What has happened in n ithern Chi- '
na, what has happened In Central
Asia, in Palestine, in North Africa, In
parts of the Mediterranean countries
of Europe, will surely happen in our
country if we do not exercise that
wise forethought which should be one
of the chief marks of any people call- ,
Ing Itself civilized. Nothing should
be permitted to stand in the way of the
preservation of the forests, and it Is
criminal to permit individuals to pur
chase a little gain for themselves
through the destruction , of .forests
whin this destruction is fatal to the
well-being of the whole country in the
future. !
Until the work of river improve
ment is undertaken in a modern way
It cannot have results that will meet
the needs of this modern nation.

further dilly-dallying or delay. The
plan which promises the best and
quckest results Is thgt of a permanent
commission authorized to co-ordinate
the work of all the government de
partments relating to waterways, an;l
to frame and supervise the execution
of a comprehensive plan. Under such
a commission the actual work of con
struction might be entrusted to the re
clamation service; or to the. military
I engineers acting . with a sufficient
number of civilians to continue the
work in time of war; or it might be
divided between the reclamation serv
ice and the corps of engineers. Funds
should be provided from current rev.
enues if It Is deemed wise otherwise
from the sale of bonds. The essential
thing is that the work shoud go for.
ward under the best possible plan, and
with the least possible delay. .We
should have a new type of work and
a new organization for planning and
directing it. The flme for playing
with our waterways is past The
country demands results.
I am happy to say that I have been
able to set aside in various parts of
the country small, well-chosen tracts
of ground to serve as sanctuaries an
nurseries for wild creatures.
