used for such purposes, and (b) that the Indians should and shall be 

 treated equitably by the Government, it follows that a number of the 

 larger and more important areas of Indian Reservation timber lands 

 should eventually be included in the National Forests. This does not 

 apply to all Indian Reservation timber lands. To such lands, as a whole, 

 the general principles of the national program of forestry would apply. 

 Allotted timber lands, if non-agricultural, would eventually be acquired 

 by the Government or brought under protection and regulation by the 

 State as the owners achieve competency, the same as all other privately 

 owned lands of similar character. Activities under the plan now being 

 considered would deal first with the larger areas suitable for additions 

 to National Forests. Leaving aside existing legal obstacles for the 

 moment, the areas most suitable for direct accession to the National 

 Forests are shown on the following table :
