Canada’s willingness to cooperate with the United States in constructing the big road was indi- cated by Premier Pattullo in the Washington confer- ences and he later went to Ottawa to discuss the matter with the Canadian government. The Victoria Daily Times recently voiced a favorable sentiment from British Columbia and the Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer sees in the various actions “reason to feel gratified over latest developments.” Commenting further, the P.-I. says: Nearly ten years ago the agitation for this highway. began. in the United States and Alaska. . High marks were. the 1930 caravan, which traversed the route as far as Hazelton, B.C., and the preliminary study, authorized by Con, which found the project feasible and estimated its cost at fourteen million dol- lars. Subsequently Canadian sentiment for the project seemed to lag, and the depression blocked further developments In recent months there has been a striking revival of enthusiasm north of the border. There is a general recognition now of the weakness of Canadian defenses along the Pacific Coast and the military importance of the highway to both countries. Some Canadians are proposing a somewhat different rente north of Prince George, to substitute a 3,100-foot elevation for the max: ss, - sated for their properties. sGarnick’s Chats THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1938. mum of 5000 feet on the Hazelton route. Further study of the project indicates that the cost of linking the stretches of road already built in British Columbia, Yukon Territory and Alaska will approach twenty million dol- lars, In view of the benefits to both countries in opening vast new territories the cost is not prohibitive, In our own country, all who hope for the strengthening of the ties between this region and Alaska will hope that a workable plan for financing and constructing the high- way can soon be devised. Account of the arriyal of a big whale off Point Barrow indicates that it is still “King Grub who rules the races,” as Robert Seryice once mused One thing about the candidates who lost out in the cize primary, they'll have on the premise. blanket authority to criti- “now if they had elected me." Report is that they are going to close the G-man’s office in Alaska for lack of funds. But up here we like to think it's because of lack of crime. 0il Controversy Dangers (Cleveland Plain Dealer) The delicate situation confronting the Mexicar government because of seizure of the foreign oil com- panies is made more difficult by the divergent atti- tudes taken by the United States and Britain Unless there is an attempt by the contending parties “to meet each other a full half way,” as Secre- tary of State Hull urged in his Pan-American address grave international complications may develop. Washington, in a note hree weeks ago, asked only that American citizens be adequately compen- Britain, however, demands the prompt return of fields which were under British the ownership. If Mexico accedes to British™ the United States will be left in an embs sing position attempting to explain to American oil companies Wiy the return of their properties was not demanded rejection of British demands, however, raises the possibility of a boycott of Mexican oil on the wor market and the danger of international misunder- standing. e from the stand of their governments, th expropriated owners contend that Mexico has no right to sell oil from the seized fields until full compensation has been made. This should have been made in cash at the time of the taking, they hold. Thereby they contest the Mexican government’s scheme to pay fo: the wells through 20 percent of the proceeds of the sale of the oil abroad. If foreign oil interests boycott Mexican oil that becomes di 1t if not impossible. Britain, which ordinarily recognizes the right of expropriation, finds special circumstances in this cas However, the Mexicans contend that the leases in times past were largely cobtained under duress and bribery and contrary to Mexico’s fundamental law that all natural wealth belongs to the nation. There is no doubt that the Cardenas government would like a settlement. It sees the danger of the controversy upsetting its social reform program and the whole national economy. An uncompromising stand by eitheér side will not bring a solution. Much depends on the “good neighBor” qualities of the con- testants. A recognition of *mutual obligations and responsibilities, ch as Hull called for, is needed on all sides. Engineers believe that the Washington Monument is slowly settling, but not so slowly as the European war debtor nations.

Blue tickets are given to motol ists as warnings in minor viola- tions. Records are kept; when a motorist, has accumulated three blue ones he is summoned for consulta- tion.
