The battle, in brief, Is over legislation, pending and prospective, which would transfer the forest service from the Agriculture department to the Interior department and practically turn over the development of the natural re sources of Alaska to the Interior de partment., with responsibility to the I'resident. This battle is not a petty quarrel between two departments. It Is a real battle between two cabilnet members. Some of the old-timers take it so seriously as to predict the resig nation of one or the other of the secretaries. Moreover, the battle is significant as indicating the difficul ties that lie in the way of the proposed reorganization of all the executive departments. Until 1905 the Interior department controlled all the public lands. The national forests were then created for the application of scientific lumber Ing and grazing and the forest service was estabilied to administer them. The Interior department retained con trol of the remaining public lands and the ten national parks, established for recreational purposes. In the national forests the Interior department is charged with the executlon of all laws "relating to surveying, prospect lig, locating, appropriating, entering, reconveying or patenting of public ilids and to the granting of rights of way amounting to easements." The national forests now number 168 in 21 states itid territories and contain about 242.200 square miles. The na tional parks now number 19 and con tain 10,859 square miles. The national park service was cre ated in 1910 to administer the national parks under the secretary of the in terior. Tihe Agricultural department then began a campaign in print, and tromi the platform, for the transfer of tihe national park service to the Agri ('ult ural department.,I itiaso set up the niational forests as recreational rivais of tihe national parks. Thien camie thle proiposed reorgani zaition of the executive departments, ap prov'ed by thle l'resident. Under this reorganIzation, the interior de parItmenot w~ouild bt!omei practicenlly a public works department'i . Oine (Cni ?empilaited( transfer is tihat of the for est service fromn the Agricultural de partmient. On top o0)(f thIiis enme tihIle 'onicerni about01 tihe plight of Alaska, which is not prospiering.

It has been annaotuncedl that l'resident Ilarding will visit Als ka this summier to get first-hand infor mnation. It was planned that Secre tary Fail should be in the presidential party. Naturally the Depa rtmuuent of Agricul ture's is not pileasedl withI this programi. The AmerIcan iForest ry assoc-lation has senit out much "litera tur ie" pr testing agalist it.

But either ie had It seri ously in inind-or lie ran a gorgeous bluff. Anyway, he served an ultima tun on the Tory lendters of the coa lition party that unless he could be assured of loyal support and co-opera tion he would resigin. Whereupon all Britain buzzed like a disturbed hee hive. Sir Arthur Balfour was named everywhere as the probable successor. But ..the coalition chiefs got busy at once. Sir George Younger, the union Ist "die-hard" leader, was made to step back into the tline; it was his speeches that had forced the issue. Other leaders publicly voiced their confldence in the premier. Balfour, as a conservative leader, put the fin Ishing touch by declaring ernphat ically for a continuance of the ('oat lition governinent and inidorsing the leadership of Lloyd George. who he declared was incomparably the great est figure of the greatest age in Irit Islah history. So the crisis has appar ently been passed-though possibly only for the present.
