POLITICIANS _IN-ALASKA secretary of Interior Fall Would Like to Do ft With WASHINGTON, June 9.— "What are the plans expectations and hopes of the administration with respect to Alaska?” is the question I put to Secretary of the Interior Fall. “The first thing I'd like to do,” he gaid, “would be to go up there with a shotgun and chase out a bunch of Politicians, “But the big questions are outside And above politics, They have to do _ with policies that will make Alaska Mire accessible, that will open the ‘way to the development of resources mow locked up and that will invite settlement. “Between 1910 and 1920 the popu- lation of the territory decreased 15 , Ber cent. The population today is OMly 55,000 against 65,000 in 1910, ‘and the decline has been in the pio Meering white settlers.” Unlocking Alaska is recognized as _one of the major numbers on Presi- @ent Harding's program. The whole “future of that territory, therefore, is | Most likely to be shaped by steps taken within the next four years. _ Harding hopes to pay a personal Visit to Alaska and has been plan ning, tentative! 10 make the trip ’ this year if congress adjourns in ume . _ For the president's guidance the department of the interior, under Secretary Fall, has been collecting a mass of information covering every angle of Alaskan affairs, “Difficulties of transportation form one of the biggest barriers against Alaskan development,” Fall said. “We are now dependent wholly on Doats operating out of Seattle. The result was that the recent ship strike Jeft Alaska absolutely cut off. “Inside Alaska, transportation con- ‘Aitions are no better. We are build Ang a railroad up there, but it begins _ Bowhere and ends nowhere. In my ) Judgment Alaska should be connected with the United States by an all-rail route thru Canada. “One of the big possibilities for Alaska is the development of a pa- | per industry. Properly safeguarded, Alaska could supply us indefinitely ‘with an amount of paper equal to ‘ada. But there again the transpor- : barrier controls. “Alaska’s coal fields are another x there and there is no co and co-operation in plans development. “As secretary of the interior I am ‘ullding a railroad there. But I can- build a highway to connect with road or even a trail over which bring up supplies. Neither can I a telephone or telegraph line help communications.

Personally, I believe that should be _ ‘Vested directly in the president.” FLOWER THIEF _~ RING SMASHED?
