Greater attention to timber lands was
urged by President Roosevelt today
In a brief talk to the "future farmers
of America.'
Speaking to the youthful represen
tatives of agriculture on the portico

urged that trees be considered a crop
Just as are potatoes and wheat.
"Timber la one commodity that is
going to be indispensable to us," he
said. "We have only a supply of what
is known as virgin timber for 30 or
40 years. We are using it four times
as fast as It grows." .
Pointing to the advantages of ag
ricultural life., the president warned
ftls audience that "you who are go
ing to engage In the profession of
agriculture know that the odds are
1000 to 1 that you will never become
mill ion aires."
I "But there is more than money,"
he continued. "More important Is
that you will be building up for fu
ture generations the soundest kinds
of American life."

ROOSEVELT TRIED
TO
(Copyrighted by MoClure Newspaper
Syndicate)
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, June 12.-JMr. Roose.
velt did everything but fumigate the
capltol trying to get congress out of
town, last week.
He waa excited particularly because
the boys were getting out from under
hla thumb. He realized this was the
beginning of the end of blind con
gressional loyalty. He did not want
that Idea to get abroad. It might hurt
business1 confidence if he wera to be
Involved In the usual presidential
bickerings with congress.
That Is one reason why he was so
anxious to compromise backstage on
the various points In dispute.
Word was passed along to the boys
In congress that the reaeon they had
to adjourn was that the World eco
nomic conference was convening to
day.
That was an absurd excuse. Nobody
expert, the conference to do anything
for three weeks. A few days more for
congress would make no difference.
It might make some difference on
the war debt Issue. Installments are
due next Thursday.
If the truth were known that fact
probably has more to do with Mr.
Roosevelt's haste than anything else.
There appeared to be nothing more
behind this Howe tol let-kit case than
some very bad management and a
half dozen errors of Judgment.
No one connected with It was en
titled to any bouquets but the facts
were not as bad as they sounded.
Possibly 9100.000 was lost to the gov
ernment because everyone was in such
a hurry to get the forestry movement
going.
The inefficiency was comparable to
wartimes. Centralized authority was
lacking. Political opponents will be
able to harass the administration on
the point for the next four years.
The truth Is that it wm not nearly
so Inefficient as the Job done on the
bank openings, but the facts about
that never got out.
The administration's private pre
liminary figures Indicate business Is
holding up well beyond the sessonal
trend.
The two figures they are watching
closest are showing up well. They sre
department store sales and factory
employment. These indicate the pres
ent and future consuming market.
Production will follow these so no
ont pays any attention to It anv more
The indications are that retail trade
maintained itself nationally the last
week in May and the first week in
June. Factory employment showed
some increase in the larger centers.
