Suggestions and Criticisms Invited
[Highway Roule
To Alaska
Is Selected
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31—Rep.
Warren G Magnuson announced
that the International highway
Commission of which he is chair
man. had recommended to the
British Columbia commission the
selection of the route from
Prince George to the Atlin Lake
section to Alaska.
He said this route is known as
the middle route and will tap
Interior Alaska and the Panhan
dle and is preferable to the east
ern route going farther north
through Dawson.
Ahis action was taken, Magnu
son said at a joint meeting of the
two commissions at Ottawa last
week. He said the Canadian com
mission had no preference on ei
ther of the three routes propos
ed and agreed to submit to its
government the recommendation
of the American commission.
The chairman said the coast
route was discarded because of
bad snow conditions.
Magnuson said reports will be
made to Congress and the next
step for this government is to
notify Canada it is ready to pro
ceed and work out financial de
tails.
If the highway is approved he
said the road would cost approxi
mately $25,000,000.
NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS
FOR BELLIGERENTS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 — A
new postal regulation seeking to
reduce friction over mail going
to belligerent countries was re
leased in the postal bulletin for
the information of postmasters.
The regulation was issued under
the neutrality law.
It provides that any person
sending an item of material val
ue in the mails addressed lo bel
ligerent countries must make an
affiidavit swearing the title to the
article had been changed to the
person to whom it is addressed.
The regulation brought the pos
tal mailing of all articles for
belligerent countries into line
with the neutrality practice gov
erning non-postal shipments.
Mails addressed to belligerent
countries in Europe are lined at
| neutral ports and sent overland
! to their destination.

jlistment service in the country
but no American in foreign arm-*
I ed service will lose his citizen

ment.
The question of enlistment was
raised at a press conference by
reporters.

$10,000,000 for Alaska Business
I I
IN JUST ONE AVERAGE YEAR the Canned Salmon Industry brings
over $10,000,000 to Alaska. This is money paid directly for local labor,
lumber, wire, cannery supplies, taxes. It is money which benefits not
only Alaskan fishery workers and workers in other industries, but also
Alaska’s professional people and merchants, whom it reaches in the form
of trade for services and goods. Thanks to the Salmon Industry, Alaska
prospers.
