It is the obligation of the party to enact those principles into law, and it is for that purpose in large degree that I called the extra session of Congress.

Therefore, I have concluded to do without that boat.

Roche Harbor is hereby abolished as a port of entry in Customs Collection District No. 30 (Washington)

In this loss they have the full sympathy of our people.

I HAVE LEARNED with sincere regret of the death of Marshal Foch.

Those have not yet been settled.

And in that effort to reorganize both the administrative side and judicial system.

I have no very important questions this morning--nothing, I think, that I am ready to make a statement about for quotation.

Under authority of the Act of Congress approved June 4, 1897 (30 Stat. 34, 36), and on the recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture, it is hereby ordered that the following described lands be transferred from the Missoula National…

Mr. MacCracken has resigned as he is determined to return to business, much to our regret.

Of course, this is not for quotation or authority.

Being fairly familiar with the sentiment of our Western States, I can at once refute the statement that the people of the West object to conservation of oil resources.

The Government must cease to alienate its oil lands if we are to have conservation.

It is obvious that no large proportion of 20,000 oil wells are being drilled on lands under these permits.

Where holders are complying with the law, they need have no anxiety as to retrospective action, but some 34,000 permits for oil exploration by drilling have been issued since the leasing law was passed in President Wilson's administration.

No one is more anxious for conservation of our oil resources than the Western States themselves.

The Secretary of War has already, through the Corps Area Commander, offered to take any steps necessary to give the full support of the Federal Government to the local authorities in service to the people suffering from that flood.

I propose to deal with these matters in my message to Congress, and I do not care to enter into any debate on them prior to that time.
