NEW COMMISSION AT WORK

formation from other authoritative 

 sources. It looks forward to valuable 

 cooperation with the Conservation 

 Commissions of the respective states 

 and with national organizations which 

 were represented at the Conference of 

 Governors at the White House last 

 May. The Commission has announced, 

 through letters to the Governors and to 

 the representatives of these organiza- 

 tions, that it welcomes suggestions and 

 information along the line of its in- 

 quiries. 



The Commission is emphasizing the 

 need of vigorous work in order that the 

 Executive Committee may have the 

 material collected in final form to lay 

 before the Commission at its first meet- 

 ing in Washington, on Tuesday, De- 

 cember I, and likewise for the meeting 

 of the Commission with the Governors, 

 or their representatives, one week later, 

 on Tuesday, December 8. 



Cooperation between the states and 

 the National Conservation Commis- 

 sion has become a marked feature of 

 the Conservation movement since the 

 last bulletin was issued. Within less 

 than one month from the date of the 

 President's letter appointing the Com- 

 mission and advising the Governors 

 that he had done so, the Govrnors of 

 five states had named Conservation 

 Commissions. These were Governor 

 Norris, of Montana ; Governor Cham- 

 berlain, of Oregon ; Governor Folk, of 

 Missouri; Governor Leo, of Delaware, 

 and Governor Fort, of New Jersey. In 

 addition (Governor Warner, of Michi- 

 gan, has advised the Chairman of the 

 Commission of the existence of the For- 

 estry Commission of Michigan and also 

 a Commission of Inquiry charged with 

 the duties of securing all information 

 and data possible regarding forestry.
