in Canadian forest
industry. It would be almost too mucb
to expect that the Dominion, should in
any future generation repeat, or even
approach, the growth that has taken
place since 1900 in the, export of forest
products. If the present trade can be
maintained, that in itself will be a real
achievement,.
During the first ten years of this
century Canada's exports of wood,
