Urges New Conservation
Drive at Corner Stone
Laying Ceremony.
ICKES SUPPORTS STAND
Suggests Changing Name of
Interior Department to
Reflect Policy.
By United Pres

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April Is.
President Roosevelt called
on the nation today to carry
on with renewed vigor the
governments policy of con-
serving natural resources.
The chief executive spoke at the
corner stone laying of the new $12,-
100000 Department of Interior
building now under construction.
Secretary of Interior Harold L.
IckeS joined the President in urg-
ing conservation of resources and
called on Congress to change his de-
partments name to 1.-The Depart
ment of Conservation"
High officials of the government
were in the crowd that heard Mr..
Roosevelt review what already has
been done along conservation lines
and saw him lay the corner stone
with the trowel used by George
Washington when he started con-
Struction of the national capital in
1893
Lauds Theodore Roosevelt
"a nation less bountifully en-
dowed than ours" he said, with
out national policy of conserva-
ton would have ceased to exist long
ago. The remarkable thing was that
the people of the United States were
SO complacent for so long in the
face of exploitation, waste and mis-
management, yes, even larceny, OF
the national wealth that belonged
to all the people"
He traced the pioneering efforts
of Theodore Roosevelt along the
lines of natural resources preServa-
ton, adding.
He, for the first time, made the
people conscious that the vast ma
tional domain and the natural re-
sources of the country were the
property of the nation itself and not
that of any class, regardless of its
privileged status.
Battle Must Go On
Supported by an awakened coun.
try which by now is beginning TO
realize the truth of the old warm
ings We of this Administrator have
devoted or thoughts and energies
to the conservation OF our Cod
given wealth.
Employing every agency of gov
ernment at hand to protect our
birthright We have in the last sew
eral years made advances far be-
yond the hopes of earlier day con-
seryationiSts But the battle goes
on and must be carried forward
with renewed vigor if future genera
tionS are to receive the full bene-
fits that are their due"
The President gave a brief his
tory of the development of the In.
terror Department from 'one-
clerk organization in 1849 TO the
vast body it now is.
Ickes Fears Continued Waste
Mr.. Ickes, in calling upon Con-
gresS to enact the pending bill to
change the name of his organiza-
ton said that would be declara-
tory OF the intention of the United
States government henceforth to 90
forward with policy of conserva-
ton of our natural resources.
1T stands to reason that until we
consciously and deliberately, with
our eyes to the future, make some
such affirmative declaration, the
stupid waste of those resources will
continue"
