Former forest service chief Gifford Pinchot, ousted, declares the nation faces a moral choice between conserving natural resources and preserving popular government. He warns Congress must act to thwart special interests that would control water powers, phosphate deposits, and Alaska coal lands, arguing the people’s home and welfare depend on public lands remaining public. The Mississippi valley must keep waterways as a commercial asset and prevent monopolies in transport. Pinchot urges citizens to hold their representatives accountable to protect public rights.
The speaker states no comment on recent events and vows to remain active in conservation efforts regardless of government or private sector status. This declaration emphasizes continued commitment to environmental causes and public service.
The speech lauds conservation and government for human welfare while opposing profit driven policy. It notes Pinchot’s regret at leaving the forest service and credits the movement with national conviction. It criticizes congress for the Tawney amendment delaying national conservation work.
