 Paris, August 25.-Following the cab inet council today over the Moroccan situ- ation it became known the instructions give Ambassador Canlbon form an im- portant step toward an erupture or an accord, depending how the German gov ernment receives the proposals

ONE VIEW OF CONSERVATION.

When conservation Is considered
Pinclot seems TO be the father u IN,
idea, and Roosevelt appears as hi.
outaeljer The Pincnot idea. as gath
cred from his letter relating 10 the
Controller Bay affair. looks like this
That the needs Of the contemp0ra-
neous public which would be supplied
by the development of Alaskan re-
sources should be ignored II the sale
OF public lands under existing laws
would enable anybody an opportunity
% make money by supplying those
needs. Mr. Pinchot IS panied when
he recognizes encouragement Of en-
terprise that would develop Alaskan
resources and permit those assuming
the conduct of the enterprise a chance
10 make money.
There mas been criticism Of Pinchot
for taking this stubborn stand 1t
has been based on the assertion that
he harbor a desire TO block Alaskan
development IN order 10 help relatives
and friends with money invested in
going businesses in the Eastern Unit
ed States that would be subjected 10
competition IN part OF their selling
field were the rich resources Of Alas

much resorted - by Pinchot does not.
make them decent. The problem to-
be considered Is ono OF political econ
practical expediency. Shall
there be development Of Alaskan in
dustrial resources. or should they be
locked up for use when the present
Of men have passed away?
Reading conservationist literature
one would get the impression that 1he
great thing TO do when any source OF
industrial wealth is discovered is to
discourage its utiization-to save 81
for posterity If Pincnot principles
had prevailed IN this country would |
the United States be the nourishine
