Ernest Gruening said today on his return from Washington where he attend- ed a meeting of the group. The Qovernor said members of the American Commission felt it imperative that a start be made on the highway immediately. The . defense angle, formerly in the background as an interesting aspect, members now feel is of para- mount importance, he said, with members believing that in the event of this nation’s getting into war, with the shipping situation becom- ing more and more acute, ine In- ternational Highway might become in effect & “Burma Road” for Alas-| ka, over which would move tru: with supplies, munitions and mater- | fal. i Canadians are now engaged in‘ an all-out war effort with indus-| try and manpower fully engaged, but it should still be possible, if the highway is needed imperative- 1y, to. obtain the men and machines negessary for its construction, the Governor said. “By careful planning and inten- |sive work we hope the highway coyld be; compleiec in iwo .years after work begins,” the Governor declared. He sald the War Depart- ment recently ordered a change in the terminus of the Alaska Rail- roadd, a job that will take two years, so the time factor is not one which should cause us to hesi- tate . on beginning work on the highway. The American commission wiil .meet: in. Juneau next month.
