The leasing system. Secretary Fisher
thinks, Is the method for private ex-
ploitation Of government owned coal
lands which best can protect the pub

hands and properly conditioning the
lease, II will be possible to protect the
public from extpriion
such a policy Mr. Fisher holds en- :
tirely consistent with the principles of
conservation. Although he believes a
long time lease for Il nominal consjd
