OPEN THE WAY TO ALASKA!
There is no longer any valid reason for delay—the
building: of the overland highway to Alaska should be
started at once!
For years this project lias languished. There were
Canadian fears that United States influence might be
1 too heavy along such a highway—that it meant some
* sacrifice of sovereignly. There were American fears that
' it meant dumping money into a project which would
; principally benefit Canada.
Neither fear means anything today. Canada and the
i United States have submerged all last lingering distrusts
; ill mutual understanding of a mutual problem of defense.
I And the need for safeguarding Alaska by development
. as well aa by military «istabliahment* is now clear.
Well, what are waiting for? The 1200 miles of this
' highway would coat only around $14,000,000. It is hard
to see how a more valuable defense asset could be ac-
; quired)for the same amount. There need be rio quibbling
about the share of the two countries. Canada is very
busy right now. Let the United States build the road,
* and settle later with the Canadians for their share. We
can trust them to be fair.
The engineers have studied the situation. They say

murdered was a crafty agent of the revolution Trotsky
helped to start, or simply a screwball whose mind wobbled

His death meant little to most Americans for his
life was lived, his triumphs achieved, his exile and death
íated in an atmosphere strange to us. But one
point, is worth noting:
