National Forest Receipts Set New Record Lor Angeles County to Get 131000

reached an all-time high of $10,056448 in the fiscal year ending June 3O, 1943, according to Lyle F. Watts, chief of the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. This amount is three million dollars greater than last year's figures which broke all previous records. The gain reflects the increasing contribution to the war made by 160 national forests located in 40 states and Alaska and Puerto Rico, according to the Chief Forester.

Timber sales, which have been stepped up materiallv to meet the demand for wood for war uses, accounted for $7,537,ffi7 of the total. Next in importance were returns from grazing fees on 10 million head of livestock, mostly in the western states, producing meat, wool and leathet for the armed forces and civilian population.

Of the ten national forest regions, including Alaska, receipts from the Pacific Northwest (Washington and Oregon) amounting to $3,445,733, topped all others; the Southern national forest region was second, and the California Region (California and southwestern Nevada) third with a total of 9976,131.

The principal source of receipts from the California and Nevada national forests were: Timber sales, $582,D6; grazing, $205,148; special land use, $147,877; water power rentals, $31,566. The Plumas and Lassen National Forests held first and second place in timber sales business and accounted for $373,560 of the total received from this resource.

Since Federal property is not taxed, 25 per cent of all money received from each national forest is turned over in lieu of taxes to the State to be expended for the benefit of public schools and roads of the counties in which the forest is located. An additional 10 per cent is also used for road and trail building and upkeep on the forests, making in all a total of 35 per cent of the receipts returned directlv to benefit national-forest communities.

Lieut. Icck Butler Visits Scn Frcrncisco

Construction of 13,000 more homes for Los Angeles County war workers has been authorized by the National Housing Agency.

Added to 23,868 other homes already authorized or under construction, the new Los Angeles County dwellings will increase to 77,353 the number of units built here since Pearl Harbor.

Eugene Weston, Jr., regional representative of the NHA, announced the 13,000-unit program at a luncheon of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce construction industries executive committee. Its cost will exceed $62,000,000. 4O00 of the new structures will be built in San Fernando Valley, 4000 in the Santa Monica-Inglewood area, 2000 in the eastern metropolitan Los Angeles area, including Whittier, and 2000 in the Long Beach section. All these will be financed by private capital. In addition government funds will be used for 1000 units for the Roosevelt Naval Base on Terminal Island.

It was Grantland Rice who wrote that. Rice, as you know, is a veteran sports writer who has lived to become a legend. More than that, he has lived to find himself hailed as a true poet by the best of contemporary literary men. Those who so proclaim him generally quote the above stanza from one of his poems. Matty declare it to be the finest bit of genuine poetry that the present decade has produced, here or elsewhere.

of course another tol"u* "itts writer has likewise stepped into the brightest glare of the national limelight in the past few years, John Kieran Lovers of Information Please, the astoundingly successfut radio program, have discovered that this football and baseball writer and critic is in fact the best posted man in America on all important subjects. And besides, he knows the works of Shakespeare almost by heart.

A friend sent me a short prayer that takes first prize in my book right now. He says that it is posted on a bulletin board in the Navy Supply Depot in Oakland, California prominently displayed, and here's what it says: "Oh Lord, give me the strength to keep my big mouth shut when I don't know what the Hell I'm talking about." Honestt fsn't that a pip? It would do well for display in a few million other places throughout this land at present.

Thc moet successful speech I've listened to in many a day was made recently by a veteran federal judgc to a big gathering of business and professional men. The fact that it was probably the most successful speech he cver madc in his life was due as much to his subject as it was to his logic and delivery. For he was talking about the Constitution of th3 United Stateq the position in which that Cpnstitution at present finds isclf, and whcthcr or not that Constitution still lives. The deadly interest of every man in that audience showcd how reriously thinHng men arc worricd about t'he inroads that have been made of late into the hitherto impregneblc fortress of that Constitution. And you *rould

have heard them roar when he referred to certain OPA practices as "purely dictatorid." He held that there is no legat right, even under wartime emergencies' to remove one fiber from the strength of our written Constitution, and urged that when this war ends all thinking men get together to see that a government of laws based on the Constitution be reinstated in this land. It was an unusual speech for a high court federal judge to make, but this man spoke as one who feels that it is time for patriots to speak out. His biggest applause came when he mentioned the present U. S. Supreme Court, and raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders.

Gus Dyer, of Nashville, Tennessee, for many years Professor of Econo'mics at Vanderbilt University, has been going around the country making eloquent speeches that point in the same direction. Gus says that the men who made our Constitution never intended that it should be set aside for any emergency, any more than God intended that the Ten Commandments be so treated. He says: "God did not say 'thou shalt not steal except in an emergency'; He said 'thou shalt not steal."'

