TAFT BEHIND CONSERVATION
Authorizes Clifford PinohOt to Deny
Rumors to Contrary.
President Heartily in Favor of the
Forest Policy and WfIE Not
Disturb Reservations.

Setting forth the attitude Of the Presi-
dent relative 10 the conservation Of the
natural resources Of the country, Clifford
Pinchot. chief forester Of the government.
yesterday issued a statement denying
various rUmOrs puTporting to give the
views Of the Chief Executive.
ANY statement that President Taft IS
not IN sympathy with forestry and the
conservation movement is without founda-
tion." said Mr. Pinchot "On the con
trary, I am authorized by the President
70 say that he Is in entire sympathy with
the forest policy and the conservation
policy as already developed. and stands
behind them.
This statement IS wholly unnecessary
70 those acquainted with the real situa-
ton It is made only in answer TO the
large number OF questions asked me dur
ing my recent trip through the West and
since my return. These questions had to
do with rumors TO the general effect that
the administration is out Of sympathy
with the forest and the conservation
policy. To set these rumors at rest by an
authoritative statement Of what I already
know 20 be the fact. I thought it best 10
lay them before President Taft Accord
ingly. II IS with his authority that I make
the above statement
7 am also authorized by the Presi-
dent 70 deny categorically the story
that great areas are 70 be thrown out
Of the national forests by Presidential
proclamation. The only possible basis
for such a rumor that have been able
10 discover lies in certain plans adopted
by the Forest Service months ago. These
plans were in accord with lines Of policy
long recognized and established. They
were approved by Secretary Wilson and
they provided for a careful examination
and mapping Of the boundaries OF the
national forests and OF theschaTacter Of
the land and the timber and other
growth along these boundaries.
Repeated charges. well known to be
baseIeSs by those actually acquainted
with the situation on the ground. that
the national forests include vast areas
Of agricultural ground. have been made.
Whatever agricultural lands may be
found along the boundaries viii be re-
stored to entry, for one Of the strongest
desires Of the Forest Service nov and
in the past is that any agricultural lands
which may have been included in the
national forests should be open to use
for agricultural purposes. Indeed. this
is already provided for in the act of
June Il. 1896. The Forest Service under
took the mapping Of the national forest
boundaries on its own initiative in the
regular line Of its work an5 in pursu-
ance Of general plans laid years ago.
II have been greatly interested, but
not at all surprised, by the persistent
circulation Of these rUmOrs. President |
Taft's statement TO me, coupled with his |
authority 10 make it public, should set
them at rest once and for all. The /
present administration is in the fullest 1
sympathy with forestry and cOnserva- |
ton. Friends Of these movements should 1
recognize their obligation to the President /
for his prompt and direct support
