NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Gifford Pin,
chot, chief forester Of the United
States, declared in a speech here today
before a number of prominent publish
ers at the University club that special
interests had made repeated attacks on
the United States forest service and
these attacks had increased IN violence
Just in proportion as the service had
offered effective opposition TO predatory
wealth.
Mr.. PInchot said:
''The American people evidently
have made up their minds that our nat
ural resources must be conserved. That
is good, but it settles only half the
question. For whose benefit shall they
be conservation the benefit of the
many or for the use and profit of the
fewe The great conflict now being
fought will decide. There IS no other
question before us that begins to be, so
tween special interest and equal oppor-
tunity; the interests of the few and the
many; the government of men for hu-
man welfare and government by money
for profit, between the men who stand
for the Roosevelt policies and the men
who stand against them. This is the
essence of the conservation problem to-
day.
III believe in one form of govern
ment and l believe in the golden rule.
But we must face the truth that mono
poly of the sources of production makes
it impossible for vast numbers OF men
and women to earn n fair living. Right
here the conservation question touches
the daily life of the great body of our
people, who pay the cost Of SPECIAL
privilege. And the price is heavy, That
price may be the chance to save boys
from The saloons and the corner gang,
and girls from worse, ard make good
citizens of them instead Of bad.
"The people of the United States
have been the complaeent victims of a
system of plunder often perpetrated
by men who would have been surprised
beyond measure to be accused of
wrongdoing, and many of them who in
their private lives were model citizens.
But they have suffered from curious
moral perversion by which it becomes
praiseworthy to do for corporation
things which they would refuse with
the loftiest scorn to do Tor themselves.
Fortunately for us all, that delusion is
passing rapidly away.
"It is the honorable distinction OF
the forest service that il has been
more constantly, more violently and
more bitterly attacked by representa-,

mans court. This was shown Monday
afternoon when court opened and Clerk
Clutch began to call of the names and

drunkenness and four with vagrancy. Ac-
cording TO Chief Barlow, the scarcity of
the Yagrant is due to the fact that the
word has gone out warning all who wish
TO exist without work TO keep away from
