They consumne wood products at a rate that is only about se- yen percent of the world's average. Still, there is a growing den-and for wood products for housing and other uses, so China wants to increase production of particleboard made of low-grade woods and wvaste plant materials. But the whole industry has corne unstuck because of shortages and the high cost of petroleum-based resins used- as binders to turn particles into boards. In Canada, experiments using the waste sulfite liq- uor f rom papermilis as a wood adhesive have shown promisîng resuits. With a grant f rom Canada's Inter- national Deveiopment Re- search Centre, scientists from the Research Institute. of Chemnical Processîng and L.tiization of Forest Pro- ducts in Nanjing will work with Canadian forestry scientists to see if the pro- cess can be adaPted to the sorts of woody materials and milIl iquors available in China.

Roger fiOrih Canadians are a short two year.s away from 1984, flhe year author George Orwell predicted we would becomie a society of well-mii-niaged. robots, generally following governmIent policies sup- posýedly enacted for our ownl good. There would be litle roomn for dissent. In a lot ofwas this society by the rnmbers already exists.

Quite niaturally, a lot of' People are uipsetibeca)use for every ovrunment intrusion into our afis there i's a con- sequenti erosion of our free- dlomn of choice. The latest inrvention in thelie of Canadians is Ot- tawva's plan to crack dowýn on the press, usingl a carrot and stick approach to overcomie what goverrnment perceives as problemns in the media. As a start, Ottawva is about to restrict the niation's two major niewspaper chains from buigmore ne-wspapers. White the government mnay in- deed be correct in its assumnp- tion that the chains are restrict- ing competition, surely, that issue cani be tackled with pres- ent or proposed competition legislation, rather than .a special piece of legislation. The problemn with special legislation is that Ottawa ap- pears to be trying to exert con- trol over somiething delicate, indefinable and fragile; yet fundamental to our way of lifé: freedom of thec press. The government wýants to set up press councils, and the new legislation will offer millions of' dollars to help some newspapers better cover national and international evenlts. The problemn, of' course, is; that f'or the first time,- Ottawýa will have a real handle on new,pap)er owners. In turn, this could mnarkedly affect the heahy dvrsryreltioniship between press andgve- ment that has served us, so well.
