British Consul-General
Will Get Hearty Welcome Here
Ncme will be host Saturday to the British Con
sul-General, Gordon Whitteridge, who is making his
first tour through the territory.
A hearty welcome is being extended to him as he
represents our nearest neighbor, Canada, which is
divided from Alaska by an invisible line through which
and over which Alaskans and Canadians share in a
friendship which has existed since Alaska became an
American “colony”. Canada and Alaska have many
mutual problems and each has much to learn from the
other as they develop their great mineral wealth and
water power potentials.
