Conservation Policy Endan-
geredBy States Rights Move,
He says-Must Steer
Careful Course.

Washington. Jan. 9"Onc of the
great battles in the fight for conserva
tion is just ahead declared Clifford
Pinchot in an address at the annual
meeting here today of the American
Forestry association. He attacked a
movement, which he said was on
foot. to turn the national forests over
to the states.
Behind the stalking horse of states
rights. said MIR. Pnchot there is
preparing a most dangerous attack ON
the whole policy of conservation.
1T is an attack i'm which men of
high principle are fighting side by side
with men whose principles live in
their pockets and for that reason il is
doubly To be feared
From the beginning. it was upon
the forest service that the burden of
defending the conservation policy
chiefly lay. said MIR. Pinchot i'm con-
cllsion. 1t is ON the firing line NOW
It's defeat would mean the defeat ol
the whole policy of conservation.
The association concluded its session
with the election of officers.

PROFIT BY DAVIS DEATH

Washington, Jan. 9.--Iata, combined
With skillful generalship, is beginning
to make the outlook brighter for the
old guard democrats in the Senate,
who for a time We're in danger of being
unhorsed by the newer and more pro-
sressive members of their party
The olatimers. like Senator Martin,
ttular leader. Senator simmons. chair
man of the finance committee. Senator
l9ankhead on .Aiabama and others al
lied With them. are beginning to lay
CLAIM tu victory in the fight over re-
organization ol the Senate.
Gain BY Davis Death.
While it mas not been generally un-
dcrstood. the death of Senator JEFF
Davis. of Arkansas. was a blow to the
ins,rgent democrats and a gain for
the old guard. Indications are that
Senator Davis will be succeeded by
conservative. IL senator who Will align
with the Martins -Bankhead
forces In fact. there is reason to be-
l"Ne Il plan is being carefully engi-
neered from Washington to bring about
in Arkansas the election of a senator
who will stand With the Senate con-
Servatives Senator Clarke. of Arkan-
sas. has gone to the state. He Is a
conservative. an ally of the Martin
side of the Senate. He will use his
influence. and it will be material, to
bring about the election of a conserv-
atiNe democrat who will be an access
sion to that element of democrats in
the Senate.
The situation as between the demo-
cratic factions in the Senate is close
and therefore the loss of Senator Davis
and his replacement by a conservative
may prove decisive of the struggle. At
the same time. ii appears the conserva-
tives lately have been making other
gains.
Has James BoIted?
Word went around today that Sem
| ator- elect Ollie James. of Kentucky,
| had surprised the natives by lining up
| on the Martin Simmons side. He was
| counted on as certain to oppose them
and work With the radical or progress
i've democrats. Instead, he has got in
to the Martini Simmons chariot and
this has caused serious depletion In
the progressive democratic forces OF
tho forces fighting for the overthrow
oi the old regime of seniority.
Senator stone. of Missouri, and Sem
ator Reed. of Missouri. are also lin-
ing ,lp ON the Martin Simmons side.
The recent losses of the democratic
insurgents are such that it now looks
doubtful whether they can win. Among
other things the old guard democrats
have been reaching out skillfully to
the democratic senators elect and try
ing to draw them into the conserva-
tiNc fold
Friends of Senator Simmons now
say with the utmost positiNeness that
he cannot be beaten for Craftsmanship
of finance. Similarly. Senator Martin
