Th«- recent withdrawal of water poser Jtes and phosphate and petro leum lands by the President, covering mure than 37,000.000 acres in vari ous states and the two territories, were discussed with the president by Secretary Ballinger. "Dealing with these lands.” said the secretary, "we will continue the conservation in every essential detail. At the same time the president pro poses that an opportunity for devel opment shall bo given. "The first work before us is the proper ckiHsification of the lands. This will have to be done by the geological survey and the undertaking la a big one. "Once the classification 1« cotnplet- ed. we will be confronted by the task of getting special legislation through congress for the disposition of the innd« on a fair basis This legislation will require a lot of test and study. The problem is intricate."
