This conference feels that forest conservation has 
suffered a serious loss in the death of Secretary of 
Agriculture Henry C. Wallace. It is our belief that 
his high purposes in calling together representatives 
of all the forest-using industries, technical societies, 
the press, the schools, the consumers, the Govern- 
ment, and the general public to create a program 
for reducing timber waste will in time be realized 
and brought to fruition. He was an upright and 
able public servant, and this conference has sorely 
missed his counsel and leadership.—Resolution 
adopted by the National Conference on Ulilization 
of Forest Products at its afternoon session, Novem- 
ber 20, 1924.
