We have many national parks, but
all save one are in the west. and
that one is too small and too isolated
to count for much.
A national park IN the Smoky
Mountains would not only be within
easy reach Of a majority of the
American people, but It would create
a forest preserve which Is necessary
to maintain valuable water powers.
AS matter of tradition, the Gov
eminent buys no parks, but will i'm
prove such as are given II either by
States. communities or private inter
ests. The Government has agreedy to
accept the Smoky Mountain Park.
