Doubts BaIIinger's Good Faith.

In view OF these facts il is unfortunately
impOSSi bic 10 look with confidence to OFF,
Gals Of the Interior Department for an
unbiased judgment If the decision of the
the Cunningham claim no appeal to the
courts would be possible.
According TO the testimony of representa-
tiVes Of the acknowledgement syndI-
cate. who have long asserted half inter
sst in the Cunningham claims, their ulti-
mate value is in the neighborhood of S25,-
600 900. but the loss to the people of the
United States which would follow the issue
Of patents is by 40 means limited TO any
such sum. Altho' gh the government would
receive but little more than $4,000 for
claims worth many millions, a decision
favorable to the Cunningham claimants
would not merely result in unjuStifa BILE
loss to the public at large, but would also
to patent other Illegal claims outside OF
the Cunningham group, to the additional
value OF many millions Of dollars.
While recognize that the law under
which these patents are sought unfOrtu-
naiely places such limitations upon the
area which can be embraced in any one
entry aS TO hinder development of Alaskan
