Arno B. Cammerer, acting director of the National Park Service, answers Hamilton M. Higday’s questions regarding water power in National Parks areas by providing a brief overview of relevant legislation. Cammerer states that National Parks have tended to be established “only where natural, primitive conditions can be maintained for all time,” and that the presence of commercial use of lakes and waterways would discourage the area from being considered for inclusion in a National Park.
