Large Aluminium
 Project Scheduled For West Canada

VICTORIA, B. C. {P)-British Columbia started off 1851 with a bang-an agreement with the Aluminium Company of Canada that should lead eventually to a $5OO,OOO,000 development in the northern B. . wilderness.
 Lan1s Minister E. T. Kenrey signed an agreement during the weekend giving the company wa ter rights for a vast hydro devel- opment in the Tweedsmuir Park area, about 400 miles north of Vancouver.
 No further details were given. Certain features of the agreement require sanction of the B. C. Leg islatuer, which opens its 1851 ses- sion Feb. 20.
 ''For that reason we are unable to say anything more than the fact that negotiations started with the company in 1947 have receiv- ed the final touches at long last," MT. Kenney told a press confer ence Saturday.
 ''This is a fine way for the peo- pie of British Columbia to start 195E" he added.
 ''It's the biggest thing we've ever seen. I doubt if there has ever been a larger contract before in Canada"
 The agreement covers water rights in the Tamtsa-E -Emano wa tersheds of Tweedsmuir Park where the company proposes to develop a 500,000-h p. power plant on the Memano River as the first stage of a l,5OO,0O0-h.p. de- velopment. .t.-
 Construction of the power plant would follow building of a dam in the. grand canyon of the Nechako River, about 16O miles from the coast. This. would back up the wa ters in the Tahtsa- Kema1o water sheds to permit hydro develop ment. F. ?. The power site is about 50 miles from the Kitimat, the tiny Indian village at tidewater which in a few years may become an alum mum boom town of probably 50,- 900 population.

 MT. Truman omitted any spe- cific mention of many of the pro- posalS he has called the 'sfair deal"-such as civil rights laws which Congress in the past has re- fused to give him.
 But he emphasized the possible long range nature of the present era of tension and told the legis- lators they should give continued attention to "the measures which our country will need for the long pull" He continued:
 "To take just one example-we need to continue and complete the work of rounding out our system of social insurance. We still need to improve our protection against unemployment and old age. We still need to provide insurance against loss of earnings through sickness, and against the high costs of modern medical care.
 Above all, we must remember that the fundamentals of our strength rest upon the freedoms of our people"
 Solemnly, the President told the lawmakers they face "as grave task as any Congress in the his tory of the Republic
 Emphasizing the uncertainty of the times ahead, he said:
 Peace is precious to us. It is the way of life we strive for with all the strength and wisdom we possess. But more precious than peace are freedom and justice. ! "We will fight, if fight we must, to keep our freedom and to pre- vent justice frombeing destroyed"
 And finally, he closed by say ing: "This is our cause = peace, freedom, justice. We will pursue this cause with determination and humility, asking divine guidance that in all we do we may follow Gods will"
 MT. Truman pledged that this country will not abandon its lead ership of "the community of free nation"
 Replying, in effect to recent de- mandS by former President Hoo- yer and Republican Senator Rob- ert A. Taft that this country limit its military aid to Western Europe, The President declared Americas national security is too deeply in- vOlved to allow any withdrawal of help.
 "Our national security" he said, ''would be gravely prejudiced if lIlc OONlct OIl1OIl were tO SuCC00Q in harnessing to its war machine the resources and the manpower of the free nations on the borders of its empire."
 In his report on mobilization ef- forts, the President said American industry must be made capable of producing 5O,OO0 planes and 35 ,OOO tanks year. But he said he hoped there would never be any neces- sity to produce that many.
 Much of his address was con- cerned with the grave information al situation and he appealed to the legislators: l

ANOTHER DOUBLECROSs FOR ALASKA

Anchorage Daily Times)
 It looks like another big double-cross for Alaska is brewing in Washington, The step child of the United States is once more being cut off from destiny.
 Plans for gigantic hydro electric power develop ment near Skagway, and the creation of mammoth light metals industry there, apparently being sacr fced while the federal government throws it's support to British Columbia.
 and Production Chief William Harrison have made secret deal with the Aluminium Corporation of America to finance aluminium plant at Ktmat, few miles southeast of Prince Rupert.
 This was the development which has been the sub ject of extensive engineering and preliminary planning in Southeastern Alaska the greatest prospect for industrial development of the Territory Feasibility of the project recognized in high places and has been given national publicity.
 The doube-cross now being matched in the nations capital seems to be based entirely politics rather than economics or defense
 It instance where Alaska must stand by helpless ly while great opportunity is lost Who is there of power and prestige in Washington who has sufficient n terest in Alaska to halt the scheme?
 This is another where two Senators from the States Of Alaska would tighten the nation the nefar scheme. American financial support is to be used to develop Canadian industry despite the fact it will force the nation to purchase aluminium from foreign country Our own resources will stand idle.
 It is the same sort of discrimination which has mark ed the 83 years of American ownership of Alaska Alas ka has chance than snoke-ring in wind storm without statehood
