Alaska Is Again
Excepted
—-x
3«A;
President Hoover ordered the
forest Bureau to cease all leas
ing of national forest timber ex
cept in Alaska.
In Alaska leases will continue
for the cutting of pulp wood. In
this country only transactions
of not over $500 in order to pro
tect the small farmer. Hear,
Hear. ...
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde
in a recent letter:
“I believe it would be desire
abler np.W /to more positively de
fine the limitations of all leases
by the Bureau of Forests except
for pulp purposes"m^a^a, to
occasions when a sum of not
more than $500 Us imvQlved and
to leases where some cutting pri
vileges must be given actually to
maiints^j$eg3\«mills that are in
operation and this only where
the-jnilis-:cannot obtain raw ma
terials elsewhere.
‘^The only reason I am moved
to make these exceptions is that
we^ should not deprive farmers
and small industries of wood
supply and should not create
unemployment by inconsiderate
action.”
