James Carey, consulting engineer, and Donald MacDonald, associate engineer, both members of the Com-~ mission, said they advocate a more near the coastline, advantages that con- struction supplies could be landed from sea at six different points and the route would parallel existing road, river and lake transportation for more than half of its length. Both said more than half of its length, 300 of the 1500 miles for such a route, is already constructed and in proximity of the route along | the coast. MacDonald urged that the Army and other agencies confer with the jquickly to Alaska they could send them by rail to Prince Rupert,| thence by boat via the inland pas- sage to Skagway, a water route well protected by a Iine of islands, and from Skagway the men and {supplies could go by rail to White-| horse from where good roads and air and water routes branch out to| all parts of Alaska. } Prime Minister King said the new | nighway wiii foliow the general! line of airports Canada has con-! structed. ! | More Details Coming ‘ Howard Green, British Columbia | | Conservative, asked if Canadian or| | American workmen will be engaged | |in the construction and King said | he will have no more details to an-| nounce until after an exchange of notes with the United States Gov- ernment, which will be within a few days, and will be released simultan- | eously from Ottawa and Washing- ton.
