In his address at the auditorium
today Mr.. Roosevelt said in part:
Conservation does not mean non
use or non development it does not
mean tying up of national resources
of states, il means utilization of those
resources under such regulations and
control as will prevent waste, ex-
travagance and monopoly but at the
same time not merely permit, but en-
courage, such use and development as
Will serve the interests of the people
generally.
This country has shown definite
signs of waking up to the absolute
necessity of handling its natural re-
soTfces with foresight and common
seyns. The conservation question has
thitt sides. In the first place the
nee kless waste of the natural re-
soufes must be stopped. 1t is rap
idly becoming well-settled policy of
this people that We of this generation
hold the land in part for the next
generation. and not exclusively for
our own enjoyment. Just as the
farmer is good citizen If he leaves
his farm improved and not impaired
for his children, and a bad citizen il
he skins the land in his own selfish
interest. so the nation behaves well
II it treats the natural resources as
assets which it must turn over to the
next generation increased and not
impaired in value, and behaves badly
If II leaves the land poorer to those
who come after us.
Development is an indispensable
part of the conservation plan. The
forests, the mines. the water powers
and the land itself. must all be put to
use. Those who assert that conserva-
ton proposes to tie them up, depriv-
ing this generation of their benefits
rder to hand them on untouched
