Edward A. Sheran, associate chief
forester of the department of agricul

in the hearings before the commission.

"The solution of America’s print
paper problems lies' in the develop

The government has taken steps to
open up immense tracts of timber to
pulp and paper mills, and the threat
ened shortage of paper can be averted
through immediate development.”
The Tongas and Chugach forests
contain seventy-seven billion feet of
hemlock and spruce, according to pre
liminary surveys. The government is
taking steps to develop the pulpwood
industry in the Tongas district. Both
districts are accessible to shipping

These forests will be divided into four
