resource. Almost every other nation
of any size, it has been pointed out,
is ahead of America in the use of
water power. This fact, it is said,
coupled with the growing demand of
the people of the United States that
something be done so that the coun-
try can utilize, as well as conserve,
this vast resource, is regarded as the
basis of the decisive action by the
Conservation Congress.
The meeting was made up of
prominent experts in both federal
and state governments, senators and
representatives and prominent men
from practically every state in the
Union. DR.. Henry S. Drinker, presi-

man of the committee on resolutions,
which included governor of a state,
several senators, and other men of
affairs from forty-two states.
