LOS ANOBLa* CUJ* By ^OHN DICKINSON SHERMAN RESIDENT COOLIDGE, politician Pas well as statesman, has taken action which shows he appreciates the nationnl park movement as the livest non-political issue of the day and close to the heart of the people. And this Is what he has done: . He endorses the development of the outdoor recreational movement ; admits the duty of the federal government to participate; declares for a comprehensive national policy; appoints a commit* tee of cabinet officers to prepure a tentative program, and calls a nationnl confer* ence on outdoor recreation which is now uncle if way at Washington. Says the President In part: Particularly within the last decade, the outdoor recreation spirit among our people has Increased rapidly. During this period there have been put forward projects--federal, municipal, state ana private--to expand and conserve throughout the country our recreational opportunities. It is almost Idle to emphasize their value to the country. The physical vigor, moral strength,, the clean simplicity of mind of the American people can be Immeasurably furthered by the properly developed opportunities fori the life In the open, afforded by our forests, mountains, and waterways. Life In the open Is a great character builder. From such life much or, the American spirit of freedom springs. Vurtherlng the opportunities of all for such life ranks In the general claas witfcb= education.

His share In this present movement is large. The tentative program prepared by this eomadttee is exhaustively comprehensive. Apparently $ver possible phase of the subject Is being cun- •ipered. Among the subjects are these* >The legal authority for federal participation H#der the "Public Welfare" clause of the Constitution as the proper medium for joint or interstate action and as custodiun of the public domain. Encouragement of outdoor recreation as a federal function for military preparedness, for higher Standards of citizenship, for general conditions of ttealth. •Outdoor recreation as a prime factor In the promotion of development--mental, physical, vocationsocial, moral and patriotic. lsed out of necessity to preserve tho national parks f^om Invasion bi ? the commercial Interests and from congress itself. Congress has no.' S e t t l e d n a t i o n a l park policy. It del i b e r a t e l y , e i t h e r through Indifference or Ignorance, violated the prece-. dents of half a century and gave the water power commission jurisdiction over the national parks. The "Army" f o r c e d t h r o u g h congress an act exempting the existing national parks, but leaving the question open as to f u t u r e n a t i o n a l , parks. • Attempts at invasion by the commercial Interests are unceasing. Senator Walsh of Montana has for years been unsuccessfully trying to put, through a bill for the damming off. Yellowstone lake In the Yellowstone. Legislation for tha. creation of Roose* velt-SequoIa N actional park--an en* larged Sequoia--I# still hanging fire; the national park service, the forest service and the Irrigation and power interests are tangled up in a deadlock. Congress appropriates considerable money--and impounds all the park revenues. It appropriates with little discrimination ; Yellowstone and Yosemlte have had millions and Rocky mountain-- by far the most popular of all the parks--Is practically without federal Improvement. National park roads In general are as a rule far Inferior to approach roads built by states and counties to reach the parks. If the forthcoming conference does PROFESSIONAL NURSE SATS .

Our national government ts already concerned In many phases Of It, but in an incoherent manner. In the administration of national parks, national forests, wild-life reserves, and unreserveddomain, the government ho'ds almost unlimited opportunities for this form of public service. In order to handle this matter properly, to adjust the widely separated viewpoints and Interlock the Interests concerned efficiently, there would be a definite and clearly prescribed national policy. The whole matter, being nation-wide In its scope, demands such' handling. The object to be secured should therefore be to promulgate a national policy which should not merely co-ordinate under federal guidance all activities in behalf of outdoor recreation but also formulate a program to serve as a guide for future action. Assistant Secretary of the* Navy Roosevelt, executive chairman of the conference, sent out Invitations to more than one hundred organizations to send delegutes. Secretaries Weeks, Work, Wallace, Hoover and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt were the members of the committee asked by the* President to suggest to him how a national outdoor recreation policy could "best be formulated and put Into action." This committee is fittingly constituted and tbe work of its members will be largely a labor of love. Secretaries Weeks, Work and Wallace are the three members of the federal power commission which has general administrative control over all waterpower sites on the public lands and reservations, existing national parks excepted.

The formu* lotion of an educational program for outdoor recreation ts included here, also the consummation of International agreements as to the preservation and propagation of wild life, the encouragement of •ports and reciprocal privileges. A survey, and classification of recreation re-, sources on national, state and private lands is slated for discussion. 9 ' The financial encouragement of outdoor recreation is considered, with respect to co-operation in road and trail construction, and in wild life preservation; to specific appropriations for development Of public properties; to direct financial co-operation in educational programs, and to Improvement of waterways and waters for development of recreational values. -Finally, the program calls for a pronouncement tion commission, which under the Weeks act has made extensive forest purchases In the White mountains and Appalachians.

President Coolidge's action is timely. There never will be peace and co-operation until a national policy is adopted. At present there is chaos and war. The "National Park Army" was organnothing more than establish peace and co-operation between the Interior and Agricultural departments, It will accomplish much. For ten years the Agricultural department has staged the astonishing spectacle of a campaign both open and secret to wrest from the Interior department thf control of the nationnl parks. It has set up the na tlonul forests--established for the purely commer cial purp'oses of lumbering, grazing and forest protection-- as competitors of the national parks In outdoor recreation. . It has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars In building roads and establishing centers for purely recreation purposes. The charge Is made that It opposes the creation of national parks--because national parks are usually taken from national forests. It would transfer the nutional service bodily from the Interior department to the Agricultural department. There are strong intimations in the tentative program that this warfare between the two departments will be stopped and the question settled. There is also the further Intimation that there may be established a new class of recreation reservations, possibly under control of new kind of administrative body. & ' The discriminating reader has wubtless noted that the pictures herewith are something entirely new--photographs of national park scenery from airplanes. Such photography Is exceedingly difficult and dangerous because of air conditions among tbe high peaks. The Tetons (about 13,000 feet) are In western )Vyoming, are famous landmarks and are Included In the proposed addition to Yellowstone National park. Mount Whitney (14,501 feet) Is the highest mountain In continental United States. It Is In California and Is included in the proposed Roosevelt-Sequoia National park. The photograph of Haleakala (11,000 feet) in the Hawaiian National park shows the grea; crater fuU to the rim of billowing clouds. But the million and more visitors to the national parks and monuments must still go In by car and new roads are continuously being made for them. A small picture shows construction work on the Wind River Canyon highway, near Thermopoiis, Wyo., to be opened this season. The road is part of the Yellowstone highway and the National Park-to-Park highway. It is 13 miles long, 00 per cent of its grading is Solid granite and the cost Is over *500.000.^ It would take pages instead (^ columns to give all the national park news. There are thirteen bills in congress for the establishment of new na tional pnrk« The fitness of Bryce canyon In Utah has been officially established.

Senator Shortrldge of California has introduced a bill providing for their use in the parks; they now go into the treasury. Congress has just parsed a bill authorizing the making of a road budget In the national parks and monuments which calls for $7,500,000 to be spread over a three-year period.

A third of Germany's foodstuffs baa always hitherto been Imported. This year's bumper harvest Is as lurge at last year's, plus last year's Importations, and a, surplus still remains that will enable Germany to export food for the fii&t time in modern history.
