The War Departmert has announced that some sort of road from the Continental United States to Alaska will be ready for use by the first of the year. This is evidently the rosd which has been called | “a pioneer road to a covple of air bases in the wilder- | ness” by one cbserver | Commenting on this road, Frederic A. Delano, chaitman of the National Resources Planning Board, | says in connection with the Alaska transportation | problem: “It is not our purpose to interfere in any way with the construction of the highway northward | from Edmonton through the Peace River Valley,| which is principally designed to connect the series of airports along that cours We believe this is a wise attitude to take. If the| highway now under covstruction did nothing more | than to provide a guide for flyers through the In- terfor route, and provided a means of transportation for salvaging planes which have crashed on that route out of reach in the wilderness, this road would be worthwhile There is now considerable discussion about a| raflroad, which may be built north from Prince | George. There is no doubt but what a railroad would | provide a better means of war transportation from | the States to Alaska at this time, and much less ex- pensive. The rubber and gas shortage plus the long trek by motor truck, stacked up against the rail haul should prove this There has also been much discussion of late about utilization of a water route This idea was given voice to by Arctic explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson who claims that a highway 300 miles long, connect- ing the MacKenzie River with the Yukon would solve buy” what supplies they needed. They had lists of reliable” persens in the towns of Holland and France traitors who would play the Nazi game. They had blueprints drawn to show what areas would be in- corporated into the Reich, what would, only be oc- cupied, and what would remain in the hands of pup- pets to be chosen Their thoroughness might well be copied. But not the deliberate cruelty which_is one of the chief weapons of Nazi occupational authorities. It will have to be one of the primary pohcies of American forces of occupation to treat the civilian populations | justly. The longer the war lasts, the larger will be the problem of governing conquered and re-conquered |areas, and the less stable will be any local, autono- mous regimes set up in place of Axis military eon- trol Germany and Japan alike have made shameful records as administrators of conquered lands. practiced cruelty, their ruthless looting 6f conquered peoples, their mass transfers of civilian populations political ends, all prove the utter inability of the fer ascist Powers to use the opportunities given to them by mil y successes, It is for the United Nations, and particularly the United States, to pre- pare now to carry out a different policy, when the time comes to maintain order and lay the ground- work for self-government in the liberated countries. Battle of Egypt (Philadelphia Record) United States Army air forces are blasting at the Axis hordes advancing on Alexandria. Reports from Cairo say thousands of U. S. troops of equipment” have with reached Egypt We hope these reports are true. H Suez and the East Mediterranean are strategic points we must hold. To do that, we dare not send a boy on a man’s errand Since supply lines are three or four times longer than those of the Axis, it will be tough to follow General Forrest's famous military axiom and enormous quantities our | get to Suez “fastest with the mostest.” But we should get there with the bestest. That doesn't mean sendinz obsolete equipment. Army officials told the House Military Affairs | Committee last week that the tanks we sent to Libya were not as well armored or gunned as present mod- els, that they were already “obsolete in terms of present-day models.” We have given up too many strong points already We are now pretty close to rock-bottom on what we off.” We have, in the past seven months, and Singapore, Burma and the Philip- Dutch East Indies, Guam, Wake—and can “write lost M pines, Libya Already the Mediterranean has become pretty much of a No Man’s Land for surface ships. United Nations air forces smashed ships attacking the con- voys Malta Tobruk early this month, but the British were unable to evacuate their forces frem Tobruk by sea If the Axis gains control of the Eastern Mediter- ranean and Suez, a way is opened for a second front chosen by the Axis—against Russia, through the Middle East: A way is opened, too, for Japan to ship oil and rubber to Germany through the Red Sea and Suez, or through the Persian Gulf and Iran. It is conceivable that Japan might by-pass Indi: and join forces with Germany through the Middle East When the Axis makes an attack, its forces go all- with their best equipment. We must counter such attacks all-out, too, with our best equipment. ya the to and a out THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— Their | from THE EMPIRE 20 YEARS AGO JULY 21, 1922 Aviator C. O.
