Canadian Cash Build Air Route To Alaska
By ROBERT J. CASEY

By ROBERT J. CASEY
 INTERCOURSE, Y. T, Canada Looking back at the war from this point of view, saWed-off mountaintop under the northern lights, it appears that the most spectacular, if ont the most inn portant achievement of the Unit ed States defense problem, has been achieved by the dominion of Canada on Canadian time and, believe it or not, with Canadian money.
 For this frozen paradise is the keynote of a new and amaz- ing air route from the United States to Canada, or say, from Kelly Field (Texas) to Tokyo its ground paths and landing fields have been literally cut out of an unexplored wilderness to trim 1000 mile or more off the trans-Pacific crossing, to skip the menace of yelled mountain peaks and glacial ridges and to dupe the fickle weather that hitherto has made flying in the north so hazardous and uncertain.
 Fast-Service, regular-service, safe-service-American bombers are getting up here now in mat ter of a few hours, flying an in- terior route where there are few CT mountains than along the coastal skyways and the weather is more set in its way.
 Tomorrow the ships of we'll managed commercial airline can be doing the same thing, al- though nobody seems to be think ing much about that phase of the business just now.
 WHITEHORSE BEAM
 A couple of day ago a nice looking lad named McDougalI threw a switch in the Whitehorse airport radio shack. There was no ceremony about it, no gover- nors cutting ribbons, or driving gold spikes, or anything like that The only witnesses to the histor- ic event were some painters and carpenters whose work is not quite finished
 South of the border, 1000 milA es away, 1t Is hardly likely that any patriotic American knew yhat was going on, which is some thing of a pity for the closing of that switch meant just about as much to the Pacific coast of the United States as the launch ing of a couple of battleships. It turned on the power in the first of the radio beam stations that in a few more weeks will be lead ing airplane Iblindly, but unerr- ingly, through night and fog and tempest and snow from Calgary to Nome.
