RESOLUTION To
REVIVE FINANCE
BUREAU ADOPTED
Measure Passes the House
and Now Goes to Confer
enCe for Adjustment With
the Senate Proposal.

Washington, Dec. is tine sem
ate resolution to revive the war
finance corporation as a measure
of relief for farmers was adopted
by the house late today in amended
form by a vote of 212 to 81. 1t now
goes to conference for adjustment
with the senate measure.
The house struck out section two
of the senate resolution stating the
opinion of congress that federal
reserve banks should allow liberal
credits to farmers,
The final vote came after five
hours of debate, Chairman McFad-
den, of the banking committee,
leading the opposition. He char
acterized it as class legislation
which would lead to initiation and
charged its proponents had deluded
the farmers into believing it would
help them.
"The farmers have been dec
ceived," he said. "They have been
told this resolution will help them.
No advance to farmers has been
made by the corporation for more
than a year and could not be au-
thorized under this measure. In
stead, the corporation has made
loans to such institutions as the
International Harvester, the Beth
lehem and the Baldwin Locomotive
works"
Representative Mondell, Wyom-
ing, majority leader, said the bot
tom had fallen out of business be-
cause private institutions had not
been able to extend the required
relief. Revival Of the finance cor
poratlOn would hold the situation
and could not have a harmful eff

Representative Stevenson, demo-
crat, South Carolina, denied that
the measure was class legislation.
Representative McFadden said
the project was nothing else than
putting the hand in the public
treasury for the benefit of special
interests"

ing no saw timber; 81 100000 acres
of this have been completely de
vastated by forest fires and meth
DDS of cutting which destroy or pre-
vent new timber growth. The area
of idle or largely idle land is be-
ing increased by from 100000 to
100000 Sacres annually as the
cutting and burning OF forests con-
tinue.
ITO stop the devastation and put
idle lands to work the first step
must be the enactment of a federal
law whose two chief provisions are
Cd a comprehensive plan of fed
eral cooperation with the states
in fire prevention and the develop
ment of forestry practice, and CD
extension of the national forests
through purchases, through the in
clusion of other timber lands now
in federal ownership, and through
exchange"
Speaking of a national forestry
policy, Mr.. Greeley said the pro-
gram laid down by Colonel Graves
had been further developed.
This program" he said rs
based on the conviction that the
problem of hating forest devasta-
ton is fundamentally a national.
not a local, problem, and must be
faced and handled as such. At the
same time it is felt that the speed
lest, surest, and most equitable ac-
ton can be secured through de-
pendence on the police powers of
the states for the enforcement of
such reasonable requirements as
should be made of private owners
and on the state governments for
providing organized protection of
, private lands against fire.
Problem Is Natfonaf.
because the problem itself is
essentially national-that is, one
affecting the public welfare Of the
entire country and requiring to he
attacked as whole, not piecemeal
both federal leadership and a
large measure Of federal aid are
obligatory 1t should be obligatory
upon private owners to apply the
safeguards necessary to prevent de-
vastation. There is practical
unanimity Of agreement that the
first and most essential step is a
nationwide protection from forest
fires applicable to all classes of
forest land and borne jointly by
the land owner and the public"

FORESTS EAST OF ROCKIES ARE
Being DEVASTATED BY CUTTING
AND BURNING, FORESTER STATES
Nation Soon Will Have to Depend on the
Pacific Coast Woods for the Bulk of Its Con-
struction Lumber; Urges Legislation to Deal
/ With Matter; Replacement Needed.
tBY THE ASSOCIATED pREssl

Washington, Dec. lS,-Forests
east of the Rocky mountains are
being devastated so rapidly by cut
ting and burning that the nation
soon will be dependent for the
bulk of it's construction lumber
upon the forests of the Pacific
coast, william B, Greeley. United
States forester, declares in his an
nual report made public today.
The situation, Mr.. Greeley says,
is one that affects the public well
fare of the entire country and he
urges a federal law to stop the de-
vastation of the remaining forests
and to put the idle forest lands at
work.
"Two-thirds of, the original for
ests of the United States have been
culled, cut over, or burnt, and
three fifths of their merchantable
timber is gone" said Mr.. Greenley.
1.-THE country is taking about &c.
100000 cubic feet of wood annually
from its forests and is growing
about 100000 cubic feet. We are
cutting timber of every class, even
trees too small for the sawmill,
much faster than they are being re-
placed in forests. There are still
large quantities of timber in the
United States. But they are not in
the right place. SiXty-one per cent
Of what is left lies west of the
Great Plains, far from the bulk of
our population, agriculture and
manufactures The exhaustion of
one forested section after another
in the eastern states has been re-
Elected in rising transportation
costs. The distance between the
average sawmill and the average
home builder is steadily increasing;
and we shall soon be dependent for
the bulk of our construction lum-
Der upon the forests of the Pacific
coast. These conditions have had %
vital bearing upon the high cost
of lumber, which, during the year
reached a prohibitive figure for
many uses and checked the build
ing Of homes which is urgently
needed.
Idle Forest Land.
I'VE have used up our forests
without growing new ones. At the
bottom of the whole problem is
idle forest land. The United States
contains 326,000,000 acres of cut
