The campaign to unite and coordinate
all efforts for the conservation OF natural

committee on cooperation, which was
authorized by the governors conference

organizations concerned with the conser-

members, six of them chairmen of state
conservation commissions and flve men,

mission.
Besides the national conservation. thir-
ty-sevent states already have conserVa-

tional organizations have appointed con-
servation committees. 1t is the purpose
of the joint committee on cooperation to
formulate a. working plan. which will as
sign to each of these bodies definite
part in the work and to coordinate the
parts so that effective practical results
will be accomplished. The members of
the joint committee realize that since

rious conservation bodies which have
been actively at work for several months
are sending in suggestions based on their
own experience. The Joint committee
will review all these recommendations
and from them 1t hopes to construct a
plan of organization.
