U. N. Might Take

stallations will be permanently 1
manned.
And it said Alaska’s power po- j
tentialities “may well be the do-j
cisive factor in the world struggle !
for supremacy in production of
light metals.”
Among many proposed ventures j
was the importation of bauxite
from Pacific islands, such as Pa
lau. which are closer to Alaska
than to the Continental United
States, to permit production of
aluminum in the Territory.
The report emphasized the need j
for joint investigation by the |
United Slates and Canada of pos- ,
sible power sites, and internation
al agreements to permit full de
velopment of rivers common to
both Canada and Alaska, it added:
“Alaska’s resources represent
wealth beyond man's comprehen
sion — potential wealth greater
than our national debt.
“Already $3,000,000,000 has;
been taken out ol' the Territory by 1
haphazard development under the j
absentee landlord system.
“Alaska’s billion board feet of i
timber that could be cut in perpe
tuity, the millions of acres of
crops that could be harvested, and 1
the 50,000,000,000 kilowatt-hours
of energy that could be produced
by river control systems represent
a loss to America of more than
$1,000,000,000 every year.”
Twining, in a letter attached to
the report, said the proposed *
economic development of Alaska
“will result in a more adequate '
defense for the Territory at a
lesser cost in men, money and ma
terials.”
“One of the most crit i c a 1
needs,” he said, “is the provision
ol additional housing and com
munity facilities . . .
“Improvement in means of
transportation and reduction in
transportation costs is also vitally
necessary. Improvement in the in
ternal highway net in the central
Alaskan area is desirable from i
both the civil and the purely mili- ;
ary standpoint.
“The provision of an alternate
land line o', communication to the
United States is 4 vital matter.
“The blockade of Alaska occa
sioned by shipping strikes merely
hints at the disaster which would
strike Alaska in the event the,
lines of communications were in
terrupted during the period of an
! emergency.”
