WHY SHOULD THE UNITED STATES
 PLAY SANTA CLAUS TO CANADA?


 
 At the meeting of the International Highway Comi scion held recently in ottawe and att tended by Alaska's Governor Gruening the AMERICAN DELEGATES proposed that the United States government would pay 8o% of the cost of a highway thru Canada to flask or $l6, 1000 1000 of the cost since the en- tire project is estimated at $20, 1000, 1000. Of all the bu shwa! Why should the United States government let the taxpayers of the United States in for paying sixtee million dollars toward highway to get to Alaska when they couldn't get anywhere IN Alaska after they touched it since Alaska has only 2,385 miles of widely scattered lengths of highway just 2l5 feet (not yards or rods) per square mile?
 The boosters for the Int ernat onal Highway put out lot of talk about it being needed as military defense road. WHEN, AS, and IF it is needed as mi1itar road it will build it self in doub1e-quick time and Canada will jump into the job 50 per cent s worth Instead of 20 per cent, without time out for argument.
 When Territ oria1 highway engineer Will liam 4. Hesse sugge sted to the governor that 8 more liberal appropriation should be made by the federal government toward Alaska road devel opment he was told that since Alaska occupied the position of began it could not hope to dictate such matt
 Alaska beggar! Ha!
 The federal government stands in the position of g parent to Alaska and never in hi istory have normal, right minded par ent 8 provided for the children of their neighbors and left their own children nak- ed and starved.
 MT. Hesse says: "Sixteen million dol- lars, the amount proposed to be donated to Canada by the American delegates, would almost, but not quite satisfy she present demand for roads in Alaska which are sorel needed to keep our indu stries alive and to create new ones.
 "The records show that of all the money expended upon road construction and main tenance at the present time, the Territory contributes 263 per cent out of it's treas ury and that of the funds expended for roads in Alaska by the federal government, |, lO.7 per cent i s derived from taxes col1ec ted and timber sold IN THE TERRITORY"

complete extinction OF civilization.
Devastated London is but a symbol
Of the destruction Of the finer values
in life everywhere. If ever there
was crisis in the world, this is it.
Millions of words have been writ
ten within this present year con-
corning the alignment of "the pow
ers." Yet wholly disproportionate
attention has been paid to the su-
preme question of alignment with
the greatest power Of all-the only
power that can bring peace and
good will. We marvel that Chris
tians everywhere have not been as
sembling IN mass fellowship to storm
heaven by prayer. We are in a mood
to understand Abraham Lincoh's
familiar saying, II have often been
driven to my knees by the conscious
ness that had nowhere else to CO."
When the King of Great Britain
and the President of the United
States a few months ago urgently
and reverently called the people to q

mon outpourings Of desperate peu-
tions. Usually, the minister men
toned the matter In his regular
prayer, and that was all.
The people have not yet been
driven to their knees by a con-
sciousness Of desperate need. They
have not sought the one open road
which is the only way out'-the
road that leads by the throne OF
the Omnipotent. We confess our sin
of prayerlessness. Who of us has
prayed, in agony of tears, and
throughout the night, for heavenly
succor to our times? We talk and
argue and speculate and scan the
newspapers avidly and listen to in
terminable radio comments; but
who puts first the opportunity and
duty of prayer?
Benefits Measured.
All the benefits which flow from
essential Christianity-liberty, de-
mocracy, fraternity and peace-are
menaced today as never before
Surely, their maintenance is con-
Germ of God. His honor is involved,
as well as the safety Of mankind.
Our sins. personal, national and
social, have brought this terrible
punishment upon us. Still God Is
q forgiving Father. He waits to be
gracious. He desires that men turn
to Him. in humble prayer and faith.
Persistence in prayer affects God,
as Jesus portrayed in the parallels
Of our present lesson. In His good
time-which sincere prayers may
hasten-He will make bare His
mighty arm, and confound the evil
forces that have fiouted Him and
His standards for the race.
On the wall OF the ONCE of a
famous physician in Canada, to
whom tens Of thousands Of sufferers
flock every year, I read the little
motto, Prayer Changes Things"
BY that token I felt that 1 knew
more about the man than I had
learned from many newspaper and
magazine articles. Achievement
grounded in faith: There is no other
secret of success" like unto it.
So We join the company of Christ s
disciples in crying. Lord, teach us
to pray" For prayer is to be learned.
1t Is the highest art of religion. It
is the Christians ultimate refuge,
