American Forestry Association 



A Vigorous and Progressive Campaign now Going on. 



It was deemed advisable this year 

 that the Secretary should attend the 

 annual meeting of the American 

 Forestry Association in Washing- 

 ton, D.C., on Jan. 8. This proved a 

 very profitable trip and much valu- 

 able information was gained, partic- 

 ularly owing to the fact that several 

 related organizations met in Wash- 

 ington at the same time. This en- 

 abled the Secretary to converse in a 

 day and a half with more of those 

 connected with forest conservation 



work in the different parts of the 

 United States than he could have 

 met in several weeks steady travel- 

 ling at other seasons of the year. 



Full of Fight. 



The spirit throughout was one of 

 optimism and at the same time the 

 sentiment was constantly expressed 

 that a most determined attack was 

 about to be made on the natural re- 

 sources held by the federal govern- 

 ment of the United States, mineral 



Wolves in .Sheep's Clothing. 



The Newark, N.J., Evening News had the above cartoon as its view of the remarks of 

 Mr. Oifford Pinchot that States Bights would be made a cloak for exploitation.