And Eric A. Johnson, the liberal and much quoted President of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, pulled a good line in one of his recent speeches, when he said: "'We must preserve the American tradition of freedom to take a chanc+to lose your shirt if you wanrt to." Taking chances was what made America what America is.

Our lawmakers are again in session in Washington. Every man of them.who can distinguish right from wrong, muat ' rcalize that the equalization by fair legislation of labor's responsibilities to fit its gleatly enlarged privileges should be an early goal of every legislator who wants to do gomething for his countrn and who isn't frightened at the thought of next election. But it won't be done, as we too well know, because politics won't permit, regardless of the vital need. rf**

Had a long talk-a couple of them, in fact-with a most interesting gentleman, on the subject of postwar matters. Wish I could tell you who he is, because it would impress you as his personality and his opinions did me. But f can tell you some of the personal opinions he cxpressed, fceling that they will find a welcome in the mind of every thinker. Su6ce it to say that he is a foreign ofEcer who was at DunHrk, nras recently in Africa, and dso in Russia, on duty for his country. Few men anywhere are in better poaition to hold opinions on thc subjccts discueeed, than hc.

I askcd him what he thought of Russia? Would she be a dangcrous, or a depcndable postwar ally. That guestion, as you know, is what they call a "moot" one in the world today. Hc spokc quickly, decisively on that subiect. He likes thc Russians, thinks they are swinging rapidly to the right in their politics (which is what Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker said on returning from there recently), and thinks they will make splendid allies after the war, and will work with Britain and the United States to help protect the future of the world. And he thinks Germany is on the rapid road to utter destruction.

What about this stutr lve*re"l or " great movement in Ruseia to make peacc with the Germans once they get rid of their Nazi masters? Nothing, he declared, could be more ridiculous. Can anyone who has watched Stalin through the years and studied the psychology of the man, suppose for an instant that he will set aside his day of vengeance for all the horror Germany has heaped upon Russia? Will the man who killed and purged his own followers and friends by the thousands, who let millions of his own people die of hunger only a few years back, hold back his vengeance from Germany? Or have any gualms about killing Germans? No, said this ofEcer. When Germany falls, Stalin will say to Britain and the United States: "Look the other way for a while, gentlemen; I have some business to attend to in Germany." And it will be the kind of business that Germany has attended to when she swept into other countries. I don't know how you feel, gentle reader, but most of the men I talk to think such action would be pure-if brutal-justice. And "Uncle Joe" is the boy who would

And how about Japan when she is crushed? What will be her future?, I asked. My personal opinion is, Japan will be a slave state, said this gentleman. Japan has uttcrly failcd, he said, to measure up to even the lowest level of a civilized nation. She is not fit for self-gotlernment, and she is not fit for a place in the brotherhood of nations. So she shall lose her status as an independent nation, and her people will become a slave people; at least until th€ time when they can prove that the beast-like ferocity that has marked their conduct of the war thus far, has been cleansed by the wash of time.

r8{3*

That opinion also seems to me most wise. Shall that nation made up of savages who tear and torture and rape and ravage decent men and women, be given a place in the sun with civilized people when this war ends? Shall those who murder the wounded and torture the defenseless be made free people again; free to connive again against the safety and salvation of the world? Not if this officer who talked to me, knows anything about it. Let them become carriers of burdens and cutters of wood, as the Bible says, for the decent people of the earth, until such time as they have demonstrated their fitness for better things.

Yes, my foreign friend l"nl* i have just told about, left with me impressions that were tremendously thought-provoking. Of all the postwar predictions that I have either heard or read-and they are legion-his are the only ones I have encountered on those trnrticular subjects that seem wise, just, and sensible. What do you think?

That Orange Color

George McManus, the delightful little Irishman who draws the Maggie and Jiggs cartoons and funny strip, loves to tell Irish stories, and, of course tells them mighty well.

One of his favorites is about two Irishmen green frorn the "auld sod" who landed in New York, and the first time they tried to cross a street were stopped by a big cop because the red light was on. The cop held them on the curb until the red light went off. Then ttte orange-colored warning light fickered for just a few seconds, and then came the green light. The cop said to

them:

"You can cross now on the green light. You'll have plenty of time."

The two Micks had watched the long red signal, then the short orange signal, and now the deliberate green signal with much interest, and as they stepped off the curb to cross the street one of them turned to the cop with a ficker in his eye and a grin on his chin, and said:

"They don't give the d-n Protestants much time to cross, do they?"

