"self Made" Men.--he process
by which some Of our most eminent
"self made" men became self-made IS
illustrated in Alaska. "The Interior
Department is arranging to transfer
coal mines in Alaska, developed by
the American navy to private mining
interests by lease" reads dispatch
from Washington. The known de-
posits of coal in Alaska amount TO
over 2O,OOO,OOO acres with more TO be
discovered. Since the notorious BIZ
linger scandal in Tafts Cabinet, at
tempts have been made by big corpor-
ations to obtain contrsl of the fabu-
lous natural riches of Alaska. The
attempt Of the Guggenheim Morgan
interests, known as the Morgan
helmers," to grab this natural wealth
was frustrated nearly ten years ago.
Secretary Fall is known to have
profound affection for benevolent as
.similation" by capitalists and cor
porations of the remaining natural
riches of the Nation. This is con-
tinuance of the policy begun nearly
sixty years ago to consider these re-
sources as the legitimate booty Of
private exploiters. They have spawn
ed quite number of our parvenu rich.
The policy regards these resources
as a means of fertilizing private and
corporate capital at the expense of mill
lions OF workers for whom these re-
sources would serve as a means of
settlement and winning a measureSoe
economic independence. Is there any
necessity of asking to whom do the
government and its natural resources
belong?-New York Call. ~
