STANTON The question of whether a sustained yield forest manage ment policy shall be put into effect has reached the crucial stage. The Bureau of Land Management, previously known as the' 0. & C. Administration, has completed the outline of its plan, has designated master market units, has mapped out working circles, and has, at long last, reached the stage where it is prepared to enter into contracts with individual operators. A hearing was held recently in Eugene on the first of such contracts to be proposed for signatures. If that first contract is given approval it is expected similar agree ments will be reached in the very near future covering vir tually all of the timber planned for sustained yield by the Bureau of Land Management, as other operators are pre pared to sign contracts. This is the critical point in the program and, as was to be expected, strong opposition has developed. An association of small mill owners has filed suit in federal district court seeking to enjoin the Interior Department from proceeding under the new act. Public meetings are being held to present charges that the sustained yield policy set up by the Bureau of Land Management creates a monopoly by reserving pub lic timber lands for the "big" operators, while the "little" operators are forced out of business. While the charge of mono)oly obviously is misleading, because a large number of operators will be signed to contracts, it is true, unfor tunately, that some mills, many of them small plants, will be forced out of existence. It is very much as if large number of candy bars were to be placed in a gold fish bowl. Only a few hands can reach into the bowl, so those who cant crowd in will get no candy. But as there is a limit to the number of candy bars, and also a limit as to the number of persons who can reach into the jar simultaneously, there must be some restriction on con testants. The Bureau of Land Management, therefore, has set up a first-come-first-served policy, which, however, in cludes certain qualifications as to the candidate's ability to serve the community which his operation will support. . These timber lands in question are owned by the public and should be administered to the public's best interest. The public is interested (1) in highest possible returns for its timber asset, (2) in the number of jobs created in the manufacture of the resource, (3) in the permanence of jobs so created, (4) in assurance that the asset will be conserved and protected. Opposition to the sustained yield program charges that the program will reduce jobs and leave ghost towns. Such accusation certainly deserves study for that, it seems to us, is the one thing we want most to avoid. We should inquire carefully to determine if these charges are true or untrue. As to the first issue of public interest, it must be apparent to anyone that we arc not getting full value for our timber asset. Too much of our timber is being bought by operators who produce nothing but rough green lumber and who waste as much as or more than they cut. Our primary interest from a public standpoint is in jobs. We want full employment values from our timber resource. Sustained yield opponents claim that became some small mills will be forced out of business we will have fewer jobs. Personnally, we cannot agree with this argument. It is true, of course, that as mills close down, men will be thrown but of work in those particular plants. But in the meantime, we believe, more new jobs will be created under sustained yield practice than will be los,t through freezing out of small mills. A cooperator under the sustained yield contract will be assigned a certain unit of timber. He will be permitted to cut a specified amount of thartimbcr each year. He will know exactly what his maximum production is to be. He will be interested, therefore, in getting the greatest possible value out of that production. Because he is assured a continuous operation as long as he fulfills the obligations assumed in his contract, he w ill not be hesitant in investing money for equipment and machinery to produce higher refinements in lumber manufacture. The higher one goes in the manufac turing process the greater is the proportion of man hours of lalor per unit of raw material. Thus the operator with an assured production and perpetual source of supply would create new jobs to utilize his limited cut to the fullest pos sible extent. Instead of wasting as much or more than we process, as is done at present, we would lie definitely con serving, and in that conservation would create more jobs than would be lost through closure of wasteful mills. This same process which creates new jobs would also act favorably upon other factors of public interest, the perma nence of jobs, and the assurance of conservation and pro tection of the resource. We have long predicted in this column that strong public pressure would lie brought against the Mistaincd yield pro gram. That pressure is now lcing exerted. It will undoubt edly extend its efforts. We anticipate strong representations to influence Congress to cancel out the act under which the Interior Department now operates. To accomplish its desired ends in Congress the opposition must be supported by public opinion, and it is quite apparent that a campaign to stir up public sentiment is 5;ow in progress.

CREOMULSION for Couch ,ChtColdi,Brom:hiri By J. R. Williams 2-fl O .v-f-vYu-'"'--' Practical Aid To Europe Advocated By Saitonstall - SEATLE, Feb. 16. UPl A proRram of "practical aid" to European countries was advo cated lant week by Senator Lev erett Saitonstall, Massachusetts Republican and speaker at Se attle's Lincoln Day observance. "As one Republican," he de clared, "I want to see our party take an affirmative position. I want to give practical aid to our friends across the seas now strug gling to get back to their feet." Saitonstall said five weeks of travel in England and on the Continent last fall convinced him that "the risk of going ahead and doing something about European recovery is a far better risk than to do nothing." He said also that the United States should give effective aid to China and develop strong mili tary forces for contingencies. "Our security and prepared ness may well require the adop tion of a plan for military train ing," he declared. "To be trained and skillful in modern warfare may, in the last analysis, save the lives of many a young man." Of the domestic economy, the Massachusetts senator said that Republicans seek to combat inflation- by encouraging produc tion, eliminating non-essential government expenses and reduc ing debts and taxation, and re stricting exports to nations not devastated by war. He Criticized what he described as President Truman's "approach to the inflation problem ... re newed governmental controls over our lives." Col. Jackson Advanced To Brig.
