Ne1C Forester Doubts 1t Is
Due to DenudatiOn.
TFr,m rhe tribune Bureau.

Washington. Jan. 29-Henry S
Graves. the new Forester, is not inclined
to place the entire responsibility for the
Paris food on the denudatiOn of the
French forests. Although he made it
clear TO The Tribune correspondent that
ne is not familiar with the conditions
which prevail around Paris, nor with the
state of the weather in the last few
weeks, he expressed the belief that the
foods were most unusual and that they
could hardly be attributed TO the waste
of forest areas
There is little doubt" said Mr.
Graves. that denudation of the forests
causes what we call 'run-offs I have
no accurate knowledge of the climatic
or other conditions in France during the
last few weeks but am inclined TO the
opinion that the food would have come
even if the forests had been allowed to
stand There were severe floods before
the cutting of tree was thought of, and
although I do not approve of the prac-
tice 1 believe that il is straining a point
10 place the responsibility for the present
frightful condition on denudation'
