Mr. Chapman is well acquainted with the Alaska problems that come under his jurisdiction. During his 16 years as Assistant Secretary and Under Secretary he has had an active part in the department’s delib- erations on Alaska development . . . He steps to the head of the powerful Interior Department, with an intimate knowledge of the inner workings of its many bureaus and offices. His ex- perience equips him to know how to make it function effectively and efficientl! The new Secretary will need no new surveys or other fancy reports to reveal to him that Alaska has | many special and peculiar problems. He is well acquainted with the aboriginal rights | have complicated land titles throughout widespread areas of the Territory. He knows that until this problem is resolved it will be difficult to bring about substantial capital investments economic development. The new Secretary is well a e of the fact that ‘the Federal land laws, written in 1862 with the view encouraging settlement of the Middle West, have prven a failure in encouraging Alaskan settlement. He will need no field committees to make extensive studies in order to reveal the need for re-writing the lend laws. Mr. Chapman also is well informed on the need for basic developments, such as hydro electric power, building materia to open the way for new industries, greater employ- ment opportlunity, larger population and economic stability. One of Those Mysteries (Cincinnati Enquirer) Coffee, according to news dispatches, may reach $1 a pound before many weeks, as the result of an estreme world shortage. It is a difficult thing to magine, for only a few years ago Brazilian locomo- tives were burning coffee beans instead of logwood under their boilers. Coffee was not merely plentfiul. It was a headache for the coffee-growing countries beeause world markets were glutted. A few years ago the writer of this editorial saw thousands - of tons of coffee piled up in the ware- houses of one large Brazilian plantation—coffee the swners had no real hope of selling on a sagging world market. But he also saw thousands of acres of land that had lately been cleared of coffee trees and slanted to cotton. This process has been going on at 2 head-long pace.

The worst of it is that the coffee tree, although {nct a very large plant, does mot bear heavily untii it is about five years old. So it takes a long time to restore acreage and production, once the world dfmand has run far ahead of supply.
