Congressman Sinnot. in a statement
given out at Washington and publish
ed in the Oregon journal yesterday
admits his land leasing resolution is
faulty and should be changed. He
Gays he introduced the measure att the
request of Secretary Fall of the inter
ior department.. He makes no eXpla
nation however as to why his resolu-
tion calls for irrevocable leases or why
it calls for handling the unresefved
lands through the land office politi-
clans instead~of by the forestry SER
vice, these being the two chief points
on which the resolution is criticised.
In his statement Sinnott said:
Il introduced the bill as tentative
bill In the house In July, 1921. at the
request of Secretary Fall. Senator
Smoot. chairman of the public lands
committee of the senate, introduced il
there. 1t is the custom for chairmen
of committees to introduce tentative
bills on the request of cabinet officers

lie lands outside of the national for
csts which are fit only for grazing and
now under the jurisdiction of the sec
retary of the interior 1t provides for
grazing areas, taking into considera
tion existing grazing use now being
made by citizens OF the United States.
Secretary Fall requested introdnc-'
tion of this bill, which the secretary
termed a tentative measure, because
as he wrote, a great many bills have
been introduced TO add such non-tim-
bered public lands to national forests
under the jurisdiction of the secre-
tary of agriculture in order to secure
regulated grazing. Secretary Fall
wrote that the laws authorizipg the
creation and maintenance Of national
forests do not contemplate the inc)p-
