purposes By the wise exercise Of exec
 utive power and the enforcement or law,
 President Roosevelt stopped the dealings
 of the public domain and the waste of
 natural resources"
 Only lately, said the speaker. had the
 power of the executive to make such
 withdrawals been questioned. He said he
 believed it was the right of the federal
 government to deal with these problems,
 as follows:
 (A). The right to occupy and use lands of the United States for hydraulic and electric works, to generate and distribute power. is entirely distinct and separate from the right to appropriate and pro- vide for waters flowing through and upon lands of the United States. (B). This right of the United States to dispose of the right to occupy and use its lands for hydraulic work does not in- terfere with state control of water ap- propriation. On the contrary, it affords a basis for cooperation of state and na- tion.
 (C). Under the existing law, the proper administrative officer of the government Is fully authorized to grant the occu- pancy and use of its lands for the devel- opment of water power, but such grant Is by the statute expressedly made re- vocable by him or his successor. in his
 discretion.
