Old "Iron Ring" Battle.
This is an old battle-the effort
to crack the iron ring around Mr..
Truman. A year ago Mrs. Roose-
welt tactfully indicated to the White
House some Of the ways the chan

trends were kept open to +. D. r.
On other occasions, tentative at
tempts were made to introduce the
counsels Of B. NJ. Baruch. These
failures have been attributed to
the Presidents military aide, Mai.
Gen. Harry Vaughan, among others.
Anyway, nothing happened and
the kitchen cabinet reigns as Is.
There is evidence In the recent
record to indicate that the Presi-
dent has gone some way to meet
the suggestions being made to him.
His messages were certainly hts own.
He gave cue Of mo tax cuts but

He has already indicated to

honestly to feel that the President
has adequate political Judgment:
that all he needs to do to recatcn
the mood of the people as he did
in his first 80 days after Franklin
Roosevelt's death Is to act upon 1t.
At least, all this has the charm
of loyalty and constitutes "a refresh
ing change from the defeatism
which has prevailed in party circles
and left the National Committee
comatose. Discussion of that purely
political aspect is lodged by the
Presidential circle as not their

First, however, the report of the

Guiding national forests, The per-
centage of good cutting is higher
but, it is far from 100 per cent
good.
The worst Of the waste is charged
against the farmers and other small
owners who have more than three
quarters of all the forest land. The
great timber corporations have come
nearer learning their lesson, appar-

to be as wasteful as the little fel-
lows. .-..
. The fearsome fact. is, according to
the Forest Service, that the Nation
now has 43 per cent less standing
timber than it had in 1909. The
depletion since 1888 has amounted
to 8 per cent. This in the face OF q
greatly expanding housing program
and an ever expanding publishing
industry.

signed to bring the forest problem
