 Alaska's Governor will arrive here Monday to press his case, Chapman said. The Governor is expected to be in New York to- day
 One Interior official, who asked net to be identified, said the AL askan situation was especially acute" but he would not commit himself on the idea of asking Ar my-Navy help.
 There have been no relief ships to Alaska, an Interior official said, which has accentuated the need there as the Territory depends for practically all of it's supplies . Of feod on the mainland" He said some help would be gained in movement of sending food on the Alaska Highway in trucks, under a new agreement with Canada. but that would be a dribble as com pared with shiploads.
 Delegate E. L. Bartlett of Alaska said he has asked President Tru- man to order relief ships to carry food to his Territory The same day Alaska's Governor announced in Juneau he had appealed to the President to authorize use of Army and Navy vessels to transport need cd food.
 Yesterday the Washington office of the Seattle Chamber of Com- meroe appealed to the President and the Secretaries of Labor, In- terior and Commerce to get the strike settled so that ships could be dispatched to Alaska with food. clothing, building material and ether supplies needed before win ter se.s i'll.

SHIP STRIKE TAKEN UP IN WASHINGTON

proximately SIP in Ketchikan. The identical item, bought from the fac tory near Chicago and sent to Ketchikan via Prince Rupert, was scld by the same merchant for slightly more than $8. And his profit on the $8 item was 50 per cent as against 40 percent pro- fit on the item from Seattle.
 New Business Source
 As regards political pressures which undoubtedly will be put upon government authorities by interests from Washington, President Smith pointed out that equal if not great CT pressure of the same kind can be brought to bear by the companies in the Midwest who would be get ting the Alaska business.
 The quota setup under which many merchants now are allocated goods was also discussed Alaska is included in the quotas fer the Northwest, and if shipping is not available to bring the goods North, when the period for that particular allotment has expired, the goods for Alaska are lost. At least one company has already given notice that Alaska is to be separated from the Northwest generally and put in a special quota classification. It is hoped other concerns will follow suit.
 A pledge has been made the Briggs Steamship Company by UNA that local merchants will support it's activities and services insofar as it is money-making proposition for them.
 MT Sundborg commented that, whereas Briggs estimates 20 per- cent lower shipping rate under the new plan as compared to prevail ing rates from Seattle, the steam ship companies are even now work ing toward a consolidation of their businesses. They would like to form a merger of all three American steamship concerns serv- ing Alaska, and get a corner on the territory's trade. subsequently making a 50 percent increase in rates This would msan much larger percentage of saving for cbironers via Prince Runert on small vpesel~ ssls~ss
 Jim Cole, local barge operator, stated, however, that an article recently in Marine Digest had tip- ped the hand of the steamship companies to the effect that Alas kan Transportation company is even now working toward further re- strictions by law against shipping in small craft such as now are carrying goods North.

 SAVINGS BONDS

Katherine D. Nordale, Director of the U. S. Savings Bonds Division for Alaska, announces the opening of the second peacetime publicity campaign for the sale of U. s. Saw ings Bonds.
 Beginning November II, Armistice Day, and closing December T, Pearl Harbor anniversary nationwide publicity will be given in all media to promote the sale of Savings Bonds. The American Banks Asso- citation through it's 15,000 member banks has pledged full cooperation with the Treasury.
 G. E. Cleveland, President of the First National Bank of Juneau, and ABA Savings Bond Chairman for Alaska, has lined up the Alaska banks, all of whom are members of the ABA, to back the campaign in the Territory.
 The objectives of the campaigg are to bring again to public at tention the fact that U S Savings Bonds, Series E, F, and c. are still being sold: that they are still the finest investment in the world for savings, totally without risk; and to point out that money invested in Savings Bonds by individuals furnishes to the Treasury funds to retire the bank-held debt. thereby reducing present expanded money and credit and contributing to the control of inflationary pres sures.
 So far this year, the Treasury has retired $1945 billions in short-term securities. Part of this came from the net sales of Savings Bonds.

