NATIONAL PROGRAMS REQUIRED AND RESPONSIBILITY 



FOR THEM 



The preceding discussions have presented the essential facts of the 

 forest land and timber supply situations, the status of forestry on 

 public and private lands, and the present degree of public aid and con- 

 trol extended to private forestry. The following sections endeavor to 

 outline the programs of action which must be initiated in all branches 

 of forestry in the near future if the obvious requirements of land use 

 and timber supply are to be met successfully. These programs cover 

 a wide range of activity, but with a unity of purpose that serves to 

 combine them into a broad national plan. The final section brings to- 

 gether the costs for all programs, and develops ways and means of 

 financing public programs. Division of responsibility for forest 

 activities and needs is discussed, and the legislation needed to carry 

 out the different forestry programs is summarized.
