ConSvution Practical Policy
»r! “Conservation may be likened to an insur-
ance policy guaranteeing the nation's fu-
. tore supply at needed raw materials and un-
™ derwriting the future of these essential com-
modities. In conservation there is no hazard-
ing the future safety of the nation for any
mere present-day advantage nor, on the other
hand, should we suffer any utter sacrifice of
the present in favor of the future. There,
ran be and should be a rational balancing of J
present and future advantages. In all res-
pects conservation makes its appeal to reason
and is a policy that should win the support
of men of affairs, It is a practical policy in
Pffce nation's business'*
KPT These are the words of Hon. Hubert
Work, spoken, as Secretary of the Interior
and chairman of the Federal Oil Conserva-
tion Board before the American Bar associa
Ipjon In session 'at Buffalo, Ntw York, on
August .'10, 1927. After a period of five
, years they are reprinted here as one of the
soundest pleas for national oil conservation
measures that has as yet been uttered. The
Conservationist hopes that each of its read-
er* will study with particular care, additional
excerpts from the statement which follows:
jfT Conservation in the sense of planning in
terms of material resources has taken on new
meaning and acquired greater emphasis be-
,pause we are living in a time of increasing
dependence upon raw materials. The present
day civilization makes so great ‘demands on
fuels and metals and a score of other raw
materials that the nation needs to balance
its accounts and see how long the Natural
Reserve Bank can continue to honor its re-
®-Jfular drafts. It is the wise nation that thinks
tit future needs and therefore lives within its
means. • * *
