The article discusses the author's interpretation on the views of 1969 U.S. Secretary of the Interior and Local Government Walter J. Hickel regarding the issues on environmental protection and industrial development as criticized by the environmental activists in the U.S. According to the author, Hickel has been charged of deprecating "conservation for conservation's sake" program and had allegedly argued for a moderate approach to the prevention of pollution of air and water to avoid slowing down of the industrial development.
