Would you allow our native upland forests to be destroyed, and thereby rob us children, by causing floods, erosion and the destruction of our arable lands? Would you not rather insist on the efficient conservation of all upland forests, and thereby save our food-producing lands for the children? Are you going to permit the destruction of such forests by unscientific forest practices for the profit of a few at the expense of the children? Will you act, or silently endure what is now already happening?
