The members who now sign the majority report formulated their conclusions at a recent series of meetings. In speaking of the “animosity” created by differences respecting the con--5 serration of natural resources, the majority of the committee said that the accusers evidently had this policy deeply at heart and were “eridettly disposed tq take a most unfavorable view of the characer and motives of
