Sir Horace Curzon Plunkett has written a book on the country life problem in the United States and Gifford Pinchot hopes for Theodore Roosevelt’s endorsement. Pinchot is pleased that Roosevelt might be able to speak at the National Conservation Congress and knows other organizations that would be anxious to hear him speak as well. Pinchot believes that the latest developments in the Pinchot-Ballinger controversy show Attorney General George W. Wickersham and President William H. Taft in a poor light.
