the expenditure may be no small matter, especially in face of the tendency to trim the budget. But as naval and army and defense estimates are going almost un- challenged, the Alaskan highway program may ride through as an auxiliary of the great defensive program.
 Early action may be expected on the huge project. Fairbanks and Interior Alaska are anxious that when it comes the section to tap the Fortymile and other To- caliies tributary to this area be built first. Let this fact be kept to the front.
 One shot never won war Keep up the good work all along the firing line, and see that the most needed work in the whole project comes first.

PRINCE GEORGE-ALA HIGHWAY ROUTE

Following the conference of a few days ago, held in Ottawa be- tween American and Canadian members of the International Highway Commission at which Governor Gruening of Alaska and Commissioner Donald Me Donald of Fairbanks were pres ent - come two important an- nouncementS, namely: The com mission has recommended the selection of the Prince George Atlin, or middle route; and the highway construction will invol- Ve an expenditure of $25,000,000.
 The next step is to put the proposal up to the United States congress and the Canadian parlia ment. To get these two august bodies to approve is another thing.
 That the project long has had the approval of President Roose- welt and Administration leaders is common knowledge. That Can ada would like to see the high way become a reality, for de- Velopment of its vast dormant and rich areas of northern Brit iSh Columbia and Yukon, is also admitted
 The military exigency develop ing in face of critical world con ditions has stimulated the desires of both countries to see the high way constructed. With Canada heavily burdened by her partici- patton in the European war, leav es the financial burden to Amer lca. This the Administration seems willing to assume.

EDITORIAL
NEW ROADS FOR
 NORTHWEST ALASKA

Judging by the interest reflect ed in the office of the Territorial Highway Engineer by the filing of four candidates for election to that office, the road programs throughout Alaska are going to be important subjects of admin istration within the next year. Besides incumbent Wm H HeSse the following have filed their candidates, Victor C Rivers, Irving Nick. Reed and H c Mil Ter.
 This is the first time in the past six or seven years that such activity in this office has been manifested.
 Now is as good a time as will ever come when Nome and Se- ward Peninsula should demand it's share of the road develop ment projects of the Territory. There are many fields of mining opening up throughout this sec ton and as never before the cost of transportation of freight and supplies has become the govern ing factor whether this section of Alaska will pursue it's develop ment in the mining industry.
 Without an organized road pro gram Nome and Seward Penin- sula will be retarded. In this day and age that would be ridiculous. Main arterials to the larger min- ing centers should be pushed Without them rich mineral areas will continue to lie idle.
 The N w Alaska Chamber of Commerce has been preparing a report on road work in this Div ision, which it is understood will soon be ready. Definite proposals should be drawn up and present ed to the proper authorities. Lack of organized interest in the past has worked to the detriment of this section and now is the time to get busy and work for de- velopment of this section thru the construction of proper roads and highways throughout the Division.

Extension of Remarks of Hon. William L. Nelson


 In the House of Representatives
 Wednesday, Jan. 3, 1940
 MT. Nelson - MT. Speaker in December with the approach of the Christmas season, I suggest ed in the following press release to the newspapers of the Second Congressional District of Missouri that we compare our United Stat es of America with other places, almost any other place:
 Butchering hogs here, butcher ing humans over there; carols and singings here, crying and singing over there; corn shocks here, shock troops over there; el- ectric lights and telephone lines here, Maginot and Siegfried lin es over there; football fields here fighting fields over there; light ing our streets for Christmas here, "biackouts" of cities for safety over there; bringing in coal from mines for comfort here putting out floating mines for destruction over there; building homes here, bombing buildings over there; happy boys in C C C camps here, miserable men in concentration camps over there; a President fighting to keep men working here, dictators working to keep men fighting over there; freedom for every man to wor- ship God as he wills here, re- Strictions as one man wills all worships over there; free press and free speech here; censorship and suppression of truth over there; every man having some say in government here, one man having all say in government over there; prayers for peace on earth" here, a war that few want and nobody wins over there.

The Washington
 Newsletter
J. J. Eckles, Secretary To the Delegate

Pressing the stand he has al- ways advocated, that residents be given preference in the filing of jobs in the Territory for which they are qualified, Delegate Di- mond on January IF introduced two bills in the House, either of which if enacted will require that Alaskans be given priority in employment in the fisheries in dustry of the Territory.
 One of these would attain it's purpose through an amendment to the fishery law which would require the Secretary of the In- terior to insure so far as may be practical, by annual regula- tions, priority of employment to actual bona fide resident of AL aska, who have resided therein at least one year immediately prior to the date of making any such regulations, in all of the work, employment, trades and occupations incident to or con- nected with the taking, prepar- ing, canning, processing or pre- serving fish or shellfish in the Territory of Alaska or in the waters adjacent thereto"
 The other measure would set up an exact formula providing that at least certain minimum percentage of Alaska residents be employed in the fisheries each year with an annual increase in the ratio of resident employees to nonresidents until at the end of five years, only Alaska resi- dens would be employed in the fisheries.
 Under the provisions of the last mentioned bill every employ CT engaged in the fishing indus try would be required to keep a record of all persons employ ed showing the residence of each and in the case of resident en- ployees the date on which they acquired residence in the Terri tory. The records would always be open to inspection of the offic CTS and agents of the Interior De partment, the Bureau of Fisher ies, the Treasurtr of Alaska. the Territorial Labor Commissioner, and the Attorney General of AL aska. Independent fishermen sell ing their catch to an employer would be considered as employ ees of the purchaser.
 The Delegate believes that the enactment of either of the proros ed measures will go far toward increasing the resident popula- ton of Alaska as well as insur- ing a livlihood to bona fide Alas kans now engaged in the fishery industry.

Motorized forces and infantry were
engaged In particularly violent fights
between Valenciennes and Cambria,
1t was reported, with the battle de-
veloping to the satisfaction OF the
French high command,
Gen. Maxine Weygand, on the
basis OF experts limitations, believed
that 1t was between the Scarpe and
Escaut and the Somme that the test
between Adolf Hitler's blitzkrieg
forces and the Allied armies would
be fought to the finish.
The grave anxiety shown In Great
Britain over the German thrust to
the Channel was not reflected here,
French strategists insisted that the
German wedge toward the Channel
was but lightly held and that the
main German army was going to
make its big win or lose gamble on
the Flanders battle-ground.

Allies, the long German spearhead
to the Channel ports would be cut
In two and would soon collapse be-
cause the encircled Allied armies

cut off the small German detach-

Closure Of the gap would mean
