Excerpt from Conservation Through Engineering
When any such undertaking is proposed, h pears to arouse the fear that it is somehow the beginning of a malevolent policy called conservation, and conservation has had a mean meaning to many ears. It connoted stinginess and a pro vincial thrift, Spies in the guise of Government inspectors, hateful interferences with individual enterprise and initiative, governmental haltings and cowardices, and all the constrictions Of an arrogant, narrow, and academic-minded bureaucracy which can not think largely and feels no responsibility for national progress. Needless to say this fear should not, need not be. The word should mean helpfulness, not hindrance - helpfulness to all who wish to use a, resource and think in larger terms than that of the greatest im-'g mediate. Profit; hindrance only to those who are spendthrift. /aj conservation which results in a stalemate as between the forces Of progress and governmental inertia is criminal, while a conservation that is based on the fuller, the more essential use Of a resource is statesmanship.