I'm ashamed to say that I've forgotten his name, but there used to be a platform speaker'<ne of these Chautauqua type philosophers-who talked around this country for manS many years' using an illustration of one of his main poinb that made a terrific hit with me the first time I saw it. I still remember how it impressed his entire audience as no array or arrangement of words or phrases could have done. He used to talk about people, the succees of Bome, the failure of others, and the whys and wherefores of human nature. To illustrate his opinions he would produce a glass iar that held about half a bushel. He would almost fiIl this glass jar with potatoes; potatoes of all sizes from very smdl to very large.

He would invite his audience to watch what happened when he shook that glass jar filled with potatoes. And he would start shaking. And as he shook, you know of course what happened. The little potatoes went to the bottom: the big potatoes came to the top; and the rest of the potatoes took their place between top and bottom, just according to their size. And he would say: "See? Now, folks, that's what happens when you shake the bushel basket of humanity. That's exactly what happens. The big people come to the top, the small people go to the bottom, and the other people will take their place just according to their size." And then he would say to his audience: "Now stop and thinkl What can a person do to get closer to the top in this battle of life?" And everyone would shout: "He must make himself bigger." And, of course, that was the answer he was looking for, and he would go on and discuss the subject furthcr; just how a man, or woman, or even a child, can work to make himself bigger.

That spcaker and his glass jar often comes to mind now as I watch the battle for survival of thc fittest going on throughout this lumber industry. That "the weak must go to thc wdl" there can be no doubt. A world of them already havc. And with thosc that remain in thc rctail lumber business there is strictly and definitely a "survival of the fittcst" struggle taking place. It requires strength, in-

genuity, imagination, resourcefulness, optimism, and plenty of sticktoitiveness to stay in thc retail lumber business today. Say what you will about it in normal times, but this retail lumber game is a he-man's job now, and don't doubt it for a moment.

This war thing is shaking the glass jar of business today, just as my friend, the talking philosopher, used to shake it from the Chautauqua platform long ago. And the result is the same. Identically the same. The big men shake to the top. The little ones shake to the bottom. And the others take their place according to their size. And their size means the caliber to which they have recently developed. The battle for survival is bringing out the stronger characteristics in a world of men; developing the wea,knesses of others. Surely the old saying that "it isn't the size of the dog in the fight that counts, it's the size of the fight in the dog," is liquid truth.

I'm a great believer in the law of compensation. It's a law heavy-laden with justice and fairness and the Hnd of equity that plain humans can understand and appreciate. And one of the big compensations that I get out of sitting on a sort of watch-tower and watching this wartime lumber industry take the jumps and the hurdles, is remembering what a magnificent breed of lumber dealers we are golng to have in this industry when the cmergency ends, and we start back toward normal business again. Can you doubt for a minute that the survivors of this scramble for existence are going to be better merchants than thcy evcr drcamed of being before?

'We're coming out of this confict with a breed of super dealers to whom the problems of peacetimo-problems that previously looked difEcult enough-will be only molchillr in comparison with what they have bcen through. Yeg, sir, the lumber dealer of today is getting a new sort of education, and getting it the hard way. The buy, sell, and collect days will be pretty soft comparcd with these think, work, and substitute times, and don't doubt it. Thc stiffest problems will seem easy.

But it's a hard school to learn in, isn't it mcn?

Private Houring Units for War Workerc

The Federal Housing Administration announced that over 8,000 private housing units for war workers have been placed under construction in Southern California during the first nine months of this year.

During September alone, . tottl of 1,14O of such units were placed under construction in the district, according to W. G. Birlgham, district director.

Since the first of the year private lending institutions in Southern California operating under the FHA-insured mortgage program have made applications for insured mortgages totaling $34,5,{0,000 to finance 7,136 new war housing residential units to be constructed in the various critical areas throughout Southern California, Mr. Bingham reported.

In addition to the applications for financing of new war housing residences received during the first nine months of 1943, the FHA offices of this District also received 3,1,+6 applications for insuranie of mortgages totaling $16,494,000, to finance the purchase of, or to refund mortgages on existing homes. These applications were filed under Section X3 of. the National Housing Act, which permits loans, in some cases, up to 90 per cent of the FHA-appraised value and terms for as long as 4 years.

Many applications for priorities for residential conversions are being received in the local FHA offices. This program offers a special Title I insured-loan available, through private lending institutions, up to $5,000 for property owners who want to convert existing properties into additional housing units'

Memory of C, R

Johnson Honored by Citizens of Fort Bragg

Sedion oI Huge Bedwood Tree

Dediccrted crs Memoricrl to theCity's Founder

The dedication of a plaque and a section oI a huge Redwood tree to C. R. Johnson, founder and former head of the Union Lumber Company, by the citizens of the City of Fort Bragg, California, on Monday, September LPaul Bunyan Day-was a fitting tribute to the memory of a man who was one of the great pioneers of the lumber industry of the United States.

