REPORT OF NATIONAL CONSERVATION COMMISSION In Sending It to Congress Exeoutive Declares Facts Contained In Docu- | ment Constitute an Imperative Call to Action—“Permanent Waelfare of Our People Cannot Exist Save on a Firm Foundation of Material Well Being"—He Defends General Course of His Administration. b.Y ‘Washington, Jan. 22, — President Roosevelt sent to congress today a | message transmitting the report of the | national conservetion commission. He prefaces the report with his own com- ment, stating in vigorous terms his conviction that immediate action is needed if the rightful heritage of pos- | terity in natural resources is to be pre- served. ~The message says: | To the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives: 4 | I transmit herewith a report of the | mational conservation commission, to- gether with the accompanyiag papers. | This report, which is the outgrowth | of the conference of governors last | May, was unanimously approved by the recent joint conference held in this city between the national conserva- tion commission and governors of states, state conservation commissions and conservation committees of great organizations of citizens. It Is there- fore in a peculiar sense representative of the whole nation and aHl its parts. ‘With the statements and conclusions of this report I heartily concur, and I commend it to the thoughtful considera- tion both of the congress and of our people generally. It is one of the most fundamentally important documents ever laid before the American people. It contains the first inventory of its natural resources ever made by any nation. In condensed form it presents a statement of our available capital in material resources, which are the means of progress, and calls attention to the essential conditions upon which the perpetuity, safety and welfare of this nation now rest and must always | contlnue to rest. It deserves and should have the widest possible distribution among the people. The facts set forth in this report constitute an imperative eall to action. The situation they disclose demands that we, neglecting for a time, if need be, smaller and less vital questions, shall concentrate an effective part of our attention upon the great material foundations of national existence, prog- ress and prosperity. Immediate Action Needed. This first inventory of natural re- sources prepared by the national con- servation commission is undoubtedly but the beginning of a series which will be indispensable for dealing intel- ligently with what we have. It sup- plies as close an approximation to the actual facts as it was possible to pre- pare with the knowledge and time available. The progress of our knowl- edge of this country will continually lead to more aceurate information and better use of the sources of national strength. But we cannot defer action until complete rgccnncy in the esti- mates can be ched, because before that time many of our resources will be practically gone. It is not neces- sary that this inventory should be ex- act in every minute detail. It is essen- tial that it should correctly describe the general situation and that the present inventory does. As it stands | | it is an irrefutable proof that the con- servation of our resources is the fun- damental question before this nation and that our first and greatest task is to set our house in order and begin to live within our means. The first of all considerations is the says the Bridgeport Telegram, why some enterprising vender does not of- | fer sand for sale when there is ice on the walk he would be well patronized.

After every possible allow- ance has been made and when every hopeful, indication has been given its full weight the facts still give reason for grave concern. It would be un- worthy of our history And ouwr intelli- gence and disastrous to our future to jhut our eyes to these faets or attempt The peo- ple should and will rightly demand that the great fundamental questions shall be given attention by, their repre- sentatives. 1 do mot advise hasty or 1l considered action on disputed points, but T do urge, where the facts are known, where the public Interest is clear, that neither indifference and inertla nor adverse private interests shall be allowed to stand in the way of the public good. Our Responsibility For the Future. The great basic facts are already well known. We know that our popu- Iation is now adding about one-fifth to it numbers in ten years and that by the present century per- haps 150.04#,000 Americans and by its end very #nany miilions more must be fed and clothed from the products of our soil. With the steady growth in population and the still more rapid in crease fn consumption our people will hereafter muke grearer and not les demands per capita upon ail the natu- rul resources for their liveiihood, com: fort and convenlence. It is high time to realize that our respoasibility to the coming millions is like that of parents to their children and that in wastin our resources we are wronging our de- scendants, We know now that our rivers can and should be made to serve our peo- Pple effectively in (ransportation, but nently exist promoting, navigation. Therefore let us take fm- mediate steps to ascertain the reasons and to prepare and aflopt a compre- hensive plan for inland waterway nav- igation that will result in giving the People the benefits for which they have paid, but which they havg not yet re- ceived. We know now that our forests are fast disappearing, that less than one-fifth of them are being conserved