650 A NATIONAL PLAN FOE AMERICAN FORESTRY 



RECOMMENDATIONS 



National public interest requires that this great and valuable 

 domain now in temporary Federal control be classified according to 

 highest permanent use, and that portions chiefly valuable for forest 

 purposes be placed, in stable public ownership for technical adminis- 

 tration on a sustained-yield basis. The problem is complicated by 

 the scattered distribution of the property and by the financial equities 

 of the States, counties, and Federal Government prescribed by exist- 

 ing legislation.
