/ The council recites Alaska's eff
/ forts to open and develop it's coal de-
posits. The leasing law has led to no
results worth mentioning, and the ter
ritOry is importing about $4,000 tons
of coal annually. 1--WE believe" sug-
gests Vice Chairman Rustgard, that
the coal lands of alaska should be
thrown open for private enterprise,
unshackled by any government threat
to confiscate profits, unless at the
same time the government undertakes
to render financial aid in opening
mines, and thus assumes some res
possibility in case of loss"
Alaska is also importing $780, 900 bar
rels of oil and producing about 5000
barrels annually The lands adjoin-
ing the existing wells were withdrawn
from entry ten years ago, and further
exploration has been prevented There
is unquestionably plenty of oil there;
the government should drill for it or
permit others to do so; the nation
needs the oil. The greatest potential
water power of Alaska is also tied up,
like coal and oil, by the hand of the
law.-Seattl Post-IntelIigencer.

FOUR-MINUTE MEN

When the war is ended and we shall
have had time to view our prepare
ton and performance in retrospect,
the busy citizen known as a Four-Min-
ute Man will come in for large share
of the credit, and if full justice be
done, his patriotic chest will bear a
badge of honor betokening the appre-
citation of the nation.
This energetic and articulate citizen
has been a perpetual spur to the pa
tTiotism of a people long accustomed
TO peace and difficult to awaken to the
urgent needs of war. When citizens
had read Hoover's urgent calls for
food conservation and forgotten all
about it, here was the Four-Minute
Man stepping briskly to the front of
the stage and reminding us again and
yet again. When the Red Cross was
hustling for funds, and Mr. McAdoo
appealing for Liberty bonds subscrip-
lions, the FOur-Minute Mans was the
voice that stirred us to action. In his
combined and manifold activities he
furnished the punch that put over the
nations call and got results.
There has been no question about
Ghe peoples patriotism, but they were
very busy with their own affairs, had
a tendency to procrastinate, and in
some quarters there was a strong con-
iidence that George" would do what
was necessary. The Four-Minute Man
has been the persistent reminder of
duty, the governments buzzer, the ar
ticulate call that the patriot dimly rec
OgniZed, but had no time to put in ac-
ton. When the war is over and we
are measuring performance and recon-
Dense, we shall discover the Four-Min-
ute Man to be vastly underpaid; and
we shall have more evidence of this
before peace comes.

POTENTIAL ALASKA

AS tending to the national support
IN its war enterprise, the conservation
of it's food and use of it's potential re-
sources, the Alaska territorial council
is suggesting that it's fishing resources
would be greatly increased by the pass
age of a federal law Withdrawing pro-
lection from the sea-fowl whose only
mission is to destroy the food fishes
now so much needed by humanity.
The council suggests, further, that
the government take measures to en-
courage the production of chrome,
coal and petroleum, of which Alaska
contains great potential stores, and
also facilitate the use of the poten-
tial water power of the territory.
John Rustgard, vice chairman of the
Alaska council, states in letter to the
council that an Alaska gull will eat
and destroy 100000 salmon eggs a day
and, in a spawning season of two
weeks, herring eggs of a potential ca
pacity of $500 barrels of cured her
rings. There are billions of water
fowl along the Alaska coast line thai
