TOWARD CONSERVATION
In Letter TO DR.. Lyman Abbot Makes
Plain the Issue at Hand--Says Con-
gress Must Declare at Coming Ses-
sion Whether Coal Lands and Other
Resources Shall be GobbIed up by
MOnopOlics.

Washington, Dec. Clifford Pin
chot, chief of the United States forest
service has again thrown down the
gauntlet to Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger in regard to the conser>
walton policy. He declared that con-
gress must decide at its coming ses-
sion whether the great coal fields OF
the country shall remain in the hands
OF the people or be gobbled up by
monopolies, and whether great water
power sites shall be given away to
special interests or be controlled by
the people.
Mr.. Pinchot makes known his views
upon these two chief sources of power
OF the present and future, in letter

response to a series of questions asked

walton policy.
Referring TO the development of
water power and coal fields. the chief
forester declares that in most cases

best be done by private interests act

Is neither good sense nor good morals
to let these valuable privileges pass
from the public ownership FIR moth

In answer to DR.. Abbott's question:
What is the danger of the conser-
walton policies in the coming session
of cOngress?' Mr.. Pinchot declares
! that it is that the privilege of the few
may continue to obstruct the rights
of the many, especially in the matter

made deep impression. The arch
bishop strongly opposed Lord Lans-
downe's resolution, declaring that it
would be unprecedented for the lords
to reject financial bill passed by the
house of commons with such a ma
jorty
Lord CurZon was plainly suffering
from his recent indisposition and had
to ask the indulgence Of the house,
but, despite physical weakness which
several times in his 9O-minutes speech
threatened to overcome him, he spoke
with his accustomed vlgor and art
He maintained that the lords had an
absolute right to reject the finance
bill. and he agreed that the country
was on the even of momentous
struggle, which might lead to the re-
form of the house of lords.
Cawder Supports Lords Action.
Earl Cawder, former first lord or
the admiralty, who wound up the de-
bate for the opposition, maintained
that an attempt had been made to
evade the lords ancient right to re-
ject each tax by placing all taxes on
one bill. 1t was ideal to pretend. he
said, that such a change of procedure
by the house of commons could af-
feet one iota of the responsibilities
and duties of the second chamber
He quoted Premier Asquith as stating
on assuming the premiership that
the function of the house of lords
was to check slovenly and precipitate
legislation. This, Earl Cawder
thought fairly represented the action
the lords proposed to take. Refer
ing to tacking on license proposals.
