Minister
of
Watli
il
Defense
Gives
His
Unaersihding
Of
Situation
The
understanding
of
Hon.
Brooke
Claxton,
Minister
of
National
Defense
at
Ottawa,
is
that
the
Haines
cut-olf
road
from
.the
port
of
Haines
through
the
northern
end
of
-the
AlaskaPan
handle
and
Canadian
territory
to
the
Alaskan
"Highway,
"was
never
completed
and
It
is
not
intended
that
it
should
be
closed
in
the
ordinary
sense."
Conflicting
reports
as
t5
the
status
and
permissible
use
of
the
Haines
Cut-cfl
came
to
a
head
recently
when
General
D.
Elsenhower,
United
States
Army
chief
of
staff,
in
a
published
statement,
criticized
Canada's
proposed
closing
of
the
Haines'
road,
holding
that
the
artery
was
vital
to
the
west
coast
defense
set-up.
H.
G.
Archibald,
after
receiving
a
wire
from
Prince
Rupert,
on
the
subject,
asked
the
Minister
of
National
Defense
11
he
could
give
any
Information.
The
minister
answered:
"I
have
not
seen
the
letter
said
to
hive
been
forwarded
by
General
Eisenhower,
and,
there,
I
cannot
say
what
he
said.
'However,
any
reference
to
the
proposed
closing
of
the
Haines
road
would
not
bulte-thscorrec

My
understanding

that
the
road
was
never
completed
and
It
Is
not
intended
that
it
should
be
closed
in
the
ordin
¬
ary
sense."
There
has
been
"a
question
as
to
whether
civilian
'traffic
would
be
allowed
this
year
over
ths
Haines
Cut-off.
