CLIFFORD PINCHOT
is AGAINST BILL

WASHINGTON, d. c., June g.
Clifford Pinchot former chief forest
er. to-day forcibly declared himself
against the administrations land
withdrawal bill now in the Senate.
asserting that II passed the bin will
operate directly for the benefit OF
the water power interests and directly
against the interest OF the people"
Pinchot opposes the bill mainly for
two reasons-hrst, because Of the pro-
wisdom for mineral entries: second. be-
cause the measure does not validate
existing Withdrawals.
-'The people still own enormously
valuable water power sites on the
public lands and national forests, :"
said Pinchot. These sites should
never be sold. but should be held by
the government and leased to men
who will develop and operate them.
The withdrawal bill gives the Presi-
dent the right to protect these sites
for the people by withdrawing them
from disposal and this Is a good
provision. But It also provides that
If certain minerals can be found
upon them, these sites can be taken
away from tho people. Even If false
claims are made that mineral has
been found---the section says minerals
other than coal. oil, gas or phosphate
then the burden OF proof Is upon
the government, which must go to
the trouble and expense OF defend
ing the rights which IL is the OBJ
1ect OF the bill to secure.
'This bttl Is the only ono of the
conservation measures which appears
to have any chance or being enacted
al this session. When properly
amended 1t should pass. The people
still have coal lands of enormous
value In Alaska, which should never
be- disposed OF except under tempo
rary lease. These lands are now
Withdrawn from disposal. but the
wtthTira wafs may ne held tn expire
when Congress adiourns, or soon at
ter. For that reason II Is most i'm
portant that a bill authorizing fur
Their Withdrawals should be passed
before adjournment. There will he
no excuse il Congress falls TO au-
thorize Withdrawals. and these with
drawals, when authorized. must ac-
tuaIly accomplish what they set out
TO do"
Pinchot frankly admitted that he
would lobby against the present
bill
