In an able article appearing in the Post-Intelligencer and reproduced Tn thls weeks issue of The Alaska Weekly, Doug Welch, who has made a consider able study of the joint highway problems of the Northwest and British Columbia, tells some plain facts concerning the British Columbian attitude about the Alcan Highway.
 Those facts verify the statements made editorally in this publication when it was first made known that the Army had decided to spend S300,000,000 to build a highway for serVicing. certain Canadian airfields.
 We said then, and now repeat the statement, that the Alcan Highway was valueless to the Puget Sound area, to British Columbia and to Alaska, that it offered scant tourist attraction, that 1t made available no known sources of mineral wealth and that when it revert ed to Canadian trusteeship it was destin- ed to fall into disrepair and disuse unless the government of the United States saw fit to defray the expense of it's mainte- nance.
 So far as concerns the official attitude of British Columbia we have no criti- cism to offer. There is absolutely no justification from any practical peace time standpoint for British Columbia to pay out tax dollars for upkeep on high way which offers no development possi- bilitieS while numerous rich areas of the Province only await transportation fac ilitieS to open up tremendous resources. It would be almost as sly as for the State of Washington to undertake sim liar commitment
 If it can be demonstrated that the fu- ture security of the North American con- tinent requires this highway, or if the development of Canada's postwar air business depends upon it's maintenance, then the Dominion government has a
