Meanwhile the Canadian Pa- cific Railway is believed by spokesman in Montreal to be considering a trailer-truck haul of Alaska bound freight via the Alaska Highway from Edmonton to Dawson Creek. Local CNR sales manager W. J. McEachran said that on a ser- vice for service basis the CNR can still beat any competitor to the punch with respect to the Alaska service. SERVICE SATISFYING He said he was satisfied with the results of the aqua-train, and he believed that Alaska res- idents served by the service were also pleased.

The ship was built in Japan and registered under the Liberian flag, and the Jones Act forbids foreign ships from carrying US. goods between US. ports. The CNR operates its service in co-operation with a U.S. barge line. PROTECTS SHIPS The Jones Act was brought in years ago to protect U.S. flag carriers subsidized by the gov- ernment. It is expected the U.S. ship- builders union would object to bbringing the Liberian flag ship under U.S. registry for the Seat- tle-Alaska service. Observers say the only way the United States could estab- lish railship service would be to build their own train ship, But, it was noted, this would likely involve direct subsidies from the U.S. government.