More than 500 people were present on the grounds of the Union Lumber Company's office for the outdoor cere-

The Charler Bussell Iohnson Menoricrl a base which was also a Redwood log. The plaque was placed on the lower half of the section.

The dimensions of the tree were: total height, 334 feet ; height to first break, N4 f.eet; top diameter, 94 inches; diameter at 16 feet, 172 inches; diameter at stump, 2l feet,2 inches; log scale, 140,800 feet (Spaulding Scale).

The ceremonies opened with music by the band of the 107th Regiment. James Snell, master of ceremonies, introduced Charles M. Mannon, who read an address pre-

monies,

In his address Mr. McNab gave a brief outline of some

Thc Plcque

arranged by a committee appointed by the business men of Fort Bragg, headed by Charles R. Weller ancl James Campbell.

The large Redwood tree section, cut from one of the biggest trees ever felled in Mendocino County, $'as set on

pared by John L. McNab of San Francisco, nationallv known lawyer, and a life long friend of Mr. Johnson. Mr. McNab lvas prevented by illness from making the trip from San Francisco.

of the world's historical events during the period of nearly 18 centuries since the Redwood tree, from rvhich the section was cut, first sprouted. "Only a century and a half had gone by at the day of its sprouting since the Son of Man left the imprint of his sandals on the dusty hills of Judea," the speaker said.

, Among the u'orld events he included William the Conqueror's victory at Hastings in 1065 when this Redwood was over 850 years old; the signing of Magna Charta; Columbus' historic discovery of America; George Washington's triumph at Yorktown; the writing of the Constitution of the United States, and the overthrow of Napoleon.

He referred to the inventions which have transformed the world during this period, mentioning the cotton gin, the steam engine, the steamship, the telegraph, Atlantic cable, the telephone, the wireless, the radio, and now Radar.

In his tribute to Mr. Johnson the speaker said in part:

"Carried on the face of this great slab is a dedication to the memory of C. R. Johnson. He was one of the kindliest men that ever lived. He proved that a successful man of the industrial world could still remain a graciotts and lovable gentleman. Behind his smile was a will of steel. But he never found it necessary to sacrifice the gentleness of the gentleman in order to exert his power. To him tl-rere was an aristocracy that comes from the success of selfeffort. He builded his own career and he demanded that all others should have the right to live their own lives in independence of thought and action, as did he himself. His life was dedicated to fair play. He was a believer in free and unrestricted enterprise. He believed in free employment, and the right of every man to work according to his own calling and for whom he chose. It is a marvelous thing to have builded an industrial empire, but it is a greater thing, amidst that creation, to have retained the sr,r'eetness and charm of a human being-a human being that loved his friends; treasured his family; and considered his riches not measured in dollars but in the grace and tenderness and the sweetness which made up the story of his relations with his fellow man.

"For such a man there could be no finer memorial than this great cut from the Redwood trees among which he spent his life.

"With you I join in dedicating this rnemorial, and with you I pray that so long as its fiber shall endure against the wind and rain and sun, so long shall live the memory of the friend of us all, and of this community-C. R. John. son-in whose honor we meet today."

Prof. Emanuel Fritz, professor of Forestry at the University of California, gave a brief talk on the life of the big Redwood. He also paid tribute to the memory of Mr. C. R. Johnson, whom he knew quite well. In speaking of Mr. Johnson, Prof. Fritz stated that as far as he knew, Mr. Johnson was the first man to actively try and reforest the cut-ofr regions with Redwoods; was the first to try to plant seedlings and was the man largely responsible for the success of various experiments by Prof. Fritz.

In his talk about the tree, Prof. Fritz gave the age of the section that was used in the memorial as 1728 years.

Mr. Snell introduced Mr. Otis Johnson, son of the man being honored, and present head of the Union Lumber Com-

pany. In his remarks Mr. Johnson said he felt very deeply the respect that was being paid to the memory of his father. He expressed his regret at the enforced absence of Mr. McNab, and his gratitude for the part taken by i!Ir. McNab, Mr. Mannon and Professor Fritz in the ceremonies, and before the plaque was unveiled spoke briefly of some of the achievements and practical ideals of N{r. C. R. Johnson as follows:

"To me this huge sectiorr of this great tree is a symbol linking us with the far distarit past, which has seen the world go by for many centuries and three times that many generations. It has seen various parts of the world at different times pull themselves up by their boot straps only to suffer the inevitable reaction and only to recover, if it did, through the return of thrift and industry of its people inspired by the intelligence, courage and imagination of outstanding men who through the system of free enterprise have created things for other men to do in the way of producing goods and services that other men need and want.

