CONGRESS PROBABLY WILL HELP MOVEMENT

Selection of Gifford Pinchot to Invite Two Neighboring Countries Regarded as a Wise Move.

By Sheldon 8. Clinc. Washington, Dec. CI. President Roosevelt is determined that his good work in initiating the general movement for the conservation of the country's natural resources shall not go for naught. His fondest hope is that before he retires to private life next

March this movement, which aims at protecting the natural wealth of the wholQ country, will bear fruit in the adoption by Congress of some definite plan of conservation. The President 1 1 kn n mi - annnvll lha ret ctorial 1

The progress of the movement has become so marked that it will be ope of , the great heritages of the Taft administration. Plan Third Conference. The movement already has taken the form of two notable conferences in this city, one at which the governors of the principal states were present, and a subsequent one which was participated in by the leading conservation advocates, including President Roosevelt, President-elect Taft. Gifford Pin

chot, Andrew Carnegie and other distingvtshed men. The President now plans a third conference to be held on February JS next in this city. He has extended invitations to Canada and Mexico, siiggestinp that those countries send reprecentatives to confer with regard to a plan of conservation

that involve the material progress of

the whole of North America. Ideas of Roosevelt. ' In taking this step the President has ' tn mind a two-fold plan, in its elabor

ateness entirely in keeping with 111 MM . TTJ A A J

the movement so-that its scope will

include the whole of the North American continent and thereby insure the perpetuation of the Roosevelt conservation ' policies. Second, to create such a demand for definite conservation, through awakening the interest of the entire people, that Congress will join with the states and appropriate money, for the preservation of forests and the protection of navigable " streams. tIf the President could feel assured that In the near future Congress would expend money liberally to check the present alarming waste of the country's natural resources he would go from the .White House satisfied that his "work in this direction had been well directed. While he has some assurance that this will be done, his tnind would be easier were there not now indications that his successor's rth will be be.et ;with some of the

obstacles that have Impeded the progress of the conservation movement Bince Its inception namely, the opposl-

- tion of Congress to any considerable expenditure for forest preservation. Too New for Congress. This opposition became marked when the House at the last session blocked the passage of the Appalachian Forest Reserve bill, , a measure providing for the purchase of a forest tract of some five million" acres extending through Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York. Speaker Cannon thought he detected private gain behind the measure and it was never reported out of committee. -This opposition, however, should not te confounded with opposition to the protection of forest lands already owned by the Government, though a

popular impression prevails in som quarters that Congress, . in refusing to

appropriate large sums for the pur

chase of forest lands, is taking- the

ground that no forest protection . 13 needed. It may be said that the subject is too new to have taken deep root In Conn-ess. though it has lately gath-

the movement grows, and as the impression gains in Congress that indifference to the President's advice on this subject will result in the country's resources becoming bankrupt, there is little doubt that each succeeding Cou.gress will appropriate a sum sufficient to cover the needs of meritorious plans for conservation in various parts of the country. To further impress Congress with the growing importance of a definite conservation policy, therefore, . the

President has hit upon this third conference.He has drawn into his plans

two countries whose boundaries, because they lap ours on the north and south, make it important- that they cooperate in the scheme. Pinchot Wise Choice. In naming Gifford Pinchot, chief forester of the United States and chairman of the national conservation commission as his personal representative to convey invitations to the Governor General and Premier of Canada and President Diaz -of Mexico. Presi

dent Roosevelt has chosen wisely. It

is doubtful if any man in the federal service today could -ijnpress the heads of these sister governments with the importance of President Roosevelt'3 plans as can Mr. Pinchot. His especial fitness in. this" .capacity has come

about as the result of years of study of the kindred su" !ects of forest pres-; ervatlon and the protection of stream sources. At the coming conservation congress besides representatives of Canatfa and Mexico, there are likely to be present leading conservation advocates in this country, including many of the governors who participated in the former gatherings. President Roosevelt believes the movement of sufficient importance to attract friends of conservation from all parts of the world. If the only tangible result is additional publicity for the subject, without any

definite action by Canada and Mexico

toward the adoption of a conservation

plan, the President will feel amply re-

.paid. He realizes that in such a movement as this success is to be achieved only by "keeping everlastingly at it."
