 ernment. At last years meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade in Juneau, an Alaskan committee led by Norman Banfield submitted the resolution which requested the con- struction of this road.
 The Whitehorse-Jake's Corner road is the first link of Juneaus road connection with the Alaska Highway and is also the first link of the proposed coast highway from Hazelton, BC., to Whitehorse.
 A resolution was passed at the meeting requesting the construction of the coast highway from Hazel ton, BC., to Atlin. A similar reso- lution was passed last year Known as Route A, the coast highway was considered as an alternate route at the time of the construction of the Alaska Highway.
 CAR FERRIES PROPOSED
 The Alaskan delegation also pro- posed that the United States gov  ernment connect Prince Rupert and Haines by ferry service for motor vehicles which would bring the advantages of good roads to Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, and Juneau. Tine ferry service would connect the Carihoo Highway, from Vancouver to Prince George, and the Skeena Highway from Prince George to Prince Rupert, with the Haines cutoff and the Alaska High way.
 Al Ghezzi of the Alaska Freight Lines inaugurated barge service between Prince Rupert and Haines this year. Freight for the Interior is being brought by railway into Prince Rupert, and then trans shipped to Haines and over the Highway to Fairbanks.
 Passed unanimously was a reso- lution requesting that the Dominion government and British Columbia work towards maintaining the Ca nadian section of the Haines Cut off and the road to Prince Rupert on a 12-month basis.
 OTHER RESOLUTIONS
 Other resolutions sponsored by the Alaskan delegation which were approved were: the request that an Alaskan representative be appointed to the International Halibut Com mission when the next vacancy occurs; and giving of colorful names to major highways and the placement of road markers on high ways and ferry routes.
 The Alaskan delegation and theI Terrace Board of Trade cooperated on a resolution requesting the eliml- nation of present obstacles to treei travel between Alaska, Canada, and the United States and removal from tariff lists of certain commodities such as coal, oil products, fresh produce and certain lumser pro- ducts to the end that trade be- tween these areas be encouraged for the stabilization and integration of the areas into one regional ecQ7 7d homie unit.
 A proposed amendment to sup port statehood for Alaska was tabled by the resolution committee because the majority felt that statehood was an Alaskan issue.
 Dr. L. M Greene of Prince Ru- pert was chairman of the resolu- tions committee and Alaskans on the committee were Susy Winn, L. s. Ferris and William Baker.

ESSENTIAL ATTRACTIONS

Rumors have been revived in Key
West about the possibility of finding oil in
the Florida Keys. Apparently, the chief
reason for the rumors is that sand and
rock, brought up from the deep we'll in
Big Pine Key, are black and oily.
Operators on Big Pine reported, when
the well there was capped, that oil had
not been found. Similar statements were
made about the wells that had been drilled
at Key Largo and Sugar Loaf.
The potential wealth of the Keys lies
in something of far more importance than
finding oil--climate. The discovery of oil
would result i'm land boom, in which a
comparative few would make much money
and the many would lose money-some-
thing that has happened in finding oil
throughout the world.
But the climate on the Keys, with
Key West at the southernmost point, is
now attracting more and more visitors,
year after year. Many who had come to
visit. remained either for the mere pleasure
or residing here or to go into business.
Besides the climate, which win exert
its drawing power to a greater extent in
the immediate future, recreations, such as
boating and fishing. appeal to large
percentage of people. at
Because of those solid reasons, it
probably would be better not to discover
oil in the Keys. Were a gusher brought in,
let us say on Big Pine it would not be long
before the landscape through the Keys
would be dotted with derrieks.
Most owners of Key property, who
had intended to build residences. hotels.
pavilions, or casinos, would instead put up
derricks to drill for OIL The Florida Keys
are essentially suited, because of climate,
for winter residence, so it would be wise
for as to be contented with the attractions
they offer to ever-increasing numbers of
people from all over the United States.

SETTLEMENT UP TO RUSSIA

Congress has been urged by group
of theologians and educators to reject the
North Atlantic Pact and President Tru-
man has been called upon to begin direct
negotiations with Russia to settle out
standing differences
Rejection of the Atlantic Pact is
based upon the belief that it will make the
world situation more critical and the
advice to negotiate with the Russians
apparently stems from an idea that once
the President and Joseph Stain sit down
together, everything will be all right.
II we take factual view of the i'm
passe between the Western nations and
Russia, we find that there is abundant
opportunity for negotiation about out
standing issues in the United Nations or
ganization. Repeatedly, the effort has
been made to secure some form of coopera-
ton from the Russians.
II is difficult to believe that this CO.
operation, which has been lacking in con-
nection with practically every matter con-
sidered, would be forthcoming if personal
negotiations were instituted
The situation that exists in world af-
fairs today is not due to the effort of the
democratic countries to control the world
by force. It results solely from the de-
cision of Russia to cut herself aloof from
her war allies and to organize her part of
the world on AM antagonistic basis. So
long as this spirit dominates the actions
of the Russians, there is small chance of
successful negotiation.

COMPETITION IN SEARCH FOR ARK

Some weeks ago we commented upon
the dispatch of an American expedition
to search for Noah's ark, which, it was
said, might be found on the top of Mount
Ararat, which straddles the Arabian
Turkish frontier and lies close to the border
of the Soviet Republic.
Now comes the information from
Moscow that British and Dutch expedi-
ton will join in the search, which the
Communist press denounces as another
excuse for espionage"
It would be natural for the Soviet to
doubt the good faith of the searchers who
profess to believe that wooden ark, To-
Gated on the top Of a mountain, had out
lasted the deterioration of centuries, but
Americans, familiar with the free think
ing of individuals and the variety of en-
terprises attempted, easily understand the
situation.