"Such a man was' the man to whom we are dedicating this tree and almost everything we see around us here today, (Continued on Page 20)

Iove Restrcined

Believe me if dl those endearing young charms, That I view with admiring dismaY; Are going to rub off on my shoulders and arms, Of this suit that was cleaned just todayThou wilt still bc adored with my usual zeal, My swectheart, my darling' my own' But I'll stcrnly rcprcss the cmotions I feel, Ill love you, but leave You alone.

'Tis not that your bcauty is any the less, Or your checks unaccustomedly gay; They're loveln indced, as I gladly confees, I And I think I ahould leave them that way. For the bloom on your lips isn't on very tighg And thc powder rubs off of Your nose, So my dream is platonic, my dear, for tonightFor these are mY verY best clothes.

Our Budget

Our guests have departed; and now we're aghast, Our grocery budget's a thing of the past; Our cupboard, like Hubbard's, yields nothing to eat, Our brave ration books lying low in defeat'

You loved playing hostess, I loved playing host, But guests cannot live on just coffee and toast; Our diet's like Gandhi's, and we'll hardly eat, Until our sick budget gets back on its feet.

"Never mind, boy," said the hostess, smiling and quict. "Take it back to the kitchen, and bring in the other one."

Vcn Dyke on Living

Henry Van Dyke wrote: "To be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and play and to look up at the stars. To be satisfied with your possessions, but not to be content with yourself until you have made the best of them. To despise nothing in the world exccpt falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except corrardice. To be governed by your admirations rather than your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbor's, except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners. To think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends, and every day of Christ, and to spend as much time as you can with body and with spirit in God's out of doors. These are the guide-posts on the footpaths to pcace."

Musical Soldiers

The top sergeant sang out just before the company was dismissed: "All those who are fond of music, step two paces forward." With visions of some soft job or entertainment, half a dozen men stepped forth. The sergeant growled: "Nour then you six mugs get busy and carry that grand piano up to the top foor of the officer's quarters."

The Right Answer

In the fine morrie "Stage Door Canteen," they show a quizz contest where the soldier who makes the best answcr gets a cash prize.

"If you could be any animal you wished, what animal would you rather be?" asked the quizzlady.

. "A skunk " quicHy replied a handsome Marine. "So f could choose my own friends."

AS YOU NEVER DROVE BEFOR,E!

Many a soldier owes his life to a commander who drove him to the utmost in baale-zcwr let ltim slacAen for a skgh fatal instant! And after the war, maay ^ worker will owe his economic safety to a leader who drove him contiouously for higher Pay-Roll allotments for the purchase of ITar Bonds!

Despite higher taxes and prices, the ave|3ge worker still has more money than ever before-paniculady on the basis of the/zmilyincome. With others in the family earning, too, just let the worker 'figure ir out for himself, and he usually will realize that nou he can

put more into $Var Bonds than he has been doing.

That's why the Treasury Department has set new quotas fot the cuffent PayRoll Allotment Drive-qaotas rrnning about 50% abow former fgaret. These quotas are designed to reach the neu money that's coming into the family income. Coming from millions of new workers from women who never worked before . . . from millions who never before earned anything like what they are getting today!

The current ITar Bond elfort is built around the fanily unit, and the Treasury Department oow urges you to or-

ganize your lVar Bond tbinding-atd your War Bond'nlliry-on the basis of your employees' family incomes. For details, get in touch with your local TfarFinance Comrniffee which will sup. ply you with all necessary material for the proper presentation ofthe new plan to your workers through your laborrnanagement comminees.

Today about 30,000,000 wage earners, io 17!,000 plants, are buying lfar Bonds at the rate of nearly half a billion dollars a month. Great as this sum is, it is not enoagb! So turn-to today! Get this aew family income plan worhing!

this industry and this city, are the living proof of what he believed in and what he did.

"And when he did these and many other constructive things he created employment for men which has continued and increased for nearly sixty years. He increased public revenues by the taxes he paid and in the meantime he furnished needed material for homes, farms, railroads, and factories and he made it possible for us now to be doing an important part in furnishing material vital to our armed forces in this war. This sort of thing and this only spells real progress.

"If this ceremony today and the dedication of this huge tree section does any lasting good, it will be to keep before our minds the principles and the wisdom of a great man-a man among men, whom all other men looked up to and respected just as this tree which towered above the others was looked up to and commanded the respect of all other trees in the forest. If as we see this great monument and read the plaque upon it throughout the years to come and are reminded of how Mr. C. R. Johnson would have advised us on our various problems, we will be guided to better and sounder decisions. If we do this this ceremony and this dedication will have been well worthwhile.

