AN EQUAL CHANCE The American people have evidently made up their minds that our natural resources must be conserved.

That is good, but it settles only half the question.

For whose benefit shall they be conserved--for the benefit of the many, or for the use and profit of the few?
The great conflict now being fought will decide.

There is no other question before us that begins to be so important, or that will be so difficult to straddle, as the great question between special interest and equal opportunity, between the privileges of the few and the rights of the many, between government by men for human welfare and government by money for profit, between the men who stand for the Roosevelt policies and the men who stand against them.

This is the heart of the conservation problem to-day.
The conservation issue is a moral issue.
