Since the war broke out in Eu-

The venerable old Commander

Then not single move was made
from military point of view to pre-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. = Out
break of war in Europe, with the
involvement of Canada, has damp
ened the hopes of some proponents
of the United States Alaska
highway for early construction of
the long roadway that would wind
northward through British Column
bia and the Yukon Territory.
They point out that Canada, en-
tering the European war, would be
unlikely to Immediately pursue con-
struction of the project,
Planning To Continue
However they said they expected
the United States-C anadian-Alaska
Highway Commission to continue
investigations and prepare plans and
recommendations for financing the
enterprise, a large share of which
would probably be undertaken with
American money.
The highway has often been
talked of as a defense adjunct, not
only to the United States but also
to Canada, which at present has
few roads along its Western from
tier. 1t also has been boosted as
the path to fuller development OF
remote Canadian and Alaskan re-
sources.
Would Cost $4,000, 900
About $25,000,000 would be re-
quired to build the road, virtually
all of which would be in Canada.
1t would join the northern end of
the West Coast Highway in the
United States and form a part of
the long route that it is hoped
eventually will link Alaska with
the lower reaches of South Amer
lea.
