WARNING ON FOREST RUIN
CONTINUED from page y

ton which has made them rich while
1t has brought the United States face
to face with poverty in forest sup
plies. Knowing this, the timberland
owners are not only supporting the
bill, but are spending considerable
sums OF money to bring other to sup
port it also.
They ask us to believe they are
supporting the Smell bill because they
want to be controlled. If so, here IS
"a monopolistic special interest active
ly working to get itself prevented
from pursuing its own advantage II
its own way; which, if true, is worth
remembering.
There are too many ifs" between
the Snan bill and an end to forest
devastation. Clearly, if offers noth-
ing more Than a distant possibility OF
relief, with no assurance that any
ctate would ever conform to the col
ditions it proposes. It leaves Penn
syIvania and the other timber import
ing states wholly at the mercy OF the
legislatures Of the Pacific coast
The fact is that the business Of the
timberland owners is national in the
full sense Of the word; that like other
great nationwide monopoltistic bust
nesses, it is beyond effective state
control; that national control is the
only control the big timberland hold
ers fear; ard that for the state control
means no control at all
The Smell bill grew out Of a plan
for public control advanced by Col
onel Graves while he was head Of the
United States forest service. At that
time it was vigorously opposed by the
great timberland holders. Later these
interests saw that it could be used by
them to their own advantage. The
Smell bill, therefore, has behind i
the interested support Of the lumber
men, and the sincere, but | believe
mistaken, backing Of the present heat
of the forest service, who himself ad
mits the superior effectiveness Of fed
