U. S.-Alaska Link
Not Likely Now
%
OTTAWA, (/P)—External min
ister Pearson indicated last week
there isn’t much chance that Can
ada and the United States at this
time will build a rail extension
that will allow trains to run from
British Columbia into Alaska.
He gave a prepared answer to a
question asked a few days ago by
Gordon Graydon (Progressive
Conservative) about reports that
the Americans have asked Canada
to open negotiations on the sub
ject.
Pearson said the U. S. Embassy
here has told external affairs
headquarters that the Americans
may want to have discussions
about it this month but said there
is no decision yet about how far!
the negotiations will go into the J
subject at this time. '
Last November he had told the
House that Canada had been ex-;
amining the question of the exten- i
sion of the rail line. At that time i
the government was impressed
with the high cost of the venture ■
as it was related to the potential:
traffic. !
1 “Liquor Causing
I Delay Of Alaskan
Statehood”
DENVER, (/P)—The head of the
Women’s Christian Temperance
Union says a report from the Alas
ka branch of the WCTU indicates
the liquor problem is contributing!
to the delay in granting statehood i
to the Territory.
Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin, the tern- j
perance union leader, also told
delegates to the organization’s an
nual convention that liquor is
ruining the health of the Eskimos;
in the northern area.
Alaska is one of our front lines
of defense against Russia, she
said, and the softness and disease
i
induced by liquor among the na
tives is inviting treacherous attack
from the enemy.
Muck of it stems, Mrs. Colvin
charged, from debauching of the
natives by troops and civilians
who she said plied them with hard
liquor during World War II.
This country has the world’s
largest oil reserves, approximate
ly 20,000,000,000 barrels.
GOP Will Use
Korean War As
Campaign Issue
CHICAGO, (/P)_ The Republi
can party’s chief weapons in the
Congressional campaign, leaders
appeared agreed, will be the Ko
rean issue and Truman adminis
tration “bungling.”
National party leaders at a two
day midwest GOP conference also
agreed that the communism issue
and the attack on the Brannan |
farm plan bill be secondary.
Guy G. Gabrielson, Republican,
national chairman, said yesterday
he is “very optimistic” about all
Republican Congressional con- i
tests. But he did not'predict thej
GOP will win control of either;
House. He estimated a net gain of!
five instead of the required seven
Senate seats and 25 to 30 House
seats, short of the 47 the GOP
needs to outvote Democrats.
He said the Republicans can
win the Nov. 7 election on the Ko
rean war issue even if the war|
ends in a United Nations victory j
before then.
“The people are still sore about j
how we ever got into war in the I
first place,” Gabrielson told news- j
men. 1
| Credit “Stop”
Orders Effective
WASHINGTON, (/p)—'The gov
ernment put “stop” orders into ef
fect today against over-easy credit
to consumers and over-eager buy
ing by businessmen.
Marking the first actual use of
the new home front control pow-|
ers, the orders had two aims: To
check inflation and to conserve
scarce and essential materials for
defense purposes.
The commerce department for
bid businessmen to accumulate
i
lumber, cement, steel, copper,1
aluminum, tin, rubber, nylon
yarn, certain chemicals and cer
tain other materials, beyond a
“practical minimum working in
ventory.”
Enforceable by penalties as stiff
as a year in prison and a $10,000
fine, the order applies not only to
the firm that buys but also to the
firm that delivers the goods.
The ban on over-easy install- j
ment credit was put into effect by
the federal reserve board, after a
10-day advance notice. Terms for
autos, household appliances, fur
niture, and home repairs were
tightened.
