ALASKA POLICY
SIDE TRACKED
BY PRESIDENT
Indicated, However, tn at
Harding Policy for Devel-
opment Will Be Adopted

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Presi-
dent Coolidge, although he has tenn
porarily put aside the matter OF
his Alaska policy to take up more
pressing problems, 1t was declared
at the White House that his in
clination is toward adopting the
plans for the development of the
Territory as outlined by President
Harding in his Seattle address.
In his decision to follow the
Harding plans in Alaska, President
Coolidge, 1t was declared, would be
guided by the feeling of the Harding
Cabinet members who accompanied
him on his Alaskan trip. The Presi-
dent believes that they had unex-
celled opportunities to study the
problems of the Territory, and that
he could hardly do better than to
accept their judgment and benefit
by their experience.
1t was stated at the White House
that President Coolidge intends to
do all in his power to encourage
enterprise and to induce the invest
ment of capital in Alaska, and pro-
vide such conditions as will afford
the Territory larger population.

PLAN BORDER 70 BORDER FLIGHT;
FAST PLANE TO REFUEL IN AIR

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Sept. Am
airplane fight from the Mexican
border to Canada is being planned
by the Army Air Service as its next
achievmcnt. following the feat OF
Captain Smith and Lieutenant
Richter In breaking endurance rec
ords, flying around and over San
Diego. The new method of refuel-
ing the airplanel while it is aloft,
which was used with conspicuous
success in the Smith Richter fight,
would help make the Mexico Canada
trip a success.
If permission is given by authori-
ties in Washington, Maj. H. A. Ar
mold, commandaNts at Rockwell
Field, plans to have a plane hop of
within a few weeks from Tia Juana,
which is just over the American
border.
This plane would receive fuel and
supplies from other planes while
flying at full speed over Sacramento
and Medford. Ore, and If all went
well, it would arrive in British CO.
lumbia in record-breaking time.
The big advantage gained by the
refueling in midair method is that
1t permits use of light, fast planes
in making such flights instead OF
the slower cargo-carriers used in
previous transcontinental efforts.

GENEVA, Sept. 4.-The Council
of the League of Nations will take
up today the Greeco-Italian crisis.
Hope has been expressed that the
two countries will refrain from acts
of such nature as would aggravate
the situation.

Italian delegation to the League OF
Nations told the Associated Press
that ltaly's attitude on Greece was
that the League of Nations had
nothing to do with the matter.
Salandro reiterated that Italy had
not committed an act of war but
had simply acted as the situation
warranted to force proper retribu-
tion by Greece.
Last Saturday communication
from Greece submitting the Greece
Italian crisis to the League of Ma
tions was received. This automati-

Secretary Of Agriculture An

Public Speech.
VICTORY CLAIMED FOR
CONSERVATION POLICY
Says President Found Charges
Of "Muddling' Not to
Be Justified.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., aug. 81
delayed d)-However much Harding
may have been impressed before 60
ing to Alaska with the need for
general reorganization of Federal
activities there, he came away very
definitely of the opinion he should
say suggestions for such re-organiza-
tion were not well considered, ac-
cording to statement issued today
by Henry c. Wallace, Secretary of
Agriculture. The statement said that
Harding's speech ON Alaska, made
at his last formal appearance before
the public at Seattle. July 9th, was
a vigorous presentation of definite
opinion "based on accurate finding
and investigation at first hand and
ought to put and end once for all
to the agitation which has been so
harmful to Alaska"
No Muddling Found
Mr.. Wallace added that Harding
didn't find any justification for the
charge of muddling or mismanage.
ment of public business by Federal
agents in Alaska. Neither did he
find that Alaskans themselves took
any stock in such stories. He found
the various departments of the Gov
ernment doing exactly the same
kinds of work in Alaska that they
are doing in the 4S states.
"The fact that those industries
in Alaska which have had the bene-
fit of conservation policies are the in
dustries which are developing and
upon which the Alaska of the future
will be built, while those industries
which have been thrown open to ex-
ploitation are the vanishing indus
tries, the looting of which has en-
riched not the people of Alaska but
outside exploiters who took their
money away with them"
"As President Harding said, Alas
ka Is destined to become one of the
bright stars in the union of states.
He declared that Harding found
that the Withholding of coal and oil
deposits from exploitation is all wa
ter that has passed over the dam;
that present Federal laws for de-
veloping these resources give every
reasonable opportunity to capital and
business foresight to develop them.
He added that Harding's Seattle
speech will be rated in history as
