Hanson, leader of thne Loyal Conservative opposition in the Canadian House of Commons. Giving a brief inter- view, Hanson, who is an opponent of the Alaska International High- way, stated that Canada under no | circumstances would be able to| hare in the cost of building such a project at present. Said he: “The people of Canada are spending every cent for the war and are unable to squander any money on projects that are non-essential to defense now.” When asked what, in his opinion, were the chances of a German in- vasion by way of Siberia, Mr. Han- son replied that any such invasion is highly improbable, if not impos- sible. “Hitler has his hands full | now,” Hanson added. When asked to give his views | briefly over the radio on the Inter- national Highway, Mr. Hanson de- clined saying: “I do not believe that I am qualified to discuss the matter over ‘the air as I am not | well enough acquainted with the facts.” Eleding Officers| Troop 3 of the Girl Scouts are meeting this afternoon in the par- | lors of the Northern Ligh* Brech terian Church to-elect- ofticers fop the coming year.
