Abstract
OF the making of plans there is no end, but the White Paper on Post-War Forest Policy* deserves study for a number of reasons. It is of intrinsic national importance ; it will affect the pattern of the countryside of Great Britain, particularly in those regions where the landscape is not dominated by hedgerow and wayside trees ; while the proposals constitute an interesting example of the development of an industry directed and to a considerable extent financed by the State, but making provision for private enterprise. Moreover, the White Paper gives a summary of the work of the Forestry Commission since it was set up in 1919. It is clear that, within the limitations of policy and finance imposed on it, it has done good work arid deserves appreciation from the public.
