There are probably no more beautiful waters and -ander scenery anywhere in the world than the inside pe ge 10 Alaska and the shores that rim the Gulf of Alaska. And there are probably nowhere in the world more treacherous waters for navigation under the best of circumstances Pericdic wrecks, many of them with tragic loss of life, have been accepted in the past as part of the price of Aluska's trade with the outside world. There can be no such complacent attitude toward lisasters in the future Aids for navigational sgfety have made giant strides. Radar and fathometers are two of the: devices which will eliminate almost entirely the gue work in threading the treacherous channels in Alas and British Columbia waters. Ncne of the commercial passenger ships on the Alaska run is at present equipped with these devices— radar which keeps a tireless check un distances and direction of surface obstacles from the ip and fathometers which constantly and accurately check the depth of waters in whieh the ship is plying. No fault for this lack lies With the operating compar as these improvements have been under tight military control during the war with priorities properly going to troop ships. But the government hould ma lhr‘m available as speedily as possible for commercial use . Shipping here as elsewhere is still controlled by the War Shipping Administration. The Post-Intelli- gencer has no doubt that the shipping companies immediately , concerned with the Ala trade are vitally interested in securing the best ships and the most modern navigational aids obtainable when ship- returned to private control But it is more than the concern of the steamship companies.
