CLEMENT
R.
ATTLEE
may
not
be
one
of
the
most
powerful
or
forceful
of
political
leaders
but
he
is
one
of
the
most
sincere
and
hardworking.
In
less
difficult
times
this
mild-mannered
and
self-effacing
Prime
Minister
might
have
been
most
successful.
No
matter
what
his
political
and
economic
policies
may
be,
he
is
a
figure
to
be
respected
and
esteemed.
Simply
because
he
is
not
a
strong
man
does
not
detract
from
that
esteem.
There
are
contemporary
figures
in
the
British
political
scene
whose
strength
and
dominance
is
almost
a
failing.
Mr.
Attlee,
we
hear,
is
placing
his
political
future
willingly
and
without
reservation
in
the
hands
of
his
own
party,
If
they
decide
he
is
not
.
suitable
to
continue
as
Prime
Minister,
he
shall
,
gladly
step
down,
It
is
reported.
'
One
thing
they
can
never
say
about
Attlee,
-
I
that
he
put
self
by
love
of
power
or
office
ahead
of
his
principles5
and
his
country's
weal.
If
Mr.
Attlee
passes
from
the
political
scene,
we
will
.
be
able
to
sincerely
say
that
he
was
a
"real
English
gentleman"
and
there
can
be
no
greater
tribute
I
than
that
to
any
Briton.

committee
of
the
U.S.
senate
would
be
a
good
time
to
begin
agitation
for
a
western
highway
to
Alaska,
says
Ketchikan
Alaska
Chronicle.
The
Canadian
government
is
conducting
aerial
surveys
this
summer
of
routes
leading
north
from
the
Hazelton
area,
probably
with
support
of
U.S.
government
officials.
The
U.S.
army
is
worried
about
its
transportation
into
the
north
country.
And
certainly,
with
Europe
a
mass
of
ruins'
and
Asia
torn
by
war,
America
can
use
-a
new
tourist
route
into
an
American
wonderland.
'
'
The
precedent
is
established
by
a
senate
committee's
endorsement
of
the
Inter-American
highway.
That
road,
started
a
decade
or
more
ago
as
a
Pan-American
road,
with
the
public
roads
administration
lending
engineers
to
Latin
AmeVican
countries,
has
never
been
completed.
The
U.S.
rmy
took
it
over
during
the
war,
used
75
tons
of
precious
rubber
and
480,000
gallons
of
gasoline,
spent
$3G,-000,000
building
347
miles
of
road,
then
threw
up
their
hands.
It
had
hoped
to
cornplete
the
.roajcj
to
Panama
as
a
defence
measure
for
$14,500,000.
In
spite
of
this
failure,
the
senate
war
investigating
committee
thinks
the
road
should
be
completed
as
a
peacetime
project,
for
defence
reasons
and
to
develop
tourist
and
local
trade.
The
same
factors
that
make
the
Inter-American
road
valuable
would
govern
in
the
case
of
a
western
highway
tq
Alaska,
Making
it
more
important,
however,
is
the
fact
that
it
would
be
closer
to
home,
would
be
developing
the
American
frontier
and
would
serve
as
a
defensive
supply
line
on
a
much
more
important
f
roht.

RESENTMENT
against
the
falsehoods
being
circulated
about
the
Skeena
River
Highway
Is
growing.
The
opinions
given
by
motorists
are
strong
and
direct
and
the
residents
in
the
interior
have
nothing
but
condemnation
for
such
a
state
of
affairs.
Visitors
from
outside
British
Columbia
and
from
other
parts
of
the
province
are
mystified
why
such
lying
and
cooked-up
yarns
are
spread.
Anyway,
there
is
an
increasing
demand
that
any
information
source
should
have
authoritative
knowledge
or
else
not
presume
to
say
anything.

POLES
in
Prince
Rupert
are
as
valuable
I
as
any
in
Canada.
In
fact,
many
regard
the
collection
as
the
largest
and
finest
in
the
coun
try.
But
this,
apparently,
has
no
meaning
to
the
scores
who
deface
thehi
by
the
carving
of
initials.
The
practice
has
caused
a
lot
of
indignation,
and
there
seems
no
way
of
putting
a
stop
to
it.
It
has
been
suggested
that
the
placing
of
guard

r
around
each
pole
might
help
in
preventing
or
re

the
nuisance.

about
the
presence
of
profane
drunks
lying
on
the
grass
near
the
totem
pole
lookout
on
the
Canadian
National
reserve.
This,
of
course,
is
when
the
day
is
warm
and
sunny
and
tourists
have
gathered
to
enjoy
the
vista
of
mountains,
harbor
and

Intoxication
is
bad
enough
but
it's
a
thousand
times
worse
when
tourists'
and
others
are
obliged,
unless
they
leave
at
once,
to
hear
loud-mouthed
cilrses
and
obscenity.
This,
it
is
said,
has
been
going
on
repeatedly
and
cannot
but
give
a
sad
impression
to
strangers.
