By Rail To Alaska

Assuming that railroad will be built from Prince George B, C., to Fairbanks, Alaska (and the report by Chairman Frederic A. Deano of the National Re Planning Board to President Roosevelt gives every hope that this will become reaty) this ques tion is immediately raised
 How will goods flow from the United States to Alaska?
 The report of MT Deano lists five points of access Or these three intermediate routes from the United States to Canadian lines may be dismissed as compar- atVey unimpOrtant.
 We believe any railroad operating man will agree that the railroad is built the great bulk of traffic it will flow either through Winnipeg or through Seattle and Vancouver
 If the flow is through Winnipeg Pacific Coast States and Western railroads will be left on the sideines AL aSka will be nconvenenced since the natural route for all freight and communications is the direct route from Seattle northWard
 This can be the route for railroad freight but only Ii better rail connections are provided between Seat tie and Prince George than those now available The present route swings far to the east through Red Pass Junction. before connection is made with the Can adian National Line leading to Prince George
 Again point out to all interested in maintaining present ties between Alaska and other sections of the Pacific Coast the necessity for developing shorter and more easily available railroad route to Prince George Such a route is possible through use of the present Pacific Great Eastern Railroad extending it at the north to Prince George and building compar- atiVely short connection at the south with the Can adian National line to Vancouver.
 Such connection probably will determine, not merely the routing of railroad traffic but the routing of the highway being constructed is primarily a linking of airports There is need for real highway well for a railroad and Puget Sound and the Pac- fife Coast must not be left to one side.

Production Speeds Forward

While details of production of war equipment are carefully guarded in the interest of military secrecy recent dispatches indicated that the aircraft n dustry is approaching the goal of 5000 planes month and that American production of fighting craft will soon exceed the combined production of Germany Japan Italy and the Occupied countries.
 In regard to the production of other necessary itemS such tanks and guns production is proceeding vast scale threatening to overwhem shipping facil- ites.
 | is also plain that the United States and Great Britain completing organization to coordinate closely the productive facilities of the United Na
 ons and 10 conserve precious shipping space. Along with this comes the announcement of War Time Food Committee to determine the question of the various types of food needed to supply military, civilian Lease-Lend and other demands. The Food Authority will control the production and aocation of food supply giving precedence to the needs of Allied ed forces, including American, British and Russian.
 There are also reports in Washington as chroncled in dispatches that consideration is being given to the issuance of joint Ango-American production com munques to give full detailed and explicit figures the current output of armament in every category This step would not be considered unless revelation of the situation would result in overwhelming favorable re- suits.
 Probably the most troublesome item in the public mind is the sinking of ships along the coast but this is offset to some extent, by reports that the United States and Great Britain working upon sweeping plans for intensified campaign against submarines.
 In this country the House Naval Affairs Committee, recently expressed its confidence in the Navy and the conduct of ant-submarne warfare pointing out that
 n the past few weeks, the submarine has largely with drawn from our Eastern Seaboard and is operating farther at sea"
 The Committee pointed out that the country at large sees the anti-submarine problem but does not know the other demands which confront the Navy in nearly every part of the world It answers criticism that fighter craft fishing boats and small planes have not been used for search lookout rescues etc The Com- mttee says that 1t is satisfied that such criticism is in general, not justified "-Farbanks NeWs-Miner

 GERMAN CLASH
First Land Battle Between Two Countries Since
 World War l
BY c. R. CUNNINGHAM

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Allied Headquarters in North Africa, Nov. 20-(UP)--An Ameri- can army defeated the Germans in their first land battle since the World War, headquarters spokes- man said today, driving foreward with British and French to pen Axis forces in the narrow Bizerte- Tunis triangle for desert Dun- kirk"
 Lieut.. Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hower's spokesman revealed the U. S. success in the initial encounter with German land troops in Tunl- ,Sia.
 The brief battle was fought 30 miles southeast of Tunis close to the Gulf of Hammamet. It appear ed that the Americans may already stand at Hammamet, cutting off Tunis-Bizerte from any land con- nection with the Axis in Tripoli.
 The Germans launched four sharp attacks on the Americans, headuuarters reported, and were thrown back with considerable losses. Simultaneously a British force moving on Bizerte from the east smashed German tank col umn, destroying eight Of 34 arm ored machines.
 The battle was fought close to Zebla, 30 miles west Of Blzerte.
 Eisenhower's spokesman said:
 "There is & big Allied surge east
 .-,.Al. phiapt nf creating q desert Dunkirk. We have had few brushes but things are happen ing very rapidly and more IS go- ing to happen very shortly. The big fight is yet to come"
 The headquarters reports indl- cated that Allies rapidly are eX- tending their control to all ot 1u- nisia except Bizerte-Tunis where the Nazis were hastily erecting mi-eircular defense line radiatlng about 30 miles from the two ports
 French authorities and troops ln Tunisia were said to be cooperating fully with the Americans ana BTU ish despite Nazi threats.
 American, British and French troops were driving rapidly across Tunisia in all areas, reports to headouarters said, and closing in ring around the northeast corner where Bizerte and Tunis are To- rated.
 The initial clash of American and German troops occurred about 50 miles southeast of Tunis yesterday, apparently close to the shore of the Gulf of Hammamet.
 (The Allied report indicated that Sirtually all of Tunisia may already be in Allied hands with the excep- ton of the small Bizerte-Tunis trla angle.)
 The American force beat back the rIerman5 in the initial clash.
 A spokesman for Lieut., Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower said:
 we've had a few brushes but things are happening very rapidly and more is going to happen very shortly. The big fight is yet to some."
