WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Robert

in favor of government ownership OF the

control of the natural resources OF that
rich territory. In the course Of his re-
marks he offered a bill which he intro
duced four years ago, providing for the
leasing of all mineral rights in the United

TO be applicable more especially TO Alaska
The sensible and practical thing TO do,

This Board OF Public Works should then

velopment Of other public utilities. such as

Justify1ng his contention that the gov
erumsnt should engage in transportation
in Alaska and the conservation OF its re-
sources Mr.. La Toilette pointed to the
work now being done on the Panama

portation problem there, the elimination
OF unsanitary conditions and the better
