In other words, if English waste lands were fully afforested, the capital value would be about 200 millions. The capital value of German State forests alone is 900 millions sterling.* Further, the loss to the country is enormously greater, if the employment which would be provided in the production of home- grown timber is taken into account As in Germany, a population of well paid and hardy forest workers would be maintained in the State forests free of cost to the nation, available for milita...ry service, equivalent to the entire present British army, which costs the country 30 millions annually, and in peace-time can perform no productive labour, f Thus, if British statesmen were to take up the matter of re-afforesting on the same lines as the State forests of Germany, the money invested by the State (say 1 million annually for the first thirty-five years, after which the forests would begin to pay) would become a source of certain and ever-increasing profit to the State, and also save the taxpayer vast sums, and solve the great problems of rural population and army organization.