"I will now unveil the plaque with the help of the two grandsons, who I am very glad are here, Captain Charles Russell Johnson II and Peter Lowe. In doing so I express my gratitude to all who took part in these ceremonies, this large assemblage of people, the splendid military band, the speakers, Mr. Mannon for his own speech and for reading Mr. McNab's impressive words, to Professor Fritz, who has told us among other interesting things the age of the tree, to Mr. Snell, who has so ably conducted the proceedings, to Miss Norma Bainbridge, Mrs. Grace Harlow for their beautiful music, and especially to the citizens of the City of Fort Bragg for their thoughtfulness, consideration and vision in holding this ceremony, donating this plaque and in dedicating this tree to the memory of Charles Russell Johnson, who founded their city August 5, 1889."

HAMMOND LUMBER COMPANY

Frcd Roth Vrita From Honolulu

Fred Roth, former San Francisco lumberman, has sent us a newsy letter from Honolulu. Fred is now a manufacturer's representative for Transpacific importers and exporters operating under the name of Oceanic Traders. His letter follows:

"LET US ALL PULL TOGETHER." I quote fom an adVertisement of Lewers & Cooke, Building Material Specialists-"Our 91st Year. Just think, founded in 1852; twenty-three years before Hawaii granted to the United States the use of Pearl Harbor as a naval base; forty-six years before Hawaii was admitted to the United States as a territory and become its first line of defense in the Paci6c to aid in our war against Spain. Again on December 7, 194L, when the Japanese Government perpetrated its dastardly crime against Pearl Harbor in particular, and mankind in general, Lewers & Cooke, together with other local building material houses, were in your front linc trenches as your outpost of the Pacific. Thanks to our largc stocks of Douglas Fir from the Pacific Northwest and the Redwoods of California, rve were able to carry on a great emergency war program."

Today, as I now sit in the office of Fred D. Lowrey, president of Lewers & Cooke, we glance over a monthly business letter from the Chamber of Commerce of Honolulu and read as follows:

"Business and industry in Hawaii in the first six months of 1943 has effected a recovery from disruption which existed during the corresponding 1942 interval following tlre outbreak of war.

"Retail and wholesale trade shows an average gain of dbout D/o in the first half of this year "o-p"r"d with the same period last year.

"The opening six months of the current year ended with business at improved levels. Sugar and pineapple shipments are approaching their prewar volume. Bank clearings and. real estate transactions continue to gain. private construction has remained at a low ebb, but it is expected

that this situation may improve with the expected release of materials at such time as fulfillment of war needs will permit."

Hugh Alderman, who by the way is now in charge of purchases and sales of Lewers & Cooke's lumber department, operating directly under C. S. Goodknight, first vice-president, comes into the office with a smile on his face as broad as a Georgia colored boy eating watermelon. "Fred, f wonder how many lumbermen dusted off their Bibles to check on Jack Dionne's editorial pertaining to what Jesus Christ had to say about lawyers in the Eleventh Chapter of Luke?" f confessed I was one of them.

Fred Lowrey asks Jack Dionne and Ed Martin to extend his Aloha to the lumber fraternity in California and the Pacific Northwest. He states: "'We have all your difficulties of the OPA and WPB and the rest of the alphabet plus the obvious transportation difficulties due to our situation.

"fn conclusion may we ask our mainland contemporaries to pull with us and for us until that day when we can all get together and say weren't we great in the last war. If only we could find as great a market today to build for everlasting peace."

It has been my privilege to meet with Stuart Smith in conference and to have him at my home for dinner. Needless to say, our conversation ran like this: "Remember open house dav when Eddie Peggs opened up his office; remember that Hoo-Hoo concat in Los Angeles; remember that Lumbermen's banquet at Harry Marquard's in San Francisco," and so far into the night- Stuart has gained a warm Aloha from the entire lumber fraternity in Honolulu.

"Comprehensive forest legislation, including but not limited to regulation of cutting practices, is now more urgently needed than ever before," Lyle F. Watts, Chiefr U. S. Forest Service, said in a statement to a meeting of foresters at Milwaukee on September 30.

In reply Dr. Wilson Compton, Secretary-Manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, said that observant forest owners agree that the forest situation is unsatisfactory but has been greatly improved in recent years; that further regulation should be determined in each forest region, by regional facts and experience, and administered under state laws; and that the Forest Service in cooperation with states and forest owners should extend its forest fire protection and other services generally, within the framework of private forest ownership and enterprise rather than by nationalizing our forest resources.

