Destructive Outline
For War Needs Seen
|mperi|ing Forests
Report Asks Protection
Of Resources for Soke
Of Future Generations
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Forest Service declared yes
terday that the future productivity
of the Nations forests is being I'M
dermined by destructive cutting to
meet wartime needs for wood and
forestry materials.
In a report to the Agriculture De-
partment, Acting Chief Earle H
Clapp urged action to protect for
estry resources for the safe of future
generations.
Developments in the first year
OF the war;" he said, bring into
focus the inadequacy of the Nations
present forestry effort and the
threat to, the security of rural peo-
pie throughout our forest regions
which is inherent in the current
situation"
While agreeing that it was neces-
sary to supply war requirements for
lumber, the forestry chief said that
needs could be met if the forestry
industry followed recommended cut
ting and restoration practices.
Our tolerance of destructive
liquidation over the years" Mr.
Clapp said, means that we nc
longer have abundant saw-timbeI
supplies accessible throughout the
country. We now have to search
out isolated remnants of timber fol
specially uses. For timber of high
quality we have to depend alto.
gether too heavily on the remaining
virgin stands on the Pacific Coast
This involves long and costly haul.
to industrial centers at time wher
transportation facilities are already
severely taxed"
Mr.. Clapp asserted that some for
est industries were promoting the
idea that the supply of timber i.
abundant. Their claims, he said
had confused the people.
A proper conservation program
he said, would include public regu.
lation of cutting practices, and pub.
lie aid to private owners in protect.
ing forests against fire, insects ane
disease.
