OH, DIANA!
Canada Groups ask
Corridors Through
Alaska Panhandle
' VANCOUVER, B.C., l»—A reso
lution urging that “corridors” be
cut through the Alaska panhandle
to aillow Canada access to seaports
from northern British Columbia
and Yukon Territory has been
passed by the British Columbia
and Yukon Chamber of Mining.
Copies of the resolution have
been forwarded to Prime Minister
St. Laurent, Premier Bennett of
British Columbia and Governor
Frank Heintzleman of Alaska.
“Establishment of these Cana
dian ports and subsequent devel
opment of hydroelectric, mineral
and other resources will bring
prosperity to all citizens of Can
ada and the United States living
in those northern areas,” the reso
lution said.
The corridors should “in no way
interfere with the rights of people
in Alaska or with existing towns,
ports and other important settle
ments.”
The group said that because the
area was “on the threshold of an
era of tremendous industrial ex
pansion and development,” it was
essential that the U.S. and Canada
“work together in closest coopera
tion.”
An early meeting of officials of
the three territories involved to
discuss the proposal was urged. #
