EDMONTON IDEA The idea of an Arctic trade route to Asia and Europe has been revived in Edmonton, Alberta, in a pamphlet which proposes to bring the “post-war Arctic trade route to Asia and Europe to Edmonton’s back door.” Alaska would be by-passed completely although part of the trade would pass by Nome through the | jaws of Bering Straits. Under the plan the route from Edmonton would be by rail or road to Great Slave Lake, thence down the Mackenzie River by barge to Tuk-Tuk or Herschel Island. At this point the route would spiit, one z.mng over the top of the world to Asia and Europe Jear. | from May to October Vice.

Russia has made use of the steamer route. A total of 114 boats made the trip along the Siberian Coast in 1943. Of this number 14 went through the Bering Straits from Archangel to Vladivostok. Ice breakers and air reconnaissance enabled the steamers to get through. The trips were made for war, however, and whether the average freighter hauling for profit in peacétime could afford these luxuries is doubtful. It is undexstood that the Alberta government has agreed to do its part in furnishing road communication with Great Slave Lake, and the Dominion Government also is ready to ass The pamphlet insists that “Edmonton is the natural industrial gateway by air, by rail, by water, to the Arctic trade route to Asia and Europe.” We suggest this as a very bold statement. The Tragic Necessity (New York Times) Every humane person must deplore bombing from the air just as every humane person deplores war itself. To that extent we must all sympathize with the appeal of four eminent members of the French clergy that “the civilian populations of France and Furope be spared as much as possible,” and that care {also be taken to avoid hitting churches, schools, hos- *humble dwellings in neighborhoods shelt- No Allied flier wants to hit such marks. The terrorizing of civilian popula- tions has never been an Allied aim. The Axis Powers alone have followed such a policy: the Japanese in the Ger- mans in Spain, Poland, Norway, Belgium, the Neth- erlands, France and Britain. The *French appeal asks for “more cme" This requebt is legitimate.

J. F. Mullen had purchased the Ellengen lot and the two Clark lots adjoining, which extended over the hill above Giovanetti’s store, on Calhoun Avenue, and had commenced putting in a cement foundation in the middle of the lot for the construction of a new home.
