VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. H.
Sir Richard Mcbride, prime min
lister of this province, is strongly
in favor of the United States
government-owned railroads in
Alaska finding an all-land route
to the United States.
At present railroads cross the
southern Canadian border from
either side and one would never
know he was in another country.
and here comes that province
of Canada which abuts on Alaska
as we'll as on the northwest
states and says cordially, though
iufornt lily, Lets have 'em run
hing scI oss the Alaska border,

And if it is a train from a gov
ernment-owned railroad, what OF
it? Canada is for government
owned railroads itself and has
built more miles of government
owned railroads than the United
States has yet dreamed of build.

United States) why Alaska would
have an all-rail outlet to New
York, New Orleans, Chicago, OF
any old place on the North Ameri

Premier Mcbride did not say
much about this idea of his to me
and what he said was necessarily
unofficial.
OF course Premier Mcbride
does not intend to prescribe a pol
icy for the American government
to pursue in Alaska, but he doei
point out some appealing posi-
bilities of cooperation.
