But that law can- not solve the American forestry prob- lems It can only help. The forestry problem, outside our natlonal forests, is very largely a State problem. That means that the States themselves must enact supplemental legislation to round out and make effective a national pel Worest fires are the great men to forest resources. Adequate fire protection, although primarily a State function, under the Clarke-McNary law involves three co- operating elements, the Federal Gov- ernment, the States and private own- ers.
