FORESTS AND WATERWAYS

There IL an indissoluble connection
between forests and waterways. These
two great questions can not be sep
arated. Clifford Pinchot says: Now
II, instead OF isolated groups of men
working here, there. and everywhere
at isolated problems" II all should
move forward together steadily and
vigorously as single body. to the
attack of what We are beginning Ia
see as a single problem, then no
amount of opposition, no amount of
Indifference will serve either to stop
or greatly to retsrd the progress "
That idea of united action along the
lines of n single comprehensive plan
seems to me to be the most fertile. the
most promising. AS will surely be the
most productive thought that has
come into this field In many years,
We, the present people of the United
States, are today the fathers of that
United States which shall be In fifty
or a hundred years to come. Shall
We hand down our prosperity to those
who come after us. or shall we dis
count their prosperity and destroy IL
now?
ANY broad and comprehensive sys
TEN of waterway improvement must
include forest preservation.
