NEW YORK, February S.-Declar-
Ing the government has interfered
with business already" Albert Bacon
Fall, Secretary of the Interior. in a
speech before the womans depart
ment Of the National Civic Federation
today advocated the development of
Alaska's resources by private inter-
ests
ut is charged said the Secretary,
that l am trying to turn Alaska
over to the predatory interests by
lending my ear to plans for. the de-
velopment of Alaska's oil resources.
Congress Is being asked to permit
forty claimants for mines to form an
association. which will help develop
the oil lands.
The government is in this business
and 1t should not be. The govern

too much already. but the people of
this country will eventually have to
decide what they want to do with
Alaska and how ready they are to
help TO develop this great unpros-
pected wealth"
Secretary Fall also denied charges of
extravaganza leveled against govern
ment departments. and advocated a
reorganization of the Department of
