THE FOREST SERVICE-HALF A
 CENTURY OLD

Southeast Alaska is forestry minded Being largely
 National Forest residents of this section directly affected by the policies and activities of the Forest Service It with than passing interest there fore, that reviewed the Annual Report of Chief Lyle F Watts for the year l948 report that observes the 5Oth anniversary of Forest Service activities
 The Forest Service, of the Governments "old line agencies, certainly has job on its hands. It is little more than half century since Congress passed the law under which the 152 National Forests are managed by the Forest Service for the benefit of the people of the United States Says Chief Watts Our national forest system is in many ways the finest forest system in the world It has been and will continue be the very foundation which scientific forestry-forest conservaton-in America is based"
 Somehow had the impression that the bulk of the nations timber in public ownership. The report says otherwise. Although the National Forests now have 30 per cent of the sawtmber volume, they only 16 per cent of the countrys 100000 acres of commercial forest land growing demand

for National Forest timber evidence that the public forests will play increasingly important part in the Nations economy. Watts pointed out that the 3800- 000O board feet of timber cut on the National Forests last year three times the cut of 250 100000 board feet Many sawmils that formerly had supplies of private timber wholly depend ent on national forest timber to keep going
 This brings us closer to home. Our local sawmlls have always been this category and have done quite we'll The recent sale of 1t2 billion cubic feet of timber to the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper Co, the frution of 30 years of effort on the part of the Forest Service will provide stable major industry with year-rolind operation and employment, some- thing which Alaska has always needed and must have if it is to expand it's economy sound and secure basis.
 All of Southeast Aaskas huge pup-timber supply, the largest untapped resource of its kind on the continent is in public ownership under the able administration of Regional Forester B. Frank Hentzle-
 man and his staff most of whom resident Alaskans of long standing They experienced foresters and have the interests of the Territory at heart The combination of professional knowledge and sympathetic understanding of local needs argues well for bright economic future in this section Chief Watts can be proud of his Alaska group and their work, and the Forest Services 50th anniversary.

FoRREsTAL CALLS MEETING

The meeting was called at the instance of Secretary Forrestal He had the session well organized. Doing little talking himself, he called on various experts, the most important being George Kennan, the State Departments chief Rus sian expert. Kennan is the famous MT. x who devised the State De- pertinent. policy of Surrounding Russia with a ring of anti Con- munist nations.
 This time, however, Kennan talked about an economic agree ment" with Russia to promote world peace through better trade relations.
 Kennan didn't specify the form of the agreement, except to say that Russia greatly needed Ameri- can goods, because of production deficiencies behind the iron cur tain, and probably would be willing to do business. Nor would the State Department official guarantee suc- cess of the agreement on a long, time scale.
 A permanent agreement with Russia outside the framework oi the United Nations, for trade oI other purposes, would have little chance of success. But when Rus sia needs something, her leaders are practical enough to forget their animosities until the need is fulfilled. On our part, he added, a trade agreement with Russia, ever of temporary character, would be 8 step in the direction of continuing world peace.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-01-31
RUSSIA UNPREPARED
 FOR WAR

The State Department still is convinced that Russia is not pre- pared for an armed war against the United States. She is not ready now and will not be ready in the forseeable future to cope with our vast military production in event of war, Kennan told the Congressmen.
 Best intelligence we have is that Russia won't have any appreciable production of atomic bombs until 1851, Kennan reported, and by that time we will make Russia s production of the bomb seem in- finitesimal.
 However, he stressed that war could break out in Europe, even though Russia is not planning on one.
 For this reason, Kennan said, it was highly urgent that we ex- pedite action on the proposed Alt lsntic Pact, both to implement the Marshall Plan and to give West
