 U. S. FARMER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. The House, by unanimous consent, has passed legislation redefining agri- cultural parity to include the costs of all farm labor, a step against which Roosevelt expressed tunal- terable opposition" when the anti imitation proposals were before Congress two months ago.
 Representative Stephen Pace author of the bill, told the House he did not know the effects the bill might have on living costs. It now goes to the Senate.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard de- clared today, T have no intention and no wish to fasten government controls in perpetuity upon the food industry"

 Panhandle Would Profit

Panhandle Would Profit
 But the benefits of the new road will only reach Southeast Alaskan cities indirectly. The construction of network of roads connecting Alaskas coast, from Skagway to Nome, would greatly benefit South east Alaska, especially such roads as the Haines cutoff. It is pro- bable that there will be many such roads as the route inland from Haines. It will be to a military ad- vantage to construct distribution network from the end of the route, the hub of Fairbanks.
 The Haines road will more close | ly connect both ends of Alaska than any other road. It will make the route up the Inside Passage almost a straight shoot to Fair banks by vessel and vehicle. It should materially increase water traffic in the protected inside route.
 Cheaper Route The water-road route to Fair banks via Haines would be much cheaper than the all-land route inland and also could well furnish & brisk competition means of keep ing freight and passenger rates for transportation along the Alcan Highway at a reasonable level after the war.
 Although there will be no civil ian travel on the Alcan Highway until after the war, it is doubtful even then that the new overland route will take over any of the water traffic up the Inside Pas sage from Seattle. It will add to the water traffic.
 Even though the Alcan road winds its way through numerous scenic attractions, there are many long stretches of monotonous land 5cape that would soon dull tn e motorists interest. To drive the new inland Alaska route both ways probably will not became the prac- tice of travellers.
 Could Ship Autos
 On the other hand, the spark ling Inside Passage trip would fur nish the other end of the loop And the Haines road would fur .nish the connection with steamers travelling the coastal waters. Mo- torists will find that it will be much cheaper to drive down to Haines and ship their autos back to Seattle than to drive back the way they came. Others may not be interested in the stretch through Canada and would ship the autos up from Seattle and other ports to drive them off at Haihes and tour Interior, Alaska.
 Juneau, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg and Skagway are des- tined to profit from the new route and its connections. Haines will finally become a city @i'-
 Gen. O'Connor has said that the Haines route will be built this win ter. You can bet your boots that it will be.

Picked His Firm
Chosen as Guinea Pig
for Attempted Recoveries
on Contracts for Arms

Continental Motors Corporation
of Detroit was selected as the

tracts because OF its past CO.

because Of any question as TO the

"WPB and army officials

rightly "a. that price quoted

tails first contract called for 80

scared Ia "A point far greater
than was thought possible when
initial contracts were negoti-

There has been question In
the minds of government Of
ficia,s whether profits should he
recaptured through excess prof
its taxes or by reOpening con-
tracts. They have finally decided
10 try the latter method.
Suggested by Firm
I'VE have been led to believe
that another reason Continental
was the first selected was that
the firms outstanding friendly
labor relations preclude the pos
sibility of any repercussiOns
from that direction" he added.

that the announced S40000,000 re
