STATEMI FOR ALASKA ISURGED Forrester Greely Recommends Action in Annual Report. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Dee. 21-—TJrgontly recommending that Alaska Territory be admitted io full sisterhood in thè United States of America. Chief Forester Greelev, in nis annual report, made public today. declares that “it I is becoming perfectly evident that thè solution of thè Alaska problem is locai self-government." In this view, Mr. Greelev differs radically from Secretary of thè Interior Albert Fall, who holds, in his annual report, that what Alaska needs to settle her problem is “a vestj ine of jurisdiction over thè whole of Alaska, exceptlng thè fisheries, in thè Department of thè Interior, which is best equlpped to handle territorial ! problems, and thè substitution of a co- | ordinated and centrallzed System of ! administration for thè present bureaucratlc System at thè earllest possible j day.” Chief Greeley develops his thesls of •‘self-government” as follows: “What thè people of Alaska w r ant. is not thè power to run thè Govern- ! rnent's business or propertv, but ; power to run their own business. The ; people of thè territory who come In j contact with thè natlonal forests are j thoroughly satisfìed with thè cxlsting ! form of administration and control of tbese properties. The counsel and ; assistance of our scientific bureau are welcomed.” Secretary Fall’s report says that thè great naturai resources of Alaska are now being held out of use when they shculd be developed by thè introdue- ! tion of private capitai.

SUCCESSOFU.S. MB TO EUROPE RESTSONFRANCE Poincaré Will Be Requested to Lay All His Cards on Table. By United Press WASHINGTON. Dee. 21.—Franco soon may be 'asked by thè United States to piace all her cards on thè table. With thè success or failure of thè American move looking toward a solution of thè old world’s economie crisis virtually hanging on thè attitude of France, this Government is understood to be preparing to ask Premier Poincaré for a definite statement as thè utmost concessione he is vvilling to make on reparations and kindred questions in order to relieve thè situation. This GovernmentTiSa rec.eived thè Gerrnan proposai calling for a commission of experts, prefera bly Americans to revise thè reparations down to thè highest possible figure that Germany can pay. It is believed that r.ny pian thè United States agrees upon will be acceptable in thè main to Great Britain.

The pian of this Government is to get thè views of all thè powers and then outline a common ground upon which negotiations could be opened with thè United States acting as a sort of a mediator. This Government is incllned to believe that France, while so far assuming an unyielding attitude in direct ne--gotiations with thè Germans, will manifest a more eonciliatory attitude in response to oirect inquiries from thè United States. Georges Clemeneeau, it is believed, soon will confer with thè French government and state that American public opinion demanda some concessions, but that Germany be forced to pay reparations to thè limit of her abìlity.