Digests of the two statements follow:

Speaking of "Planning for Peace," Mr. Watts cited the needs of public forest and range land for improvements, as a source of postwar employment. "The volume and geographic distribution of work in these fields may be greatly expanded by pushing the acquisition of millions of acres of forest land which seem destined for public ownership."

Better care and protection of forests is required if they are to be kept highly productive, said the Forest Servicc Chief, "yet today, after decades of agitation and educational efiort, the bulk of cutting on private forest lands is not under any plans for perpetuating the productivity of the resource and one-third of the private forest area, including a large part of the best timber growing land in the South, is still without organized fire protection."

Mr. Watts thought that post-war needs for lumber and other forest products will continue near the wartime level. Declining needs for the war efiort will be offset by demands for housing, the use of new techniques for using wood in construction of all kinds, the upward trend in pulp

and paper products. Moulded plywood, plastics and the many wood derivatives will make a new outlet. Huge quantities of lumber will be needed to rebuild war-torn Europe. "Only by the most aggressive measures can we hope to bring saw-timber growth in line with needs," Watts stated.

"Comprehensive forest legislation, including but not limited to regulation of cutting practices, is now more urgently needed than ever before. In making this statement I am not in the least overlooking or discounting the many examples of good forest management by private owners in almost every section of the country." Mr. Watts cited the Goodman Lumber Company and the Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Company and the J. Neils Lumber Company as examples in the Lake States and the Pacific Northwest. Forest protection on Weyerhaeuser's Clemons Tree Farm in Washington is far beyond that given the National Forests, he said. "But I have seen much more destructive cutting than good forestry. I want to say with all the force I have that nation-wide regulation of cutting practices on private forest land under strong federal leadership is absolutely essential if needless destruction of productive growing stock is to be stopped," the Chief Forester declared.

"It is unfortunate that a well-financed publicity campaign sponsored by the forest industries during the recent past should tend to cultivate public complacency when the situation with respect to our forest resources is so unsatisfactory. As head of this agency chiefly concerned with the public interest in maintaining the productivity of our forests, I cannot let the misleading publicity of the forest industries pass unchallenged.

"This campaign creates the impression that little not already being done on private land is needed to assure the nation ample timber supplies for the future. It exaggerates the extent and adequacy of industry progress in good forest practice. I cannot escape the conclusion that the real object of this campaign is to ward off

public regulation which was recommended in one form by the Department of Agriculture in 194O, brought before Congress in several forms since then and proposed for legislation in 14 states during the past winter.

"Conservation leaders are not in agreement as to the responsibility of the federal government in such regulation. It is my firm belief that regulation by state action unsupported by strong federal legislation cannot be effective. . I do not believe that financial aid to the states to meet the costs of regulation will induce reluctant or strongly independent states to enact appropriate regulatorv legislation.

"fn order that nation-wide regulation of cutting practices may come promptly and be reasonably uniform in star.rclards and enforcement, federal legislation is needed wbich will as a minimum give the Secretary of Agriculture authority (1) to set the standards for required forest practices; (2) to pass on the practices adopted by the states; (3) to inspect enforcement; and (4) to take direct action where suitable state legislation is not enacted and where enforcement or the standards established are not acceptable."

Mr. Watts said that federal contributions to fire control and extension services, research, the forest survey, and forest credit and insurance call for action on a national level. He expressed surprise that federal regulation of cutting practices has become so controversial. He gives credit to several strong states that have taken "appropriate measures," but believes strongly that only federal leadership carr assure a uniform policy and prevent undesirable competitive conditions between states.

Private enterprise offers better opportunity for progress in forestry than nationalization proposed by Forest Service.

Briefing the issue, Dr. Compton said that the Forest Service thinks the national situation of our forest resottrce is critical and that the Service should have more authority to correct it; while the forest industries think the situation is not so critical, that it is improving and that with public cooperation they can handle the task on their own lands.

The Forest Service survey published in 1938 reported 83 per cent of the 341 million acres of commercial forest lands in private ownership in "productive condition," Comptott pointed out. A survey conducted by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association in 194243, to bring the information up to date, covered 346 million acres of privatelyowned lands in 36 states. State foresters and other agencies on the ground supplied the data. Eight per cent of the

346 million acres are under intensive forest management; 2l per cent in "continuous forest production;" 60 per cent in "productive growth." That leaves 11 per cent in "nonproductive condition." Of the 151 million acres industrially owned or operated, 16.5 per cent are under managemeni "plans;" D per cent are operated for continuous forest production; 48.5 per cent are in "productive condition." That leaves 6 per cent classed as "nonproductive." Such figures, Compton sai<l, do not show a critical condition becoming more critical.

