Move Is Forecast To Spread Idea of National Parks Association Is Told Latin America Offers Rich Field for System A move to interest other American countries in building up national park systems of outstanding native scenery and historic sites may soon be made by the National Parks As- sociation, since 1919 self-appointed watchdog of United States national parks in particular and champion of national parks in general. Last night at the 21st anniver- sary banquet of the association at the Cosmos Club members and guests heard Dr. Wallace W. At- wood, president of Clark Univer- sity, Worcester, Mass.,, recommend such a move. Dr. Atwood is a past president of the association and chairman of a special committee on nature pro- tection of the Pan-American Insti- tute of Geography and History. He recently completed a tour of Latin America to find out how far the southern democracies had gone in preserving their natural and his- torical heritage for posterity. Finds Some Starts Made. Only in Argentina, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and to some extent, Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador and Guatemala, he found, had made starts on national park systems. “Most of our sister nations to the south are in the stage of park de- velopment in which the United States found itself in the 1870s,” he said. Dr. Atwood said he thought a good will party should be sent southward to do park missionary work in getting other countries started along the same lines which have been followed in the United States. He backed up this state- ment with colored slides of areas, which, in his opinion, the southern republics should start preserving for future generations, either because of their outstanding scenic values or because of their archeological and historical worth. The other speaker at the banquet, Newton B. Drury, secretary of the Save-the-Redwoods League, warned the association of conditions in park administration throughout the country which threaten the main- tenance of the country’s great primeval parks in the condition originally intended for them. Sees Danger as Subtle. ‘There are trends of thought and attitudes of mind that need con- stantly to be resisted, he said, add- ing that these are far more subtle dangers that the National Parks Association has been accustomed to fight in the past—commercial en- croachment and use of parks for local and selfish interests. Mr. Drury, after outlining what California, where he serves ag an executive of the State Park Com- mission, has done in the preserva- tion of the native landscape, listed the subtle dangers, to which he referred as follows: 1. Bureaucracy—“the making of administrative turmoil an end in itself instead of a means.” 2. Showmanship—*“reveling in at- tention and plaudits, discriminating and otherwise; intent on building up an increasing public by being all things to all men; not contend with a simple, clean-cut task well done.” 3. Technical virtuosity — “armed with ample funds, great groups of well-trained, earnest men—road builders, fire preventionists, land- scapers, dam constructors, soil ero- sionists—all secure in the mastery of their technique and eager to dis- play it, mobilize upon the unsuspect- ing landscape. Used in moderation, and where fitting, with their efforts co-ordinated, they are invaluable.” Use Also Destructive.

Drury, left, secretary of the S8ave-the-Redwoods League and an executive of the California State Park Commission; Dr. Wallace W. Atwood, president. of Clark University, and Dr. John C. Merriam, president emeritus of the Carnegie Institution of ‘Washington, who were the speakers at the 21st anniversary banquet of the National Parks Association at the Cosmos Club last night. public enjoyment simply because the people own the land. California has gotten around this latter danger, Mr. Drury said, but setting up three separate kinds of park areas—the historic or archeo- logical park, the area set aside for outdoor sports and other forms of intensive recreation and the areas set aside to protect outstanding native beauty. These latter, he said, are kept in a wilderness state and are not permitted to be destroyed by ill-advised uses. Dr. John C. Merriam, president- emeritus of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, president of the Pan- American Institute of Geography and History, president of the Save- the-Redwoods League and a trustee of the association, did not deliver a speech he was scheduled to make. He announced his talk would be printed publicly in the near future. Presiding at the banquet was Wil- liam P. Wharton, president of the association. Henry Baldwin Ward, vice president, was toastmaster. Following the speeches, John V. Hansen, vice president of the Ama- teur Cinema League and interna- tionally known photographer and optical, mechanical and givil engi- neer, showed a series of films in color entitled “The Glory of Our National Parks.” The Netherlands purchased in a recent month nearly $75,000 worth of parachutes made in the United States.