and that no good purpose can be met by failing to provide the relatively s#mall sums needed for the protection, use and improvement of all forests still owned by the government dnd to enact laws to check the wasteful destruction of the forests in private hands. There are differences of opinion as to many public questions, but the American peo- ple stand nearly as a unit for water- ‘way development and for forest pro- tection, ‘We know now that our mineral re- sources, once exhausted, are gone for- ever and that the needless waste of them costs us hundreds of human lives and nearly $300,000,000 a year. There- fore let us undertake without delay the investigations necessary befora our people will be in position through state action or otherwise to put an end to this huge loss and waste and conserve both our mineral resources and the lives of the men who take them from the earth. I desire to make grateful acknowl- edgment to the men both in and out of the government service who have pre- pared the first inventory 6f our natu- ral resources. They have made it pos- sible for this nation to také a great step forward. Their work is helping us to see that the greatest questions before us are not partiéam questions, but questions upon which men of ail parties and ali shad®s of opinion may be united for the common good. Among such questions, on the material side, the conservation of natural resources stands first. It is the bottom round of the ladder on our upward progress to- ward a condition in which the nation as a whole and its citizens as individu- als wlill set national efficiency and the public welfare before personal profit. Industrial Democracy In Danger. The policy of conservation is per- haps the most typical example of the general policles which this government has made peculiarly its own during the opening years of the present century. The function of our government is to tnsure to all its citizens now and here- after their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If we of this generation destroy the resources from which our children would otherwise derive their livelthood we reduce the capacity of our land to support a popu- lation and so either degrade the stand- ard of living or deprive the coming generations of their right to life on this continent. If we allpw great in- dustrial organizations to exercise un- regulated control of the means of pro- duction and the necessaries of life we deprive the Awericans of today and of the future of industrial liberty, a right no less precious and vital than polit- ical freedom. Industrial liberty was a fruit of political liberty and in turn has become one of its chief supports, and exactly as we stand for political democracy so we must stand for indus- trial democracy. The rights to life and liberty are fundamental, and, like other funda- mental necessities, when once acquired they are lttle dwelt upon. The right to the pursuit of happiness is the right ‘whose presence or absence is most likely to be feit in daily life. In what- ever it has accomplished or failed to accomplish the administration which is just drawing to a close has at least seen clearly the fundamental need of freedom of opportunity for every citi- zen. We have realized that the right of every man to live his own life, pro- vide for his family and endeavor, ac- cording to his abilities, to secure for himself and for them a fair share of the good things of existence should be subject to one limitation aund to no other. The freedom of the individual should be limited only by the present and future rights, interests and needs of the other individuals who make up the community. We should do all in our power to develop and protect indl- vidual liberty, individual initiative, but subject always to the need of preserv- ing and promoting the general good. ‘When necessary the private right must vield, under due process of law and with proper compensation, to the wel- fare of the commonwealth. The man who serves the community greatly should be greatly rewarded by the community. As there is great inequal- ity of service, so there must be great inequality of reward, but no man and no set of men should be allowed to play the game of competition with loaded dice. All this 1s simply good common sense, The underlying principle of conserva- tion has been described as the appl cation of “common sense to common problems for the common good. If the description 1s correct, then conserva-| tion is the great fundamental basis for | national efficiency. Iu this stage of the world’s history to be fearless, to be just and to be efficient are the three kreat requirements of national life. Administration’s Aims Defended. ‘This administration has achieved | some things. It has sought, but has not beew able, to achieve others. It has doubtless made mistakes, but all it has done or attempted has been in the single, consistent effort to secure and enlarge the rights and opportuni | ties of the men and women of the United States. We are trying to con- serve what is good in our social sy: tem, and we are striving toward this end when we endeavor to dg away with what is bad. Success niay be| mede too hard for some if it is made| too easy for others. The rewards of common industry and thrift may be| too small if the rewardg for other and| on the whole less ‘-fihm aqualities | are made too large, and especially it the rewards for gualities which are| really, from the public standpoint, un-| desirable are permitted to become too | Jarge. The unchecked existence of monop- oly is