Walter James Penn, editorof the Taranaki Herald (daily)and the Budget (weekly i, pub-lished at New Plymouth, thechief town and port of Tara-naki, New Zealand, is a nativeof Worcestershire, in New Zealand in1882, he spent about 3 years ingaining colonial experience invaried occupations. He joinedthe commercial staff of theTaranaki Herald in 1885, andten years later was appointededitor, which position he stillholds. The Herald was estab-lished on August 4th, establishing fire protection systems, by building reservoirs athead waters, and by certain regulations as to the cutting of trees. About ten years ago the Governments of Ontario, Quebecand New Brunswick amended the regulations covering leases ofCrown Lands so as to prohibit the export of pulpwood cut onsuch lands except in the form of pulp and paper. Up to thattime Canadas exports of pulpwood to United States hadgreatly exceeded her exports of pulp and paper to that 1908 for example the exports of pulpwood were 900,000cords, while the pulp and paper exported to United Statesrepresented only 250,000 cords of pulpwood. Since then thesituation has been reversed until in the last fiscal year the ex-ports of pulpwood were 840,000 cords, while the pulp and paperexported to that country represented over 2,000,000 cords. These various factors contributed to a rapid developmentand expansion of the Canadian Newsprint Industry. Produc-tion increased from 150,000 ton
