Secretary Designated a FaIsi-
fier and Unfaithful.
SAYS CLAWS TOLD THE TRUTH
Startling Statement Made by the For
msr Forester Before the Balllneer-
Plnchot Congressional
Committee.

When Clifford Pinchot was called &c
the stand in Washington in the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigation he
made the following statement to tho
congressional committee:
What ] desire to lay before the
committee is a consecutive story OF
my experience with Mr.. Ballinger In
relation 10 the conservation OF natural
resources. Among several other mat.
tiers there are two of principal i'm.
portance to be called to your atten.
ton.
''The first OF these concerns the pol.
icy. devised and inaugurated by the
last administration. OF protecting
against monopolistic control the wa.
ter-power sites owned by the people.
Il shall show you that Secretary
Ballinger entered his office with the
clear determination to make short
work of that policy; that he reversed
II so far as he was allowed TO do so:
that he restored the power sites TO en-.
try without the remotest idea OF re.
withdrawing them, and that finally,
when / charged him last autumn 10
the president with being an enemy OF
the policy OF conservation. he capped
the climax by giving TO the president
himself an explanation OF his conduct
that was essentially false.
The second has TO do with my con.
nection as government officer with
the Cunningham coal cases, and with
the CLAWS charges.
Il shall show you how the forest
service became involved in these
cases. and how CLAWS submitted his
facts TO me
Il believed then, as believe now,
that he told the truth.
Il am convinced now, as was when
he came to me, that CLAWS was
faithful public servant and that the
facts which he presented prove that
Mr.. Ballinger has been unfaithful TO
HIS trust as a servant OF the people |
and as the guardian OF public property |
OF enormous value.
When this story has been told, and
the witnesses whom shall ask you 10 1
call have been heard. you will realize
that the interests OF the people are not
safe In Mr.. Ballinger's hands, and that
the country will demand OF this com.
mittee verdict in harmony with the
general conviction that the secretary
Of the interior has been unfaithful
both TO the public. whose property he
has endangered, and TO the president.
whom he has deceived"
Pinchot testified before the Ballin-
-Pinchot investigating committee
n the national senate and house that
he he'd the consent OF James Wilson,
secretary OF agriculture and MS supe.
nor officer, to write his letter TO Sen.
ltor Dolliver. This Is the letter that
'esulted in Pinchot's dismissal by
President Taft from the forestry SER
