TIMBER URGED
IDENT
WASHINGTON, Feb. C -President
Harding urged enactment ot
legislation for tho conservation of
forests in a letter today to Represen
tative Clarke, New York, a republi
can member of the house agriculture
committee which has been conduct
ing hearings on tho subject. Co-op
eration between tho federal govern
ment and states in a comprehensive
policy for reforestation and timber
conservation is proposed in a tenta
tive bill before tho cummjttee.
"When wo reinembor that substan
tially ono-fourth of tho national area
is forest land or potential forest land
of Httlo or no value save for timber
production," tho president said, "the
need of the legislation becomes ap
parent. "Already we have consumed or de
stroyed sixty per cent ot our original
timber wealth and we are now UBlng
timber at a rale ot four times as fast
as we are growing it."
Consumption ot forest growth
nearest tho centers of commerce and
industry, tho president Bald, has
mado necessary shipment of timber
for constantly increasing distances
at steadily growing transportation
costs with consequent increases in
the price ot timber which has added
to difficulty in meeting tho housing
problem. These matters, he declared,
striking directly at sources ot nu-
Hon strength
"Kegrowth of our forosts on cut
over lands which are most suitable
for that purpose In tho more popu
lous portions of the United SluteB,"
tho letter added, "13 therefore highly
desirable."
Calling attention to a provision of
tho bill that tho federal government
might in its discretion wtthoud con
tributions toward tiro protection and
conservation from states not co-operating
Mr. Harding said this cost
was altogether desirable.
"Thero is every reason why tho
federal government," ho said, "should
prefer to spend its co-operativo ap
propriations in Btates whero they will
count for tho most in forest protec
tion. Slates which nro backward In
this regard should not participate in
the beenfits of the federal policy un
til they aro willing to meet such rea
sonable conditions as tho six-rotary
of agriculture may prescribe."

trary "unanimous resistance on tho

(By tho Associated Press.) Sixty
six thousand workmen employed in
luo Thysseu works nt Haniborn, Muol
helm, Duishcrg and Dinslakcn are
working full timo three olght hour
shifts a day and havo not bcon af
fected either by tho railroad strike
or lack of coal. Locomotives are busy
shunting cars in the railroad yards
of the plants, which cover about ton
square miles. They are built around
seven pit heads and arn thus pro
vided each day with sufficient coal
to supply the entire works.
Many industries in tho Kuhr are
n a similar position, maintaining
tholr coal mines within a hundred
yards of the Industrial plants. The
workers remained faithful to their
jobs nnd plants nre well stocked
with raw material. Thus they can
hold out for many months.
As the correspondent . motored
through Duisberg, Ruhrort, Ham
born, Oberhauscn and Muelhelm, he
noted that most of the steel plants
and mines wero working but that the
railroad yards wero all Idlo except
for a few trains manned by the
French. Tho trainmon wero at work
in tho private yards and plants.
Navigation was at . a complete
standstill. At Ruhrort, the corres
pondent saw two tugs flying the
Dutch flag and one with tho French
emblem, hauling two coal barges up
tho Rhine toward Alsace. Tho river
was practical' deserted.
The industrial magnates have not
lost courage. "We can hold out as
long as tho French can," Beems to be
the consensus ot opinion.
UKRLIN, Feb. 6. (By the Asso

turned to Berlin today from a two
day tour of the occupied Ruhr area,
convinced, he said, that the determin
ation of the population to resist the
French coercive measures was just
as firm today as when the first of
the occupying force entered Kssin