iucompatible with equality of opportunity. The reason for the exer- cise of government control over great monopolies™ is to equalize opportunity. We are fighting against privilege. It ‘was_made unlawful for corporations to cial . privilege at the ‘Railroad rate control is an attempt to secure an equality of opportunity for all men a fected rafl transportation, and that means all of us. The great anthracite coal strike was settled and the press- Ing danger of a coal famine averted because we recognized that the con- trol of a public necessity involves a duty to the people and that public intervention in the affairs of a public service corporation is neither to be resented as usurpation nor permitted as a privilege by the corporations, but, on the contrary, to be accepted as a duty and exercised 2s a right by the government in the interest of all the people. The efficiency of the army and the navy has been Increased so that our people may follow in peace the great work of making this country a better place for Americans to live in, and our navy was sent round the world for the same ultimate purpose. All the acts taken by the government during the last seven years and all the poli- cies now being pursued by the govern- ment' fit In as parts of a consistent ‘whole. Measures For Country's Good. Our public land policy has for fits aim the use of the public land so that it will promote local development by the settlement of homemakers, The pol- icy we champion is to serve all the people legitimately and openly, instead of permitting the lands to be convert- ed, {llegitimately. and under cover, to the private benefit of a few. Our for- est policy was establishel so that we might use the public forests for the permanent public good, Instead of merely for temporary private gain. The reclamation act, under which the desert parts of the public domain are converted to higher uses for the gen- eral benefit, was passed so that more Amerieans might have homes on the land. These policies were enacted into Jaw and have justified their enactment. Others have failed so far to reach the point of action. Among such is the attempt fo secure public control of the open range and thus to convert its benefits to the use of the small man, who is the homemaker, instead of al- Jlowing it to be controlled by a few great cattle and sheep owners. The enactment of a pure food law was a recognition of the fact that the | public welfare outweighs the right to | private gain and that no man may | poison the people for his private profit. The esmployers’ liabllity bill recognized the controlling fact that, while the employer usually has at stake no more than his profit, the stake | of the employee is a living for himself and his family. For the Benefit of the People. ‘We are building the Panama canal, and this means that we are engaged in the giant engineering feat of all time. We are striving to add in all ways to the habitabllity and beauty of our country. We are striving to hold in the public hands the remainifz sup- ply of unappropriated coal for‘the pro- tection and benefit of all the people. ‘We have taken the first steps toward the conservation of our natural re- sources and the betterment of country life and the improvement of our wa- terways. We stand for the right of every child to a childhood free from grinding +toil and to an education, for the civie responsibility aud decency of every citizen, for prudent foresight in public matters and for fair play in every relation of our national and eco- nomie life. In international matters we apply a system of diplomacy which puts the obligations of international morality on a level with those that govern the actions of an honest gen- tleman in dealing with his fellow men. Within our own border we stand for truth and honesty in public and in private life, and we war sternly against wrongdoes of every grade. The obligations and not the rights of citizenship increase in proportion to the inerease of a man’s wealth or pow- er. The time is coming when a m will be judged not by what he has suc- ceeded in getting for himself from the common store, but by how well ke has | done his duty as a citizen and by w the ordinary eitizen has gained in frec dom of opportunity because of his service for the common good. The highest value we know is that of the individnal citizen, and the highest jus- tice is to give him fair play in the of- fort to realize the best there is in him. Common 8snse Needed. The tasks this nation has to do are great tasks. They ean only be done at all by our citizens acting together, and they can be done best of all by the di- rect and simple application of homely common sense. The national conservation commis- sion wisely confined its report to the statement of facts and principles, leav. ing the executive to recommend t} specific steps to which these facts and principles inewtably lead. According Iy T call your attention to some of the larger features of the situation dis closed by the report and to the action thereby clearly demanded for the eral good. Waters. ‘The report says: Within recent months it has been ognized and demanded by arough many t 1l states assembled In con ferent sections of the country, that the waterways should and must be improved promptly and effectively as a means of maintaining national prosperity. The frst requisite for waterway im. provement is the control of the waters in ree- | such manner as to reduce floods and reg- ulate the regimen of the navigable riv- ers. The second requisite is development of terminals and