Abstract In this article the chief of the Forest Service reports on its wartime activities, emphasizes the need for constructive planning to enable forests to make their optimum peacetime contribution to the welfare of the nation, and urges adoption of a comprehensive national program in forestry. The urgent need to stop destructive cutting is stressed, and the recent educational campaign of the forest industries is criticized for indulging in "misleading publicity" that tends to cultivate public complacency when the forest situation is so unsatisfactory. Three major lines of public action are advocated--regulation of forest practices on privately owned forest land, aid to forest landowners, and increased public ownership--with special emphasis on nation-wide regulation under strong federal leadership.
