Talks on Conservation.
Mr. RooseVclt's main address was
on conservation, and was as follows:
This country has shown definite signs
| Of waking ND to the absolute necessity or
handling its natural resources with fore
| sight and common sense. Tho conserNa-
I ton question has three sides. In the hrSt
/ place, the needless waste or the naturi
resources must be stopped II is rapidly
becoming a wcll-scttled policy Of this peo-
ple that we of this generation hold the
land in part for the next generation. ana
not exclusively for nur own SELFISH 'uJoY-
ment. Just as the farmer Is good Gnu
zen IL he leaves his farm improved ana NOT
Impaired for his children. and bad citl-
zen If he skins the land in his own selfish
Interest so the Nation behaves well II IL
treats the natural resources as assets
which IL must turn over to the next gen
Grafton increased and not impaired IN
value. and behaves badly II II leaves the
land poorer to those who come after us.
In the second place, the natural re-
sources must be developed promptly.
completely, and in orderly fashion. 1t Is
not conservation to leave the natural re-
sources undevclopcd. Development is an
Indispensable part NJ the conservation
} plan. The forests, the mines. the water
powers. and the land itself, must all be
put to use. Those who assert that con-
servation proposes To tie them up, dopriv-
Ing this generation Of their benefits in
order to hand them un untouched to the
next miss the whole point of the con-
servation idea. Conservation does not
mean depriving the mon of today of their
natural rights in the natural resources OF
the land All il means is that we of this
generation shall so Use our rights as not
to deprive those who come after us OF
their natural rights in their turn.
In the third place, so far as possible
these resources must be kept for the
whole people and not handed over for
exploitation to single individuals. We do
not intend 10 discourage individual enter
! prise by unwisely diminishing the reward
, for that enterprise. On the contrary, we
