President Roosevelt tells President Díaz of Mexico about his recent Conference of Governors on the topic of conservation of natural resources. In recognition that this topic does not exist in a vacuum, Roosevelt invites Díaz to appoint representatives to send to a conference held in Washington, D.C., on the topic of international cooperation to conserve natural resources. Roosevelt has sent a similar invitation to the government of Canada.
