ALASKA'S EXPECTATIONS

THE possibility that the country will
not be plagued by an extra session
Of Congress after March 4 has revived
the hope that the President may be
enabled to execute his 1ong-defcrred plan
Of visiting Alaska, II is well known
that Mr.. Harding acplored the disrup.
tion Of his program to visit the Pacific
Coast and the great Northwest Terri
tory last summer, and that the disap.
pointment in those regions was acute.
Fortunately the grand tour" for such,
if it is undertaken, it will unquestionably
be, appears to have been postponed
rather than abandoned. Mr.. Harding is
said to be again considering an oppor-
tunity to inaugurate new era in the
history Of Alaska.
If he makes the journey he will be the
first American President to set foot,

Congress has not managed its affairs

bureaucracy the problem of the conser.
walton and development Of natural
resources in the territory has reached a
climax.
The great Government railway from
Anchorage to Fairbanks is completed
and immense changes along its route
are on the verge of being effected. But
the transformation is not yet authenti-
cally under way. It waits upon the 70
nation of a national policy in the best
interests of the Territory, Of better sea
transportation and of assurances that
possibilities of monopolistic plundcring
and greedy exploitation will be effec-
lively removed.
The predicted retirement of Albert b.
Fall from the Cabinet should facilitate
the Presidents efforts to rehabilitate the
Territory. Mr.. Harding has monu-
mental task ahead of him, and it is
stimulating to note that he is once more
looking eagerly forward to acceptance
Of the responsibility.
