ruptures are emanating from out the

by the observers of affairs that the
success of the present meeting but
presages the calling of other and
perfecting conferences.

pursuing its own advantage in its own
way; which, if true, is worth remem-
bering.
There are too many "ifs" between
the Smell bill and an end to forest
devastation. Clearly, it offers nothing
more than a distant possibility of re-
lief, with no assurance that any State
would ever conform to the conditions
it proposes. It/leaves Pennsylvania
and the other timber importing states
wholly at the mercy of the legislatures
of the Pacific Coast States.
q, The fact is that the business of the
timberland owners is National in the
full sense of the word; that like other
great Nationwide monopolistic bust
nesses, it is beyond effective State
control; that National control is the
only control the big timberland hold
ers fear; and that for them State con.
troll means no control at all.
The Smell bill grew out of a plan
for public control advanced by Colonel
Graves while he was head of the U. S.
Forest Service. At that time it was
vigorously opposed by the great tim
berland holders. Later these interests
saw that it could be used by them to
their own advantage. The Smell bill,
therefore, has behind it the interested
support of the lumbermen and the sim
cere, but | believe mistaken, backing
of the present head of the Forest Ser
vice, who himself admits the superior
effectiveness of Federal control. but
doubts that it can be secured (Which
l do not).
1t has also the support of Mr.. Ell
bert H. Baker, Chairman of the Com
mittee on National Forest Resources
of the A. N. P. A. Mr.. Bakers letter
of January 22nd in support of the
Smell bill fails to describe the provis-
ions of the bill, as a reading of the
copy he sent you will show, and is
mistaken as to the Capper bill The
latter was not prepared by me, but by
a committee of the Society of Ameri-
can Foresters, and it emphatically
does not undertake to have the Gov
eminent take over all standing timber
of every sort and kind" What it
does propose is such an effective Ma
tional control over the lumber monop-
olists as will prevent them from con-
tinuing to destroy the productive ca
pacity of their forest lands; and this
is right.
| regret most deeply the necessity
for opposing any plan supported by
Colonel Greeley, the present Chief Of
Forest Service in Washington, and by
Mr.. Baker, but l cannot remain silent
when a mistake, however welI-meant.
threatens to bring upon the Nation
the very serious punishment Of a TIM
Der shortage aggravated by an in
crcasing monopoly of standing timber.
That is my reason for this letter.
