Abstract

THE two men who have played the largest part in the conservation movement that has now assumed such great importance in the United States arc probably Gifford Pinehot and President Roosevelt. Pinchot was primarily responsible for the forests, but, he saw that the conservation of forests could not be dealt with satisfactorily by itself, but was intimately bound up with the conservation of water, of the soil, and of mineral resources. It was this flash of genius that founded a new branch of economics, and the strong personality of the President brought the subject at once into the region of practical politics.
