for which we have been notorious
and be responsible for the result?
In days gone by our ancestors sold
our patrimony for less cash than was
obtained for the traditional mess of
pottage. They even allowed them to
be taken without compensation. They
permitted our heritage to be despoiled,
the land to be raped. They gave
away the country's water and broad
acres. They proclaimed and carried
out policy of come and get it." To
those who clamored loudest went the
biggest share Of the country's forests,
of its oil and mineral resources.
We must not continue to squander
our resources the same way today,
for there is little left to sell or give
away. The cupboard may not be
bare, as was the case with Old Mother
Hubbard, but at the rate we have
been going it will soon be in that
condition. Now we must ask those
who received immoderate special bene-
fits from the Nation to do a bit in
helping us to improve our national
economy. From those who got a
thousand feet of lumber perhaps we
are asking splinter as taxes in re-
turn; from those who got a square
mile of rich land we may request
enough to preserve an acre for pos
terity; from those who got barrel
of oil we may ask for a teacupful
back-and already the shrieks of
anguish from the greedy are heard
Throughout the land. At this time,
and properly so, we are concerned
with the annual cash budget, that of
the dollars and cents that We must
take in in order to meet our outgo.
But we have not yet projected our
vision to encompass the larger ques-
ton of our national assets. The fact
is that We are guarding our coin
purse and leaving our bill fold open
to be rifled by any and all.
No Agency for Conservation.
Why is it that this country can
so easily run fever over the budget
and at the same time fail to realize
that we have squandered and are
squandering our priceless heritage of
resources which we could never re-
place? Why is it that we become
hysterical over wasting crumbs on the
dining room table and allow loaves
to be purloined from the pantry
shelf?
The reason is that there never has
been and there is not today in the
United States any one agency Of
government responsible for conserv-
ing our natural resources. There is no
central agency of government charged
with this task.
This condition should not endure.
Fortunately, President Roosevelt, while
engaged in balancing the budget, is
looking ahead. He is concerned about
the national wealth that is locked up
in our natural resources. He envisions

ment on that occasion but because
here was . President Of the United
States declaring that the vast national
domain and the other natural re-
sources OF the country belonged to all
Of the people. They were not the
property OF any class.
It Is, therefore, with sense Of
satisfaction and pride that ! am able
to say to the people Of America that
the administration now In Washington
has begun to reverse the one-time
national policy Of exploitation and
waste and Is undertaking q conser-
vation program which is predicated
upon the sound philosophy that our
resources are to be guarded and used
for the greatest good Of the greatest
number OF our citizens.
People Beginning to Awaken.
There Is ample evidence Of this new
direction Of the popular will. An in
creasingly large number Of persons
today have q better understanding Of
the purposes Of conservation and q
keener appreciation Of what the Fed
eral Government is doing to protect
our natural resources. At last the
people themselves are beginning to
recognize the importance of conser-
vation in our national life, both
economically and socially. There are
many instances of this.
In point is the acclaim that has been
accorded the splendid work that is
being accomplished by the Civilian
Conservation Corps.
Among the many other approved
steps which have been taken by the
Government since 1888 and which
have given force and effect to conser-
vatAon, I might mention the program
OF soil conservation and erosion con-
troll. There is now a general accept
ance OF the fact that soil erosion can
be prevented and that its effects can
be overcome In many instances.
I need mention only Grand Coulee
Dam and the Bonneville project on the
Columbia River and the Fort Peck
Dam at the headwaters Of the Missouri
River as steps in the greatest food
control, navigation and irrigation
programs ever undertaken by any
government anywhere. Boulder Dam,
which harnesses the Colorado River,
has been completed and put into
operation ahead of schedule, and COM
pletion Of the significant Tennessee
Valley development is proceeding
rapidly.
Theodore Roosevelt in his auto
biography says that the first work he
took up when he became President was
that of reclamation. Prior to the
Reclamation Act all irrigation was
under private auspices. but from 1902

he has become the Lots wife Of the

Mr.. Pinchot, despite his lack of vision,

Kenny Washington, dusky half
back sensation of the University of
California at Los Angeles, led the
Bruins to a 13-to-0 victory over the
Missouri Tigers today.
The Bruins capped a game, dull for
three quarters, with a final burst of
energy. Their first touchdown came
on a 56-yard march led by Washing
ton.
The second brought 10000 fans to
their feet in the final 80 seconds Of
play. It came when the General
grabbed Tiger pass on his own 10
yard line, galloped pell nell for about
SO yards and lateraled, just as he
was tackled on the 2-yard line, to
Center Johnny Ryland. Ryland fell
across the goal for the score.
The play ended gallant Tiger drive
Of nearly 60 yards to the Bruin 20.

No FrillS to Old Game

THEY know more about the
technique of golf than the
tournament winners of today. And
they didn't have any 20 clubs to do
it with when they were winning.
There weren't any wooden tees,
needed golf balls and clubs for every
shot. Nor did they have greens banked
up against them to hold almost any
kind of shot. They played and they
played it well without all the aids
We have today"
That will be a great gathering of
old-timers. No early to bed stuff for
the veterans. They know they haven't
any keen-faced kids to play against
and they'll shoot the works in the

may have to be poured onto the first

today. The winners of Is years ago
played for pin money as compared
with the purses of 1887 They never
had purse of $4,000 such as they'll
play for at Augusta this week and
what little money they won went for
good time. They played as much
for the fun and love of the game as
the purse and they had a swell time

kid named Hagen was working
EN- up in Rochester with tales of
how he'd win the National Open some
day. He did and Bobby did and golf
became game of great crowds and
great popular appeal, game which
is played today by more than 2,O00,-
600 people, But IS years ago it had
little popular appeal. 1t was a game
for the classes, not for the masses. -

BY HERBERT w. BARKER.


TINE East's twin football power
houses, Pitt and Fordham, have
offered little rebuttal testi-
4 mony to offset Alabama's claim
to a berth in the Rose Bowl game
against California at Pasadena New
Year Day.
The virtual end of the campaign
yesterday saw most of the glamour and
tradition concentrated at Philadelphia,
where Army subdued Navy, 60, in the
annual service battle, but 1t remained
for Pitt and Fordham to keep the Rose
Bowl question alive.
Rams Given Unexpected Fight.
PITT, unbeaten and tied only by
Fordham, took advantage of two
fumbles to whip Dukes Blue Devils
before crowd of 10000 at Durham,
while $1,000 saw Fordham, likewise
unbeaten, spill New York University
after more of dog fight than most
experts had expected, 20-7. Pitts
points against Duke came on a first
period field goal by Frank Souchak
and touchdown jaunt by Dick CASH
al1o as the Panthers held the South
erners pretty well under control all
the way. Fordham mixed its passes
with an effective running game to
NOW down the Violets, who might
have been swamped except for Howard
Dunney's fine punting and Ed Boell's
passing.
Somewhere near 100000 fans
watched the days fun from one coast
to the other and the Army-Navy duel
drew the largest crowd of the season,
100000. Army pushed over the lone
touchdown of the game in the first
period, Jim Craig ploughing over from
the 2-yard line after two passes had
picked up 81 yards. Navy threatened
shortly after the third period opened,
but Army, thanks to some fine punt
ing, held the edge most of the way.
Sid Luckman's passing, plunging and
kicking enabled Columbia once more
to exercise its jinx over Stanford's In
dams, who were lucky to quit Baker
