Discussion Of the resolution was

quest.

that all during his administration he
had fought leasing of the naval re-
serves.
In his letter to Senator LaFollette
former Secretary OF the Navy Daniels
said:
II, with tho attorney general, op.
posed the action of the land office IN
the Honolulu land question, which
would have given oil lands worth
many millions of dollars u a company.

dow OF right to them. To uhe very
last days of my administration 1 OPP

been set apart for the navy and the
day would como when the navy must
depend upon it's own oil reserves for a
part Of It's supply.
Ten days before March 4, 1881, !
more than once saw the secretary OF
the interior TO whom applications had
been made 60 lease the oil and I pre-
scntcd the navy's claim and opposi-
ton to any lease OF these reserves.
Secretary Payne refused to approve
tho applications for eases and WAS
very wise and farseeing in so doing.

these reserves. The wisest policy of
conservation, as well ~ the navy's
efficiency in the future, depends
largely upon holding these .

still a gamble whether a majority of
the peasants will receive any appre-
ciable supply for spring planting. The
railways through the heart of the
Samara and Orenburg districts have
been blocked by equinoctiai billiards.
while Moscow was straining every ef-
fort to bring seed to the peasants.
The great eed offensive has been a
dramatic battle against starvation, dis
ease and economic disruption, and In IL
the wcatlicr has dealt heavy blows.
The spring thaw Is following, and It
now appears that, in many districts
