from settlement 100000 acres Of
public lands, and the substitution
thereof Of q withdrawal order. with
holding from settlement 100000 acres,
Sunday was declared by Mr.. Ballinger
to have been wholly promotive-
subversive-of the conservation po-
icy.
A lengthy explanation Of his cancel
lation of the GARFIELD withdrawal was
given to the press by Mr.. Ballinger.
who asserted that it was q logical step
in the preparation OF the policy Of
conserving the waterpower on the fed
eral domain. and one which Mr.. Gar
field must have taken himself had he
remained in ONCE.
THE first order was blanket with
drawal issued to meet an emergency
and without taking time to ascertain
just where the power sites were
located" Secretary Ballinger said. I'm
telligent prosecution Of the policy de-
manded that as soon as possible there
after these sites be located and the
lands not needed to protect them be
restored to entry. It would be an un-
warranted reflection on Secretary Gar
field to assume that he would not
have done precisely what did-ascer-
tain as soon as practicable where the
power sites we're actually located and
issue a new order Withdrawing them
from settlement and restoring to
entry all lands not needed for that
purpose.
Il found that by utilizing the geo
logical survey instead Of the reclama-
ton service, which had been employed
by my predecessor, I would secure &C
curate information as to the location
Of the power sites. On consultation
with the legal officers of my depart
ment, found that could make with
jrawal order retroactive: that Is, that
which would .effectually protect any
power sites within any entries which
might have been made in the interim.
The retroactive provision of the sub
sequent Withdrawals operated COM
pletely to conserve the sites.
Not a single power site has passed
out of the possession of the govern
ment during this administration" con-
tinued the secretary.
"As a matter of fact, the withdraw
ais order by me protected so per cent
more power sites than were con-
served by the Garfield order. This i'm
plies 20 criticism of the Garfield or.
der and merely shows that the Gar
deld ordered was tentative"
Secretary Ballinger stated that his
orders of withdrawal do not protect
power sites within forest reservations,
and added in explanation that previ-
ously he had offered to include power
sites on forest reservations, but that
the offer was declined on the ground
hat the forest service could take care
of such sites. The secretary asserted
hat a number of factors caused his
course to be misunderstood and mis-
represented, but some of these he was
not at liberty to discuss.
