The United States has astound ed the world by its spectacular s MprntyT-'dT-'eyelopTOenl. W came into the sisterhood of na-' tions ah evangel of liberty and a herald of better days to the na tions. But we are the Spend thrift, the Waster, the Ne'er-cio-Well of nations. i Beginning in modern times with incomparably rich natural resources, we have ravaged a con tinent of its wood and coal and iron, and we smilingly face the exhaustion of our bank account in these things like a boy in the midst of bis sowing of wild oats. Our forests are gone. The scat tered fragmentsleft will disappear in,,twenty years. The pinch ot exhausting coal fields has'begun; and tbe best authorities are com puting the time of the end of our supply, trying to determine whether it will be our children or our grandchildren who will have to face a future without coal. We have vast reserves of water power, coal, iron and lands capa ble of reclamation and reforesta tion, but we seem to have no ade- -quate conception of our duties to ward them, to ourselves, uur country or posterity. , Our soil is being washed away into the rivers and by them carried to the sea and our boasted fertility of soil is I thereby lessened year by year 7 but tbe irreparable drain is ignor ed. Our neglect is almost equal to our active waste. The vast potentialities of our waterways in bearing commerce and in furnish irg power have been neglected.. But a new era seems dawning.. President Roosevelt is bringing these matters into the field of . prsctical statesmanship. The In land Waterways Commission has. been constituted by bim a? a great agency for pointing out these na tional dangers and co-ordinating the Governmental plans for ccn- serving our national resources.. In constructive ? tatesmsflshipi," the work outlined rises to the most exalted plane. It demands the attention of every American. On its success depends the tv.ture. We must make the most of what is left of our once great estate; We must stop waste; we must keep our natural resources Lorn the grasp of monopoly, or we may sink to a status ot commercial and national inferiority and sub ordination.
