Conservation as a Foundation of Permanent Peace^*

Abstract

THIRTY-TWO years ago there was held in Washington a Conference which was the first of its kind. It was the first not only in America but also in the world. It was also the first conference in the history of this country of the Governors of all the States and Territories with the President of the United States. Since it included also the Congress, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court, scientific experts, representatives of national associations, and outstanding citizens, it was one of the most distinguished gatherings ever brought together in the United States.
