Seymore Stedman, who defended
Debs at the trial which ended in TO-
year sentence, was of the party, and
told how Debs might have escaped con-
viction BY seeking to wriggle out of
the plain construction put on the Can
ton speech. But Debs instructed him
TO work neither for acquittal nor con-
yiction, but to stand on what Debs had
said and meant. Even SO, Stedman
showed, the supreme court might have
reversed the verdict if it had not inter-
preted opposition to the war as obstruc-

Washington. President Harding is
taking one more step in the carrying
out" Of the Roosevelt policy Of conser-
Walton of the national domain. Through
Secretary Of the Interior Fall, he is
now negotiating lease Of the navy de-
partmcnt's coal mine and the best 81
I6O-acre coal claim in Alaska to the
Lake and Export corporation, Hunting
ton. W. Va. This corporation repre-
SCENTS big West Virginia coal operating
interests. Announcement is withheld
perhaps until after election.
Private statements by Fall, by Wal
ter Brown, chairman of the presidents
committee on reorganization Of execu-
tive departments, and by spokesman Of
the commerce department indicate that
this is to be mere preliminary to the
turning over Of the coal. fisheries, for
ests, water powers, and government
railroad in Alaska 10 exploitation by
big business under monopolistic leases.
When Ballinger tried to give the AL
aska coal to the Guggenheims, and Taft
upheld him by whitewash report bas-
ed on evidence which he had not seen,
a great cartoonist represented the
Roosevelt policies, much battered, be-
ing carried out ON shutter!
After Clifford Pinchot had written the
conservation plank in the Republican
platform of 1920, Harding called him
to Marion and consulted him, and then
made a series Of strong pledges of sup
port of the conservation program. Since
he has been in, office, Secretary Fall
has let the Standard Oil and the Dohe-
ny interests pump the oil out of the
naval oil reserves in California, and
has given to Harry Sinclair the Tea
pot Dome naval oil lease in Wyoming,
to exploit which company Of $780,
100000 capitalization has been organ
lied.
Now comes the surrender of the ma
vy's coal mine, located on the govern
ment railroad in Alaska, a mine on
which the lessee will be able to pro-
duce high grade coal at less cost than
anywhere in West Virginia. As one
third of the coal lands of Alaska are
reserved in the navy. under the Alas
ka coal act passed in 1913 as the re-
suit Of the Ballinger scandal, there is
room for many more leases to other
groups of West Virginia operators.
Secretary Fall has informed friends
that he is going to get control of the
Alaska forests. Walter Brown, whose
reorganization plan calls for a transfer
of these forests to Falls hands, says
the dispute between Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace and Fall on this issue
has been adjusted. If Fall gets the
forests, which are next in value to the
minerals in Alaska. he will try to induce
paper pulp manufacturers to lease them
and to develop waterpowers on the for
est lands for the operation of paper
mills. The International Paper Co. is
understood to be candidate for this.
