MOTIVE FOR

w tics, and not the prospect of
good fishing and cool summer

Harding to be the first chief executive
to make the 10000 mile trip to Alaska.
The President hopes to wipe the
troublesome issue of conservat ton.

That question. it will be recalled.

welt era. II kept political leaders in
hot water. 1t wrecked the Taft ad-
ninistration, when the Pinchot. Bal
llnger controversy over a national
forestry policy brought the conserva-
ton issue TO a climax.
It had the Wilson regime on edge,
and might have proved embarrassing
had not the war come along, over
shadowing all internal political issues.
Conservation caused the first real
break in President Harding's Cabinet,
when Secretary Fall retired in pro-
test against the influence of the con.
servatiOn forces with the present gov
eminent.
The issue is a very simple one. The

exploitation only under Government

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is

year to remove the forests from Mr.. A
Wallace and place them in the handse

Equally bitter and almost as strong
is the faction of anti-conservationists,

Of natural resources. even as in the

Both factions have made life merry

particular leanings either pro or con

is that Of bringing the two groups to-

they said, would settle the hash

impossible for him to head another
