NRE Authorize) as second class mail hy the Post Office Nepartment, Ottawa. | Northern Defence Road A GRISAT deal is heard these days about defence projects in the field of transnortation, In fact, they are even building a seaway deep into the heart of the ¢ontinent in the name of defence; although we doubt that Toronto and other inland cities are likely to he-attacked by an enemy's ocean fleets, If they were, it would serve the enemy right if he got stuck in this bie bottle neck, - However, there is one defence project which stands out as an A-E priority, and which is not even being discussed hy the peaple who should now al- ready be building it. That is a northern highway route, from Winnipee to [dmonton und on. to Prinee Rupert. a The men who built the railway from Jasper to Prince George, to ‘Terrace and Prince’ Rupert, and Who visualised that latter city as one of the world’s major ports, were not eazy. They were merely premature and dreaming too far ahead, Today, by all standards, Prince Rupert is one of the key locations in defence planning on the Pa- cific; and it will be, as it was during the years of the war against Japan, one of our most strategic ports, . A highway westward to Edmonton and on to the interior of British Columbia and to the coast at Prince Rupert should have Trans-Canada High- way standards, It should be part and parcel of the Yellowhead route, which ultimately will have to be built anyway tu supplement that part of the Trans- Canada Highway that now goes via Calgary and Banff on to Vancouver, Canada’s development is taking plaee in the north, not along the wheat fields of the southern prairies, Canada’s defence will also have to be played out in years: and decades to come in the northern reaches of the land not in the approaches to Milwaukee, Grand Forks and Bonners Ferry. Plans for the Yelloyvhead route should no more | he set aside and neglected than plans for irrigation and river development in Saskatchewan, These two schemes, in either peace or war, are likely to have a much more profoundly beneficial influence on the economy and social structure.of this country than. the boondogeling real estate deals up and down the | shores of Lake Erie and Lake: Ontario, . . _. —Financial Times.
