ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION..- 4 —— AL CANADIAN INTEREST IN HIGHWAY. Increased interest in the proposed International Highway which would join Alaska, via Yukon Terri- tory and British Columbia, with the highways of the Pacific Coast which reach from the Canadian border | into Mexico is observed throughout the country. The highway will be one projects to be considered by the next Congress' and an attempt will be made to assure the construetiom of, at least, the Alaska portion of the highway. An apparent lack of interest on the part of Canadians in the proposed highway. has had a dis- couraging effect upon all except the more enthus- lastic supporters of the project. Though the assumption in the following edi- torial from the Stewart, B. C., Argonaut that Alaska would receive 80 per cent of highway is questionable, the editorial indicates a serious interest on the part of British Columbians in the highway that is encouragin, The British Cr -Alaska Highway will be built and it important that con- struction should ecmmence at an early date. Government officials of both Canada and the United States are agreed that the road from Hazelton to Fairbanks, Alaska, is a necessary link for transportation and would be of untold benefit to both nations. During the past five years enough en- gineering data has been obtained to show that this highway construction dces not present any more difficulties than that which has' been encountered elsewhere in Canada and the United States. Engipegring, estimajey ;places the cost of { this road at $14,000,000. Volumes have been written about the importance of the undertaking and it is generally conceded that the road will be built, also, that the chief obstacle in the way is the one of finance. Different methods of providing construc- tion funds have been suggested, but to date no definite action appears to have been taken by the governments of either Canada or the United States. In view of the fact that the United States and Alaska will benefit most by the highway, then would it not be fair for them to bear the greater share of the cost of building? Some definite plan for financing the road Sunday by _the of the major development] the benefit of the| OODLES OF PRETTY DOLLIES J. B.

A basis fopunegotiation: cauldtobe arrived at by assuming, tha{ the highway would be four-fifths beriéficialito Afaska and the Unit- ed States. It would then be reasonable for them to pay four-fifth of the interest on any bond issue sufficient to cover the cost of construction. Further, that the Canad- ian bond issue for $14,000,000 be .subscribed by the United States Federal Government. | With a financing set-up such as that, Can- | ada’s carrying charges for interest on the bond issue would be $140,000 per year. It is estimated that’ 100,000 tourist cars per year would pass through Canada to Alaska. In order that the bond issue could be | discharged, necessarily, provision would havé to be made and the following ‘method could be employed| Charge - toll' feg of $10.00- per: car for through tourist traffic—all local and | freight traffic frée—the annual revenue from | this source would be, $1,000000.

POLITICS NOT INVOLVED. From an Administration standpoint, there prob- ably will be little gain for the Administration if the decision of the Supreme Court of New Mexico | that an election certificate as United States Senator be issued to Dennis Chavez, Democrat, be upheld Senator Cutting, the Progressive, has been a staunch supporter of the New Deal from start to finish, and a lot of the old-line, standpat Republicans cast their ballots for Chavez, the Democratic nom- ince, in the last New Mexico ‘election,” not because they were followers of him, but to punish the bolting Republican Cutting. It is worthy of note that the mass of comment on the' reorganization of political parties in the United States = comés ~from”.defcated '-Republicans. The Democrats, so far, seem to be pretty well satisfiec with the organization and the leaders of their party. INo Excuses. (New York World-Telegram.) The appearance in New York of Paul Wittgen- stein, the pianist who lost his right arm in the war and still continues his concert career, adds another tc the list of iron-willed heroes of the stripe of "l\r deaf Beethoven or Helen Keller. Mr. Wittgenstein's music at Carnegie Hall, ac- cording to the critics, made his hearers think he had two hands and extraordinary facility with both. With the best excuse in the world for not con- {tinuing his ambition, still he followed through. Hs didn’'t want an excus He wanted to be. a pianist. An example of this sort requires no moralizing. “We can only salute the achievement. Honesty Pays Finland. (Kansas City Star.)

The |New York banks that have agreed to market some |4 per cent notes to be used in retiring Finnish bonds, now drawing 5'% and 7 per .cent interest, undoubtedly were influenced in part at least by ‘the good standing of Finland’s credit as-a result of its record as an honest debtor. 5 Of course the ranks of the unemployed are growing.
