Abstract American forestry needs the vitalizing force of congressional appropriations to carry out federal policy, plus the cooperation of state legislatures and private forest owners. The forest-using industries should discard their policy of evasion, agree upon a program of action which will deal fairly with all the major interest concerned, and offer as their greatest contribution to leave all lands out over henceforth adequately stacked with growing trees. Coming from the forester of a large land-owning company, these statements are particularly significant.
