 mercial interests and now will be able to serve as nothing of more constant production ability than an under ground storage plant for naval coal The Nays Viewpoint
 It was desire on the part of the Government to develop supply ot coal on the Pacific coast for the Navy that drove the Federal authorities with such determination into study of the Territory's deposits. This study was directed along two lines efforts to determine mining condi tions on one hand and quality of coal on the other. Now the Navy stands convinced that the mining conditions are such that under none other than emergency conditions can operations be carried on in large scale. This is not situation calculated to warm the cookies of an optimist's heart. But the Navy has gathered some cheer during very recent days when investi gations into the quality of the coal are understood to have proven that the product of the Matanuska field can be used on the grates of the naval vessels. The recent tests under naval boilers of 5000 tons of washed Chick aloon coal, it is indicated, have proven to officials that the deposits do possess the quality which will per init them to stand as source oi emergency fuel for the Navy. The satisfactory result of the tests is the vital factor determining that the coal shall be kept in underground storage
 Naval officials apparently are glad that the showdown has come, feeling that definite knowledge of what they might expect from the Matanuska and Boring River fields is the most val uable asset they can gain in their eff. forts to provide supply of coal that

be provided if the entire territory takes on some semblance of general industrial activity.
 Responsible Factors
 Those who have made close study of the situation confronting the Territory during the many sub normal days that have followed the bonanza era, declare that two fac tors for which the Government is directly responsible have brought about the conditions which have sprung up during that time and which now shackle efforts toward industrial resusitation. These are pointed out as being the responsible factors:
 l.. Withdrawals and subsequent application of the leasing law in cases where the physical handicaps alone would have offered obstacles sufficient to tax the ability of pri- vate enterprise to operate success fully.
 2. The general scheme of admins tration of the Governments affairs in Alaska under which a score of more of various Federal agencies have come to play the part of 50 many superfluous cooks spelling the broth.
 That the Government during the last decade should have placed the restraint of withdrawals and the leasing act upon coal lands which no large coal mining company in the United States will undertake to de. velop at the present time indicates to observers that the policy initiated several years ago is obviously at fault.

Un the Mining Congress JcurnaD
 The government has given up ef- forts to link private industry with de- velopment of Alaska's coal in the Matanuska field. After striving val iantly but vainly to find some 'angel' to take over operation of the largest coal mine in the Territory on com merciaI basis, officials have decided that the coal will not be brought to the surface in quantity unless a na- tional emergency arises to prompt the government to mine coal at any cost 80 that the Navy's ships may be sup piled with fuel from a source on the Pacific coast. These officials have come face to face during the past few months with unimpeachable evidence that private capital will not enter into any agreement for development under present conditions with no assurance of a margin of profit. The high cost of mining, isolation of the beds, and other variable preclude possibility of any such assurance except in cases where operations of comparatively small scope deem it profitable to mine coal to supply demands within the Territory.
 While announcement is being made of the Governments failure to link private enterprise on general scale with operations in the Chickaloon field, where $1,500,000 has been spent in development, echoes ten years old bring up the cries made by alleged "conservationists" in days gone by. These echoes carry the walls and woes that were distributed over the coun- try during the Roosevelt and Taft ad- ministration when the people were told that "monopolies" were getting control of the Alaska coal field. It was then that wholesale withdrawals and stifling legislation, accompanied by eccentric administrative plans, cut down whatever pioneering ambitions a risk-taking industry may have pos sessed. Fifteen years after this hue and cry succeeded in choking conner cial development. the government finds itself unable to find one single

 The corporation made an inten- slVe study of the situation, sending corps of engineers to the Alaskan fleld, only to come to the conclusion that the cost of producing coal from the Chickaloon mine would be too great to allow of competition with
