OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND Delegate from Alaska
 (By J. J. ECKLES)

In connection with the visit of Hon. Mckenzie King, Prime Min ister of the Dominion of Canada, in Washington this week to dis cuss trade matters between the United States and Canada, Sena- tor Schwellenbach and Delegate Dimond joined in a request to the President to use this occasion to speed arrangements tending toward cary construction of the part of the International High way that will connect Alaska thru western Canada with the United States,
 The Delegate said that in his opinion the Highway project hold the greatest possibilities for gen. eral development of both north western Canada and Alaska of any thing that could now be un- dertaken. He also pointed out that building the Highway will greatly strengthen the admirable bonds of friendship and sympa- thy, both economic and moral, that have always existed between the two countries.
 It is understood that the location and construction of the Highway is now being held up only on ac- count of the problem of financ- ing that part of the road that will be in British Columbia and Yu- kon Territory. AS this is the lonnest section of the route that will probably be chosen for the Highway the larger part of the cost will result from this constr uction, and since it is apparent that Alaska and the United Sta tes will enjoy a greater benefit through the completion of the highway than Canada will, the view has been advanced that our Government can properly cooper ate in financing part of the Can adian construction.
 It is known that the President is sympathetic toward construc- ton of the proposed Highway and it is hoped that the Premiers call at the White House will result in something substantial being ac- complished in getting the work under way Senator Schwellen- bach, Dr. Gruening, and Delegate Dimond have also tried to ar- range for conference with Pre- mier King upon his return to Washington a week or two later.
 The Northwest Aviation Plann- ing Council has announced it's next conference to be held in Boise, Idaho, on June IF, l8, l9. This is an organization which aims to harmonize airport con- struction and air route plans of the Northwest with the Federal military and civil air program & secure the construction thereof
 through the unified support of Government department officials
 and the Members of Congress &
 Senators of the interested States
 At the last meeting of the Nor
 invest Aviation Planning Coun-
 cil, which was held in Portland
 Oregon, representatives were pre
 sent from Alaska, Canada, and
 the four Northwest States. Reso-
 lutions were then approved re-
 commenting the establishment of
 an air mail route between Alaska
 and the United States, endorsing
