WHEN PEACE COMES

If the should end this week, only eight states in this country would be ready with complet- ed plans for postwar public works to provide im- mediate jobs for the of workers who will be thrown out of jobs, and returning service men Four more states, including Washington our neigh bor to the south, will have such plans ready in a few months
 Some progress also has been made in dozen or more other states, but the National Resources Planning Board, which recently completed a survey of the situation, reports that from six months to a year will be required to complete specifications for the projects these latter states have in mind.
 We wonder if much thought has been given to postwar planning in Alaska Since the unex- plained evacuation of the National Resources Plan ming Board office from its Juneau headquarters to Portland Oregon little has been said about planning here.
 We do know, however, that there is a definite need for planning agency in the Territory. The adjustment here will be indeed difficult one.
 Exact figures on the number of civilians recruit ed in the States and brought to Alaska for work oii bases are now regarded information which would be valuable to the enemy and rightly so. But it is giving the enemy comfort to the figure is not

 When the job is over many of these workers probably will return to the States from whence they came, others will stay to continue maintenance work for a time it is believed But some of them pro- baby will attempt to make living in Alaska
 Likewise many of the service men, also con- siderable figure have voiced desire to settle down in the Territory after the This statement has been made by ADO Commander Maj Gen. Simon B. Buckner Jr, more than once
 Any Jag in the conversion from war to peace in Alaska would throw a dangerous burden relief organizations and upon the small part of the popu- lation that has been able to stick to the old job
 Not only Territorial officials, but city officials should be thinking about this problem which will be forced upon them when peace comes Before it is late. Alaskan city officials should initiate some program of community self appraisal Each city could well study employment figures, at least make an attempt to determine the number of persons who would be thrown out of work with the end of war projects study plans for reborn public enter prise and local Improvements.
 Through these studies most communities should be able to determine in advance which industries are destined to close at the end of the war which ones will convert to peacetine production, and what new industries have the best chance of prospering because of local markets materially skilled labor

Canada's New Dam

Cincinnati Enquirer
 In the United States we are likely to look upon ourselves the greatest construction engineers in the world. We point with pride to our many tre- mendous power dalns-some in the Far West, some along the Tennessee Valleyas proof of our prowess
 Now it appears that our neighbor to the north, Canada also is leader in the field of electrical power construction. A Canadian power project which is larger than our own Boulder Dam now is being pushed to completion at unnamed point in the Canadian wilderness.
 The new dam will generate a million horse power while Boulder Dam will generate under mil lion; more than 10000 men being employed on the Canadian dam; at Boulder, the peak of em- ployment placed only 5,250 men on the payroll Boulder Dam was built in five years: the Cana dians will complete their gigantic plant in half that time And it should be remembered that this work is being accomplished during scarcity of both work and material
 Power already is being generated at the Cana dian plant, for industries, it is to be presumed To try to imagine the location would be futile since throughout the vast Canadian Dominion are thou sands of which could be converted into tremendous electric resources
 Since the wars start, there have been many times when we of America have been glad to take off our hats to Canada; in tribute to her abilities in the construction field glad to do it again
