Wilson is having trouble as result OF the

Forester is so closely associated there is
being stirred I'D an opposition to Secretary
Wilson's recent order eliminating from the
forest reserve lands chiefly valuable for
grazing purposes. and MIR. Wilson has sent
out an explanation showing that the lands
which il is proposed TO eliminate are neither
forested now nor regarded as suitable for
the future growing of trees" and. there
fore, the government has no authority
TO hold them as parts Of the national
forests after their actual character has
been determined" The Secretary empha-
sizes the fact that there IS no authority
In law by which he can include in forest

and says that the fear that through the
destruction of the forest cover the water
supply will be jeopardzed is not well found

the borders of the national, forests, and
that wherever there is growth of trees
the land will not be eliminated. Mr. Wilson

from the Treasury Department information
which viii show that the existence Of the

To me 1t is astounding that nothing was
ever heard Of this report until nine
