The People

Based on a one-month trip to northeast China in June of 1983 and on recent articles by returned travellers, a brief survey of afforestation, reforestation and amenity plantings is presented. The diversity of trees and of the flora in general far exceeds that of Canada and the United States, though several thousand years of use has drastically reduced the native cover. China's problems of forest reconstitution and forest management are formidable compared with those of North America. Nevertheless, the drive and determination of the people to green up the country again with trees is an inspiration to all who value forests. Key Words: Reforestation, afforestation, amenity planting, forest geography, forest ecology, People's Republic of China, Manchuria, Jilin Province.

Trade War

This article is dedicated to analysis of the concept of Trade War in Chinese and American linguocultures. The initial position of the research is the thesis on unavoidable conceptualization of the objects and phenomena of the surrounding world in language, and possibility of their studying by means of conceptual analysis. The subject of this research is the specificity of representation of the concept of Trade War in media discourse in Chinese and English languages. Special attention is given to the semantic core of the concept and its speech representation in the news materials. The research methodology is based on a two-stage conceptual analysis. The first stage implies the analysis of core of the concept by means of definitional and etymological analysis of representative word; while the second stage marks quantitative and qualitative content analysis for determination of similarities and differences in peripheral meaning of the concept. The main theoretical conclusion consists in substantiation of using content analysis for determination of specificity of speech representation of media concepts. The practical result of this research lies in identification of significant differences in the concept under consideration in two linguistic cultures: Chinese media texts review Trade War primarily as a “struggle to gain economic profit”; and the US media view it as a “competition in trade industry”. The formulated conclusions largely correlate with the peculiarities of mentality of the residents of People’s Republic of China and the United States.

Damage Estimates

Isolated infestations of the eastern larch beetle, Dendroctonus simplex LeConte, have been reported in North America for over 100 years. Historically, this species has been considered a secondary pest of tamarack, Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch, infesting only weakened or recently felled host material. However, recent widespread outbreaks of this bark beetle in northeastern North America and Alaska suggest that the species can be a primary killer of trees. More than 1.4 million m3 of tamarack was killed in the Atlantic provinces of Canada from 1976 to 1986. No damage estimates are available for Quebec and the United States. Fire, flooding, drought and defoliation by insects are often important agents predisposing tamarack to beetle attack and fostering localized build-up of D. simplex populations which then spread to healthy stands resulting in a widespread outbreak. Key Words: Dendroctonus simplex, bark beetle, outbreaks, damage appraisal, predisposing agents, tamarack.

In his presentation, the author discusses the events that occurred in the summer and fall of 2021, which may have an impact on the nuclear policy of the People's Republic of China and generate a response from the United States and consequences for arms control. The paper considers the discovery of new silo fields in China and the supposed test the PRC of a fractional orbital bombardment system with a hypersonic glide vehicle by the PRC. The speaker concludes that these changes are largely a consequence of the US nuclear policy and are likely to provoke a new round of the arms race and have a negative impact on the prospects for nuclear disarmament.

The Impact

This article comes from a concern about the impact of the market system on Quebec's forest sector. Comparisons between Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States and Quebec allow a clear picture of the situation. It is shown that the new Quebec forest system could bring elements of solution. This system has to deal with the problem of an oversized public domain and with the tack of economical foundation for the forest management program it promotes. Key words: Forest allotment, public domain, stumpage

Sarcoleotia globosa (Sommerf.: Fr.) Korf is an ascomycete characterized by stipitate ascomata with a convex apothecium, deep brown to black hymenial surface, greyish brown stipe, and hyaline, clavate, non- to multi-septate ascospores. Collections of S. globosa from Oregon, Washington, and Colorado, United States are reported. Its distribution in North America is extended from previously reported subarctic to arctic regions nearly 2500 km south to the cool temperate zones. Possible association of S. globosa with site disturbance, open plant communities, and bryophytes is discussed. Key words: Sarcoleotia globosa, distribution, ecology, Leotiales, fungi.

This chapter is the first of three that show how each country of North America embraced continental free trade. All three chapters describe key decisions and investigate whether there is evidence consistent with the liberal literature’s expectation that those decisions were strongly influenced by public preferences for free trade, as opposed to the agendas of economic elites. These three chapters also describe the motives, thinking, and actions of the people who made globalization happen in each country. This chapter begins with Canada and shows that while prominent economists and some public officials long favored free trade with the United States, key business groups—particularly manufacturers—were hostile. The views of Canadian business rapidly reversed themselves in the early 1980s, however, and after that the state’s position soon changed too. Business subsequently promoted free trade and ensured its political feasibility in a contentious national election in 1988.

Ancient People

For many years the people of Maine, parts of New England, and the Maritime Provinces have been told that an ancient group of Indians lived in the northeastern part of the United States and later moved into New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. These ancient people have been called the Pre-Algonquian Group, The Red Paint People of Maine, and the Beothuk of Newfoundland, by various archaeologists who have excavated their graves.These archaeologists have come to the conclusion that the graves represent a very old group of Indians, but they have not agreed on who they were, where they came from, or where they went. Mr. Charles C. Willoughby shows the distribution of the pre-Algonquian culture as covering all that portion of North America east of the Great Lakes, along the Saint Lawrence River and as far south as the tip of New Jersey.

Late Nineteenth

The movement for imperial federation has traditionally been regarded as a late nineteenth century phenomenon, which grew out of a supposed reaction against earlier ‘anti-imperialism’. J. E. Tyler set out to trace its growth ‘from its first beginnings… in and around 1868’. Historians were aware of the suggestions made before the American War of Independence that the colonies should send M.P.s to Westminster, but tended to dismiss them as of antiquarian rather than historical interest. A few also noted apparently isolated discussions of some Empire federal connexion in the first half of the nineteenth century, but no attempt was made to establish the existence of a continuous sentiment before 1870. C. A. Bodelsen did no more than list a series of examples he had discovered in the supposed age of anti-imperialism. In fact between 1820 and 1870 a debate about the federal nature of the Empire can be traced. Like the movement for imperial federation after 1870, there was only the vaguest unity of aim about the mid-century projects, and before 1870, as after, the idea was never consistently to the fore, but enjoyed short bursts of popularity. It is, however, fair to think of one single movement for a federal Empire throughout the nineteenth century. There is a clear continuity in ideas, in arguments, and in the people involved. Ideas of Empire federalism were influential, not so much for themselves as for their relationship to overall imperial thinking: to ignore the undercurrent of feeling for a united Empire is to distort the attitudes of many leading men. In the mid-nineteenth century general principles of imperial parliamentary union were argued chiefly from the particular case of British North America, the closest colonies to Britain and the most constitutionally advanced. This Canadian emphasis strengthened the analogies with the United States which occurred in any case.
