New Pan Am Route
Asked President
By State C. of C.

FAIRBANKS LR = President
Eisenhower Monday was asked by
the Alaska State Chamber of Com
merce to grant Pan American
World Always new East Coast
Orient route via Alaska.
In a wire to the President, the
State Chamber requested ap-
proval of Pan Americas request
on grounds it would decrease the
outflow of gold from the u. S.,
enhance Americas defense pos
ture, bolster investments in Alas
ka and give an American airline
equal treatment with foreign car
riers.
The wire, signed by c. w. Sned-
den, President of the State Cham
Der, pointed out that utilization of
foreign flag carriers on East
Coast Orient runs results in a
tremendous loss to the United
States in tourist travel expendi-
lures.
"Pan American will bring to
the United States increasing num-
bers of foreign tourists when the
convenience of through flights is
available, thus reversing the gold
outflow" the wire stated.
Approval of the new Pan Amer
lean route would result in sub
e+ay,+io1 I,anaf;+c +o A1oclza'e aoop
omy, the state chamber pointed
out.
"NeW state tax revenue on fuel
alone will amount to in excess of
$1,200,000 annually" the wire
stated"
Substantial investment in Alas
ka's future could be expected on
the part of Pan American and
domestic carriers in the event the
route is granted, the wire stressed.
This would further private invest
ment in the state.
The state chamber also empha-
sized that the nations defense
posture would be enhanced by
having an American airline fly
ing the short route to the Orient.
The wire to the President added
that domestic corporations which
pay taxes to support the govern
ment should receive equal treat
ment with foreign flag lines in al
location of air routes.
Granting the new route would
increase revenues to the U. S.
Treasury but would not increase
competition with domestic car
riers, the chamber stated.
"The position of Alaska Air
lines, Wien Alaska Airlines and
Pacific Northern Airlines would
be enhanced because of increased
tourist traffic, both domestic and
foreign, resulting from direct
flights on an American flag line"
