Chapman Calls
For Joint Effort

Washington (P)-Secretary
of the Interior Chapman called
for the joint development of
the far north by the U. S. and
Canada.
He said that Alaska alone
has a multi-million dollar fu-
ture and could produce fifty
billion kilowatt hours of hydro
electric energy annually.
He added that the thinly
settled part of northwestern
Canada if properly developed,
could support a population of
six million.
Chapman's statements were
made in a report to Congress
on the recently completed
$150,000 field study of en-
gineering and economic prob
lens of northern areas. He al
SO said that Alaska will ultim-
ately contribute a billion dol
lars a year to the nations in
come.

viii renew their efforts to return
TO the Presidents plan Of giving

their heritage TO Congress Is q

plicated question never to give
State the benefit Of the doubt.
The extravaganza Of the mill
tary is a favorite topic with

Senate, after rejecting the single
agency plan Of the House, gave
the Defense Department full
charge Of military aid without
interference from State. This
represents almost entirely q
vote Of confidence In Deputy
Secretary Of Defense Lovett over
Secretary Of State AcheSon.
It is being said rather gen.
orally too that the case for the

the closed hearings Of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations and

though a years work had gone

propaganda menace In Western

lively enthusiastic temper Of

When German rearmament by

taliation.
The turning point, after some
months Of hesitancy, came with
the French suggestion that there
be created q West European
army in which concessions Of
sovereignty be made by all
parties but with a foundation
Of equality. It was q plan on
which military men in particu-
lar, including British and Amer

five months representatives Of
France, Italy, Belgium. Luxem-

Cussed the preliminaries Of such

Many people have assumed
also that the military men were

This thing came up In Septem-

was not pressed by the Joint

In fairness to the witnesses,
