When the present gov- ernment decided that, commencing with the lst of April, i932. the salaries of all officials of the government should be reduced by ten per cent, it was not intended. of course, that the reduction should lDDlly to the present representive of the sovereign. The Governor General is to big a man, however. to take his full salary when every- one else in the country's service had to submit to the cut. lord Bessborough, therefore, wrote a‘ let- ter to the Prime Minister stating that he did not desire any exception to be made in his favor, and al- though Mr. Bennett demurred. the Governor General was insistent, so that for eaoh of the past two years his salary has been reduced by $4.886. In the confederation resolutions adopted in Inndon in December 1866 the salary of the Governor General is not speclf ed, although it was discused and a general agreement reached by the delegates.

To some of the narrow gauge politicians who were elected to the first Parliament oi’ Canada this salary looked a colossal sum. It was not long before these gentle- men sought to cnystalize their views into something definite. A bill was introduced into Parlia- ment at the f'rst sessidh after Con- federation to reduce the salary of the Governor General from 10,000 pounds to 6.500 pounds. Sir John Macdonald strongly opposed the bill on the ground that it would be interperted in England as indicating that Canada. did not realize the position in which she was placed. In the connection he instanwd several ocionies, Dominion in size and importance. which paid their governors more handsomely than Canada proposed to do under this bill. Sir John insis- ted that 10.000 pounds was re- quired adequately to maintain the dimity of the offce of Governor inferior to the detrimental to the interests of Canada.

"The first users of the forest cared little for its timber," he pointed out.

The professor gave the opinion the main trouble was that in the past the woods had not been man- aged with a view to natural regen- eration;_ under light increment treatment, the more open cancqoy and crown room enables the trees to respond almost immediately to the influence of the seed felling. Trees Hinder Floods Although it had not been decided whether forests increase rainfall or not. it could be claimed the forest is of great importance as a con- servator of water and as an equal- izer ‘n the drainage o1 the land.
