mat uelJHeT lnQlf-
ference or inertia, nor adverse private
interests, shall be allowed to stand in
the way Of the public good.
The great basic facts are already
well known. We know that our pop-
ulation is now adding about one-fifth
70 its numbers in ten years, and that
by the middle of the present century
perhaps one hundred and fifty million
Americans, and by its end very many
millions more, must be fed and
clothed from the products of our soil.
With the steady growth in population
and the still more rapid increase in
consumption our people will here
after make greater and not less de-
mands per capita upon all the natural
resources for their livelihood, comfort
and convenience. 1t is high time to
realize that our responsibility to the
coming millions is like that of parents
to their children, and that in wasting
our resources we are wronging our
descendants.
We know now that our rivers can
and should be made to serve our peo-
pie effectively in transportation, but
that the vast expenditures for our wa.
terways have not res ,lted in main
tanning, much less in promoting, in
land navigation. Therefore, let us
take immediate steps to ascertain the
reasons and to prepare and adopt a
comprehensive plan for inland-water-
way navigation that will result in Civ
ing the people the benefits for which
they have paid but which they have
not yet received. We know now that
our forests are fast disappearing, that
less than one-f1fth of them are being
conserved and that no good purpose
can be met by failing to provide the
relatively small sums needed for the
protection, use and improvement OF
all forests still owned by the govern
ment, and to enact laws to check the
wasteful destruction of the forests
in private hands. There are differ
ences of opinion as to many public
questions; but the American people
stand nearly as a unit for waterway
evelopment and for forest protection.
We know now that orr mineral re-
sources once exhausted are gone for
ever, and that the needless waste OF
them costs us hundreds of human
lives and nearly 5000 900, 900 year.
Therefore, let us undertake without
delay the investigations necessary be-
fore our people will be in position,
through state action or otherwise, to
put an end to this huge loss and
waste, and conserve both our mineral
resources and the lives of the men
who take them from the earth.
This administration has achieved
some things; it has sought. but has
not been able, to achieve others; ii
has doubtless made mistakes; but all
it has done or attempted has been in
the single. consistent effort to secure
and enlarge the rights and opportun-
tiles of the men and women of the
United States. We are trying to con
serve what is good in our social sys'
TEN, and we are striving toward TINS
end when we endeavor to do away
with what is bad. Success may be
made too hard for some if it Is made
