The American Civic Asso- The Destinies of ciation submits a few of the Fifteen States more important considerations which affect in an amazing degree the destinies of at least nine Southern states and five Northern ones, and in a very substantial way, even though less directly, the interests of the country as a whole. The bill now before Congress calls for the establishment of these two reservations and an appropriation of two millions of dollars in the South and one million dollars in New Hampshire. The need of immediate action is pressing. The disasters that come from the destruction of the mountainside forests would be vast and overwhelming. (OVER)
