What Of the future? For one
thing, we may resign ourselves to
the idea that man will remain q de-
spoiler for along time to come. His
guiding principle is acquisition and
present qualification.
The unfavorable changes for which
he is responsible are the consequence
of his uncontrolled greediness, and
of his mental inertia in the face of
known procedures for conservation
and improvement. Yet conservation
and improved methods of utilization
constitute our only solution. save for
the physicists hopes for new sources
of power.
Unless conservation and better
methods contribute directly to our
pleasure or personal profit their
adoption will be a slow process. IL

manded, such changes in our attitude
may be impossible to bring about.

Man: The Raider
The countless numbers and al.
most countless kinds of organisms,

their living or their dying, the gen.

changes. Organisms have drawn
on the disseminated substances, not
the concentrates. They have never
needed the concentrates. They have
never dissipated the boards of ma.

But with the appearance OF man
has dawned a new regime. He can
use these concentrates, which he
calls mineral resources. And his
use involves dissemination and dis
sipation after he is through with
them. His attitude Is that of a vic

Is PROHIBITION
MEN DISMISSED
IN NEWARK, N. ].

WASHINGTON Sept. % R--With
the dismissal today of 18 prohibition
agents at Newark, plans went forward
for a general cleanup of New Jersey,
regarded by treasury officials as pre-
senting practically every problem of
prohibition enforcement found in the
county.
Assistant Secretary Lowman in
charge of prohibition enforcement, said
the agents we're dismissed for the good
of the service. He also announced
two other men operating out of the
Newark soffice had resigned. The
changes, the first of such magnitude
in the state, came after conference
between a. j. Hanlon, administrator
of New jersey and officials of the
prohibition bureau.
A special report is understood to be
in the course of preparation by a
member of the intelligence unit OF the
bureau, who was detailed for several
months in the New Jersey district to
investigate reports of unsatisfactory
conditions.
The diSmissals today were said by
Lowman to be part of a country wide
cleanup from within initiated by
him upon taking office and is in line
with the policy to obtain more in
vestigators and fewer agents.
