Notwithstanding the vigorous de nials of Director Forbes, of the United States Veterans bureau, the public will be inclined to believe the rehabilitation committee, of the American legion, which charges, in its annual report, that the Govern ment has made a fzzle of looking after ex-service men Surely the committee would not make such a charge were 1t not based upon the truth, and it will be recalled that this is not the first time tha: com plaint has been made of the manner in which returned soldiers have been neglected. Criticism doubtless has resulted in improved conditions but the public will have to be shown that the record is one ito be proud of.

Cat Loses Kitten Litter;
Now Mothering Bahy Rats

Racine, O., June 10.-While sweep
ing out the FIGURING mill here, the
owner found a nest of baby rats. He
turned them over to his mill cat, a
famous "ratter."
Tabby, however, had just lost a
litter Of kittens. Instead Of killing
the little rodents, she carried them
to her nest and proceeded to cuddle
and feed them. The affection seems
mutual, as the old cat never lets the
rats out Of her sight.
The owner of the mill says this
story can be verified by visit to his

The Alaskan problem is one of many rami1ca-
tons. The basic fact around which the various
phases of the problem revolve is put in nutshell
by the question, whats the matter with Alaska?
TOO much government by too many bureaus
too far away" is one of the many answers TO the
question. Though Alaska has governor (Scott
c. Bone) and legislature and territorial dele
gate to congress dan A. Sutherland), it is real
ly governed by Washington bureaus and apparent
ly almost every executive department has hand
in that government.
You see, nearly all of Alaska's natural resources
are directly or indirectly controlled by the federal
government. About 80 per cent Of the land is still
In government ownership. Coal and oil develop
ment is under government leases. Water power
and fisheries and timber under federal control
And the activities of the many bureaus of the
several departments dovetail, overlap and conflict
in bewildering tange. Owing to the divided au-
thority and the limitations of statutes and ap-
preparations, there would be mixup,
cooperation the watchword Of all concerned.
AS the result Alaska has not been doing we'll

transportation is inadequate and costly With oil

Various plans have been proposed for Aaska's
relief. number of bills has been introduced in
congress. One bill would put the administration
into the hands of an Alaskan development board
Another would give the President authority to re-
organize all federal activities.
The Interior department has many activities in
the governing OF Alaska 1t Is Secretary Falls
idea that the way to develop Alaska is to vest alb
solute authority in the President and to concen-
trate in the Interior department all functions per-
tanning to the development and use of natural re-
sources and to construction work.
OF course this idea is not at all pleasing to manv
officials of bureaus in other departments
Then there is another proposition which commit
