Oil Duty and Conservation
Economic. Interest Of the Whole
People To Be Considered

To tho Editor of This Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent E. B.
Reeser, responding to your question
"On what theory or national benefit"
IS the Fordney proposed duty on oil "tp
be levied?" says it is Conservation,
As in the case of liberty, it seems to BE-
possible TO commit crimes, in the mans
of that most necessary national virtue,
conservation. Mr.. Reeser uses the word
in a derived, anti-national, perverted
sense.
Conservation does not mean the ruth
less exploiting of natural resources 70.
the benefit OF the promoters of any In
dustry, however deserving" Real con-
servation is the utilization Of these re-
sources IN suck way as Least to I'M
pair their value for future use, for the
sustaining of those who are to ooras
after US. 1t is not conservation, to H.
lustrate, to protect the lumber inter-
csts by shutting out timber products
from Canada and elsewhere, thus
tempting lumbermen to sweep clean
our forest ares, reckiessly running the
young growth and making no provision
for refreshing; all in the mad scram-
bic for the profits of the moment.
In the case of oil Dir. Reeser makes
it clear that he wants to keep up or
enhance the price Of that product at
the expense of the whole people in or
der that a relatively small class OF
business, men may make profits they
could not make if the people had the
opportunity TO buy IN the open markets
of the world. He is pleading for the
immediate economic interest Of
class, no matter what the effect on the
economic interest Of the general pub
lie, and, indeed, seemingly without Sc
rious consideration Of tbs longtime
economic interest of the class itself.
Our oil will keep; it is not necessary
or wise to pump it all out in day OF
a decade, or generation. Il we csn
import oil from the virgin fields "a
other lands more cheaply than we esn
produce it from our own partly
drained reservoirs, good; let us DO It.
Such conservation Is a sound form OF
preparation for eveutualities. unfor-
tunately, war is rot horror OF the
past only; ws easily might fnd QUE
selves shut out from the other OIL
fields Of the world and then would re-
gret most bitterly our irnproviderce OF

The Great Lakes Precedent
Armament Limitation in 1917 AS
sured Amcrican-Canadian Peace


sured Amcrican-Canadian Peace
(Fron, The Toronto Gtobe)
President Harding, in proposing a
conference Of the principal Allied and
associated powers for the limitation OF
ornaments. has tho support Of prece
dent from which nothing but good has
followed
At tho close Of the War Of 1s12-'lA
President Madison instructed his Sec
rotary Of State, James Monroe, to write
to John Quincy Adams, the American
Minister In London, as follows:
The information you give of orders
having Beer issued by the Britieh gov
eminent to increase IT'S naval force on
tho lakes Is confirmed by intelligence
from that quarter Of measures HAVING
been actually adopted for the purpose
It Is evident II each party Arguments Its
force there with a. view to obtaining the
ascendancy over the other. that vast ex-
persc Will be incurred and the danger
OF collision augmented in like degree.
The President Is sincerely DESTROYS to
prevent an evil wf5ich It 10 presumed is
equally to be deprecated by both gov
ernmentse He therefore authorizes you
to propose to the British government
such an arrangement respecting the
naval force to be kept on the lakes by
both governments az Will demonstrate
their pacific policy and secure their
peace. He is willing to confine 1t on
each side to a certain moderate nunlber
OF armed vessels, ana the smaller the
number the more agreeable to him. or
to abstain altogether from an armed
force beyond that used for the revenue.
You Will bring this subject under the
confederation 81 this grttish government
Immediately after the receipt Of this
letter.
The result was the Rush Bagot Con
vention, signed in Washington on April
20, 1917, by which the United States
and Great Britain agreed to limit their
naval ornaments on the Great Lakes
to total Of four vessels each, not ex-
ceeding 100 tons and equipped with
one 1s-pounder, each government to
maintain one ON Lake Ontario, two on
the upper lakes and one on Lake
Chanplain. The convention was revoc-
able at six months notice, but the
benefits to both countries were so
manifest that it has never been re-
voked. It. is quite possible that the
boundary disputes Of 1s42, 1886 and
1905 we're settled peacefully because
of the absence Of navies from the
Great Lakes. And yet concessions
have been made resting on good faith
between the two countries. Thus, dur
ing the rebellion Of 1878 the British
were allowed to increase their feet
as precaution against
raiders, while similar concessions were
made to the United States during the
Civil War
Canada and the United States have
lived side by side In peace and amity'
for more than a century without the
vast expense" and danger Of col
Iision" which, as President Madison
wrote, would follow naval rivalry on
the Great Lakes.

The Challenge to Go Coatless

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: "A sympathizer's" challenge to
every maIe' Tribune reader to go to
business on q hot day minus his
coat" is excellent. 1t is a painful
sight to see men on hoe days going
about buckled up in heavy coats.
"Synapsthizsr" is right about the
women--most Of them want the men
to- look conifottable and to Be COM
Portable. But, will. the men bear IN
mind that to discard coats" does not
mean to run about in vests or in shirts
and suspenders! It means shirtwaists
and BELTS, or shirts snd BELTS.
Now, men, assert your independence
Of Shocking English custom and be
comic rtable. A WOMAN.

Here are the stones of their leaS-

And here are the tracks that their

And the broken spans of their rotted

Amid tangle of weed and thorn.
They wind on, these roads. past roof

Past cairnlike chimneys. forsaker a M

Past unpruned orchards where vet in
August
The harvest apples hang out their

Where by these roads now the tirelsss

Seeking for grouse, through the

Men once went teudging with cum

Bound for q muster Or trainine day.
Along these roads to the. sprinefin 4

Now the only music amid the stiffness
Is hidden woodbird's srievine cry.

Cling lilacs in riot snd masted grass:
There, where the haymakers passed at

The shy, wild shapes of the forest
