O

WATERTON-GLACIER INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK

FEBRUARY 23, 1932.-Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed

Mr. LEAVITT, from the Committee on the Public Lands, submitted the following

REPORT

[To accompany H. R. 4752]

The Committee on the Public Lands, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 4752) for establishment of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, having considered the same, report thereon with a recommendation that it do pass with the following amendments:

Page 2, line 5, after the word "administration" add a comma and insert "promotion, development".

Page 2, add a period at the end of line 8 and strike out all of line 9. The purpose of this bill is to establish an enduring monument of nature to the long-existing relationship of peace and good will between the people and Governments of Canada and the United States. The State Department of the United States Government has communicated with the State Department of the Canadian Government and has received a reply to the effect that this proposal meets with the approval of the Canadian Government and stating that upon enactment of this legislation to designate Glacier National Park as the United States section of the proposed Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, suitable action will be taken by that Government to designate the Waterton Lakes National Park as the Canadian section.

Glacier National Park in Montana and Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta and British Columbia, in Canada, are in reality a single great scenic area of unsurpassed glory. So closely are they linked that Waterton Lake, which gives its name to the Canadian park, is divided by the international boundary line.

There is no area in America more replete with beauty of the highest order than that comprised within these two national parks. Tremendous mountains with carved cerfs in which the snows and glaciers of countless ages are encompassed, innumerable lakes, each a gem of its kind, canyons of that character described by Robert Service when he speaks of "canyons plumb full of hush"; these are the describable features of this region. But it has about it something indescribable. Perhaps the imminent presence which broods over it and which is universally felt may best be described as peace.

The region itself gave rise to the thought behind the movement to combine these two parks of Canada and the United States into one international park, dedicated as a monument to the peace and good will which has for so many generations existed between the two peoples. It first took form at a meeting of Rotarians from Montana and Alberta held at Waterton Lakes last year.

The measure does not contemplate any change in the handling of the two parks. The one will still be the Waterton Lakes National Park and the other Glacier National Park in so far as administration is concerned. Undoubtedly the working out of road and trail improvements in the future would have more fully in mind the international significance of the two. People of all nations visiting the one would be compelled by the very thought and intention of the proposal to visit the other.

The result would be the creation of a monument to international good will which, it is hoped, will become as eternal as the mountains. of the international park.

The Secretary of the Interior, under whose jurisdiction Glacier National Park is administered, has given his unqualified approval to the enactment of this legislation. It likewise has the approval of the director of the national parks. The Secretary's favorable report

reads:

Hon. JOHN M. EVANS,

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
Washington, February 23, 1932.

Chairman Committee on the Public Lands,

House of Representatives.

MY DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: This will refer to your letter of December 17, inclosing copy of H. R. 4752 entitled "A bill for establishment of the WatertonGlacier International Peace Park," with request for a report thereon.

This legislation, if enacted, and upon the enactment of similar legislation by the Canadian Government, would provide for the establishment, by presidential proclamation, of an international peace park to be formed by the adjoining areas now known as the Glacier National Park in the United States and the Waterton Lakes National Park in the Dominion of Canada, for the purpose of permanently commemorating the long existing relationship of peace and good will between the two Governments.

The Canadian Government has been informed of the purpose of this legislation, and I have been advised, through the State Department, that the Canadian Government is in favor of the establishment of the international park as proposed and that if the United States takes action toward that end, it will take similar action.

I have carefully considered the provisions of H. R. 4752 and I am favorable to the establishment of the international peace park as proposed and believe the same would be a splendid recognition of the long existing relationship of peace and good will between the two countries. In fact, I can not conceive of a finer monument in commemoration of the enduring friendship between the Canadian and American people.

I favor the passage of this bill with two amendments so that in the establishment of this international park the United States section thereof will not lose its identity as the Glacier National Park by which it has become known by the people of the Nation over a long period of time.

The following amendments are suggested: (1) Page 2, line 5, after the word

the words "promotion, development,".

administration" insert a comma and add

(2) Page 2, line 8, add a period at the end of the line and strike out entire line 9. With amendments as indicated above, I recommend that H. R. 4752 be given favorable consideration by Congress.

Very truly yours,

RAY LYMAN WILBUR.

The bill as amended by the committee reads as follows:

[Insert words printed in italics and omit portion in brackets]

A BILL For establishment of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park