connections in such man- ner as to regulate commerce. Accordingly 1 urge that the broad plan for the development of our water- ways, recommended by the inland wa- terways commission, be put in effect without delay. It provides for a com- prehensive system of waterway Im- provement extending to all the uses of | the waters and benefits to be derived from their control, including naviga- tion, the development of power, the ex- tension of irrigation, the drainage of | swamp and overflow lands, the pre- vention of soil wash and the purifica- tion of streams for water supply. It proposes to carry out the work by co- ordinating agencies in the federal de- partments through the medium of an | administrative commission or board, acting in.co-operation with the states | The work of waterway development should be undertaken without delay. Meritorfous proj in known con- formity with the general outlines of any comprehensive plan should pro- ceed at once. The cost of the whole work should be met by direct appro- priation if possible, but If necessary by the issue of bonds in small denomi- natfons. It is especlally important that the development of water power should be guarded with the utmost care both by the national government and by the states in order to protect the people against the upgrowth of monopoly and to insure to them a fair share in the benefits which will follow the develop- ment of this great asset, which belongs to the people and should be controlled by them. Forests. T urge that provision be made for opment of the national forests. Other- wise, either the increasing use of these forests by the people must be checked or their protection agalnst fire must be dangerously weakened. If we com- pare the actual fire damage on similar arens on private and national forest lands during the past year, the govern- ment fire patrol saved commercial tim- ber worth as much as the total cost of caring for all national forests at the present rate for about ten years. 1 especially Bommend to the congress the facts presented by the commission as to the relation between forests and stream flow In its bearing upon the im- portance of the forest lands in natlon- al ownership. Without an understand- ing of this intimate relation the con- servation of both these natural re- sources must largely fail. The time has fully arrived for recog- nizing in the law the responsibility to the community, the state and the n tion which rests upon the private own- ers of private lands. The ownership of forest land i1s a public trust. The man who would so handle his forest as to cause erosion and to Injure stream flow must be not only educated, : but he must be controlled. The report of the national conserva- tion commission sa; Forests in private ownership cannot be conserved unless they are protected from fire. We need good fire laws, well e: forced. Fire control is impossible wit out an adequate force of men whose sole duty is fire patrol during the dangerous season. 1 hold as first among the tasks be- fore the states and the nation in their respective shares in forest couserva- tion the organization of efficient fire patrols and the enactment of good fire laws on the part of the states. The report says furtber: Present tax laws prevent reforestation of cut over land and the perpetuation of | existing forests by use. upon the land itself, exclusive of the tim- bor, and & tax upon the timber wl is well adaptod to actual conditions of forest investment and is practicable and certain. should pay a moderate tax permanently than that it should pay an excessive rev- enue temporarily and then cease to yield at all fire laws well enforced is the enact- ment of tax laws which will permit the perpetuation of existing forests by use.

To do this we need better farm practice and better straing of wheat, corn and other crop plants, with a reduction in losses from soil eroston and from insects, animals and other enemfes of agriculture. The United States department of agricul- ture ts doing excellent work in these directions, and it should be liberaily supported. The remaining public Jands sheuld be classified and the arable lands disposed of to homemakers. In their interest the timber and stone act and the commutation clause of the home- stead act should be repealed, and the sesert land lnw should be modified in nceordance with the recommendations of the public lunds commission. The use of the public grazing lands should be regulated in such ways as to improve and conserve their value. Rights to the surface of the publie Iand should be separated from rights to forests upon it and to minerals be« neath it, and these should be subject to separate disposal. The coal, ofl, gas and phospha rights still remaining with the govern« ment should be withdrawn from entry and leased under conditlons favorable for econewie development. Minerals. The accompanying reports show thaf the cousumption of nearly all of oun mineral products is increasing more rapidly than our pepulation. Our mine eral wasie is about onesixth of oue product, or nearly $1,000000 for each working day in the year. The loss of structural waterials through fire is about anotber million a day. The loss of life in the mines is appalling. The larger part of these losses of life and property can be avoided, Our mineral resources are limited in quantity and cannot be increased o reproduced. With the rapidly increas. ing rate of consumption the supply will be exhausted while yet the nation is ia its infancy unless better methods are devised or substitutes are found.
