"These areas have been protected and conserved and represent today a part of the nation's future timber supply. When the timber is ready to be harvested it is cut under government supervision, according to Improved methods of forestry, so that the young growth is protected and a new crop of timber Is assured. The mountain areas are not laid bare in the national foresis when timber is cut, as has been Mated b of the present enthusiastic supporters of a national park in the Southern Appalachian region. "The national forests mean much more to the South than just protected areas for the protection of the head waters of navigable streams; they mean the beginning of the source of our future limber supply, and they mean public recreation grounds, with camping and fishing privileges. "It was necessary for the sever- ites to pass legislation authorizing and permitting the Federal government to purchase and hold forest lands ln these states and to operate them as national forests; and it will be necessary for the several states to pass simllar legislation for a b* held by the government for nationo.1 parks.

Therefore, the Federal government can make appropriations for the purchase of these forested areas, whether they be in the Croat Smoky Mountains area or in any other area where the preservation of the pr mean a protection to the headwaters of navigable streams.