E. W. Patton Arranging for Supplies of Meat, Eil.,
 Over Highway

EDMONTON, Alta, Nov. 9.-E. w. Patton of Fairbanks, Alaska, is ne- gotiating with packing plants and price board representatives here for purchases of produce for shipment to Alaska as an emergency measure to ease desperate shortages there Representing the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce and a truck ing association, Patton is endeav- oring to buy meat and other food supplies for Alaska, which has been cut off from the sea-shipped food for two months because of the mar time strike on the United States West Coast.
 There should be no difficulty in getting the stuff into Alaska over the (Alaska) highway if we can buy it." he said. The announce Iment that United States goods may be shipped by truck in bond clears the way there.
 We still face the problem of ration coupons for meat and other goods we may be able to purchase in Canada"
 Patton said some meat had been lined up" in Great Falls, Mont, and yesterday he telephoned Fair banks asking that trucks be sent south to collect 1t.
 He said he preferred to buy beef in Edmonton to avoid the long truck haul from Great Falls, and added orc Edmonton packing plant told him they would sell If ration coupons were produced.
 This is an emergency move and I will meet with your prices board officials to see what coupons can be obtained, he said.
 Meat can be trucked from Ed monton at a reasonable cost. Flour is just about non- existant in the Fairbanks area, and we may have more trouble making flour pur- chasas than with other items due to the U. S.-Canada quota set-up."
 If a way is cleared for food ship ments North from Edmonton, Pat ton said there are about couple hundred trucks" in Fairbanks ready to go into action. If meat ship ments by truck from Edmonton prove satisfactory, it was possible Alaska business men would seek ex- tension Of the system, making Ed monton a secondary source of food for the North.

CITY MERCHANTS PLAN NEW ROUTE
 FROM MIDWEST
Plans Discussed at Well Attended Meeting Held
 Here Last Evening

Members of the Juneau Mer- chants Association, at general meeting last evening in the Baranof Hotels Gold Room, discussed the action taken by their organization and Ketchikan merchants ill locat- ing a new source of supply for Alaska in the Midwest
 This would consist in buying from markets in Chicago and the area including Minneapolis and St. Paul, shipping by rail to Prince Rupert, B. C., and from there by power barge to Southeast Alaska ports. Briggs Steamship Company is plan ming to put one vessel into service in December, and to have two com pletely refrigerated barges working a five day schedule by Spring of next year. Also there are local barge owners who would be able to add to the service from Prince Rupert.
 Seattle, as JMA President George Smith remarked last night, has long been regarded as the Gateway to Alaska" But that gateway has been kept pretty well closed for the last year; and the records for the past 14 years show a constant repetition O. the same dismal picture.
 Alaska omiering
 George Sundborg, chairman ot the Alaska Development Board, in a brief statement before the group, remarked further that not only is the present deplorable shipping sit- uation hurting Alaska today; but the future of the territory is suf- fering considerably, particularly as regards the interest directed now towards Alaska by various large concerns desirops of evDlaitieT ,ne'l- sources of raw materials. If the shipping situation does not improve, or if some solution is not found. these concerns will be forced to turn elsewhere.
 The present development is the first positive action attempted by merchants as a group to counteract the Seattle bottleneck to the ship ment of goods of all sorts to the territory.
 Lcgica; Elan
 Summing up the whole plan, Mar shall Irwin stated: This seems a logical and competitive way to get our goods in We have no argu- ments with Seattle, but we want and must have our stuff; this is a fair means of assuring ourselves of a constant and dependable SUD- ply"
 The new Midcontinent purchasing sources and the Canadian ship ping route would bring to South east Alaska much more than just groceries. A revealing comparison of the volumes of Alaska bound cargoes was made, using figures gathered by the ADB. Only 25 percent of the goods shipped north consists of edible groceries. The largest single percentage is liquor and intoxicating beverages; second place goes to machinery and ma chine repair, equipment.
 At last nights meeting, furnl- ture, textiles, and general hardware were mentioned as items which could be handled by this route. An example was. made of a piece of radio equipment which, bought and shipped from Seattle, sold for ap-
