Liberal Conservationism

II Is hardly accurate for the presi-
dent to say, as he said recently in
Denver. that the cause of conserva-
tion has been carried TO extremes
That important and too long neg
Iected cause has seemed in some
cases to be unenlightencd and OBJ
structive, mainly because the
special interests in their rushing
lorays against the common heritage,
have kept conservationists SO busy In
mere defense that they have had
little chance to proceed with a con-
structive programme.
For example, the most aggressive
friends of conservation have been
eager TO open up the Alaska coal
lands under new and better laws
than those that now exist. The long
delay In the development OF the
Alaskan coal measures has beer due
not to the conservationists. but to
the fact that the Guggenheimer syn
dictate and allied interests, so in
fluential at Washington, have pre-
ferred that the old laws should stand
so long as there seems to be any
chance to circumvent them.
iii to he hoped that these in
terests have now begun to learn the
lesson that the way to get leberal
laws for the development of Alaska
is to quit being lawless. ---chicagc
