Excerpt from Forestry in the United Kingdom Experience in India convinced me that, if systematic, economic forestry were to become an enduring thing in India and in the colonies, it would be necessary to make it SO in the mother country. When forestry in Britain has Once become an essential part of the industry based upon the soil, those who go out to govern the British possessions beyond the seas will be duly impressed by its importance. They will bring to their spheres of action a sympathetic understanding of the business, which will go a long way to prevent any oscillating policy, that otherwise might threaten to interfere with the progress of forest management. Continuity of action will then become the order Of the day, without which no industry can flourish, whatever its name or nature may be and least of all forestry, the produce of which frequently requires a century and more to mature.
