Abstract
IT is rather illuminating to realize that some of our English characteristics are just as strong in a Dominion. The 'hands off the New Forest' controversy when the Forestry Commission suggested undertaking certain operations will be remembered. Beauty spots in that region or elsewhere in Great Britain may chiefly depend upon the presence of a clump or block of old trees—very beautiful things. The argument is that it would be desecration to touch them. Since the trees will not stand for ever, this means that our children or grandchildren will never see that particular beauty spot.
