IRISH FORESTRYVOLUME IX. SUMMER, 1952. NUMBER 1.AN INTERNATIONAL VIEW ON FORESTRYBy D. Roy CAMERON.I NEED not say how glad I am to be back. Anyone who ever visitsIreland, has opportunity to make friends with its delightful people.partakes of their boundless, if sometimes overwhelming, hospitality, andfeasts his eyes on the charm of its countryside, always has a longing toreturn.I am particularly happy to be here under my present informalcircumstances, but I have the assurance of the authorities that I amwelcome to speak to you in an unofficial capacity. So far as F AO isconcerned, I am not on an official mission. I speak for myself only andcan give you informally my own impressions and observations followingnearly five years of service with an international organisation.I feel, however, I should start by telling you something about theorganisation for which I work. F AO was the first internationalorganisation. It is dt:dicated to improving the standards of living ofthe world as the only sure road to enduring peace. Food is theprimordial need of man. The complement of food is shelter, andthroughout the ages, forests have provided the raw materials by whichman houses himself and his family.F AO is the international agency responsible for forestry matters andthe Forestry Division is FAO's tool to implement that responsipjlity.Therefore the task of the Forestry Division is to assist governments insupplying the peoples of the world with what they need in wood andwood products in their progress to a higher standard of living. Asidefrom soil conservation and other indirect functions this is the target.The art and science of forestry, the opening up of new areas, reforestation,technological and engineering improvements in processing. are all buta means to one end.To meet this target, the Forestry Division must know two things:1. Actual present and 'potential future needs for forest products;2. The possibilities of the world's forests for meeting these needs.