In proportion to our population we have ten times as much commercial forest as has Germany, for example, Dr. Compton continued. Their elaborate system of "manicuring" their forest lands is not needed here. It is not necessary and it is too expensive.

Forest Service estimates published in 1938 indicate more than 11 billion cubic feet of new wood grows in our forests every year, and that use and the 2 billion cubic feet lost bv fire, insects and disease, total 13 billion feet annually. With better forest protection, it is possible to foresee a balance in lvhich rvood used is replaced annually.

The timber famine publicity of the past'half century has put the forest problem in a false perspective. Forests have been the target for fear psychology and scarcity propaganda. The end of commercial forest operations was just around the corner. Many Americans suspect that we are on the verge of forest famine. It has not materialized because the distinguished statisticians have known so little about the phenomenal rate of timber growth.

In 1832 Americans were assured that lumber was almost exhausted. In 1871 the Secretary of the Interior disclosed that within 20 years our supply of wood would "fall considerably short of our home necessities." In l92O a Senate Committee forecast that "for commercial purposes the timber of the Southern states will be depleted by 1940." In 1941, the eleven Southern states produced I3l billion f.eet of lumber.

Over-cutting exists in some places. There will be more while this war lasts. At least there should be. 'We are harvesting extra trees because we need them now. After the war they can be replaced.

In this matter of policy there is probably general concurrence that federal regulation is the wrong way to seek a right objective. There is no magic in regulation to control fires and make trees grow. Certain practices in forest

land management can be required by law, but to achieve them by education, economic inducement and public and private cooperation is our American way of getting things done.

The sooner we stop treating forestry as a perpetual emerg'ency the more progress we will make. People do not invest in things they are uncertain about. American forestry needs less agitation and more silviculture.

No country has solved its forest land problem without some public regulation, and this country will not either. Certain simple requirements are necessary and desirable but they should be based on the experience of forest land owners in each region and administered by state law. Federal regulation would force action more quickly, but its consequence would be substitution of public for private forest ownership. Those who want that will favor Federal regulation.

There will be no national shortage of timber. There are and will be local and regional shortages which should be rectified. Fundamentally, and except for the present fantastic wartime stimulation, American forests need markets more than they need more legislation.

The Chief Forester has criticized as "misleading" some of the information published by the forest industries. The Forest Service for half a century has had a gloomy approactr

to the whole conservation problem. This attitude is traditional, impregnable, and perhaps almost professional. It is the logical approach to a program of intended domination of a great industry by a federal bureau. The forest industries see a simpler, more constructive and a safer answer to the forest problem than is to be found in more federal laws.

The information program of the forest industries has created a lively curiosity about our forests. The public was never more keenly aware of the dangers of forest fires or the importance of junior forests or the possibilities in "Tree Farms." This public awareness has encouraged better forest practices in the industry itself. For this reason the forest industries should continue this industry information.

EstimatedConsumption of lfestern Pine Lumbcr for Fourth Quarter of 1943

Portland, Oregon, Sept. 30.-An estimate of the probable consumption of lumber from the Western Pine region for the fourth quarter of 1943 is given in a statement issued by the Western Pine Association. The statement follows:

Now that the country's war plant program is substantially completed the principal braki on the production of all critical items is the almost universal shortage of manpower. Recent accounts from Washington all agree that the labor situation in the West is as tight as it is anywhere in the nation.

The producers of Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine are just as hard pressed for labor as are any other war industries in the area. Early in the war they lost some of their best employees to new cost plus industries which rvere not operating under ceiling prices. Even now, with the critical nature of the industry's output well recognized, experienced men are being lost to the armed forces, to farm employers who can ofier almost automatic draft exemption and no withholding tax, and a few to other industries.

Evidence that there is no labor hoarding in the Western Pine industry is furnished by the production of 4318 million feet of lumber in the first nine months of this year. This is bat 6.7 per cent behind last year and only 7.7 per cent under the all-time high set by the industry in 1941. It is the best record of any principal section of the lumber industry.

During the third quarter the industry made some progress toward rebuilding stocks from which to maintain next winter's shipments but the insistant war demand for pine boxes and crating, which resulted in Limitation Order L-DU, kept the stock increase below normal. Stocks o!

1139 million feet are up 172 million feet in the past three months but still are 287 million feet under a year ago.

Based upon general predictions and all other available information regarding the industry's ability to make and ship lumber, it is expected that during the fourth quarter of 1943 the shipments (consumption) of Western Pine lumber will be about 1410 million feet, or 10 per cent under the fourth quarter of last year. This prediction contemplates a substantial reduction of stocks during the quarter, so that the year's shipments from the mills will exceed production by I75 to 200 million feet.
