Referring to the report of the COM

dent says:
the commissioner finds q condl-
ton in the ownership Of the standing
timber OF the United States other
than the government timber that calls
for serious attention. The direct in
vestigation made by the commissioner
covered an area which contains so
per cent of the privately-owned tim
Der Of the country.
His report shows that one half of
the timber in this area Ia owned by
200 individuals and corporations;
that "A per cent Is owned by these
corporations, and that there is very
extensive inter-ownership of stock,
as well as other circumstances, all
pointing to friendly relations among
those who own a majority Of this tim
ber, relationship which might lead
to a combination for the maintenance
Of a price that would be very detri-
