COOD ARGUMENT FOR OPENING
ALASKA COAL
The Alaska rnarke* still depends
largely on Briti.-h. Columbia coal.
That the supply may be cut off any
time -s indicated in the following
■ litorial in the VaacoUTer News-Ad
vortis^r: I
No shortage in the 'coal supply
cf this province should lx' heard of
on tlaj cuast unkss some great
mine i.isr.<ter h;is made production
impossiule. We 'alk about find-in?
ma-rke's fur our mineral products
and that may •• e a problem with
the 1 mited population. But there
never should be a shortage of coal
for thy >>ome market. The mine
owners o'-ve it to 'ho public to have
ahvavs a sufficient reserve supply
for any emergency, and coal should
:ic» :>e exported, while the reserve
is n:-dequate. The coal of the pro
vince cr:giually b"lo>ngs to the pub
lic. Those who ob'ain the right to
mine coal enter into an implied con
tract taa1 the pujlic owners should
never to left without coal. The
surplus. and only the surplus,
■shoul 1 be awulable fo: export. That
imiilitd contract should be oon
s'rutd liberally on the side of the
people. It oall^ for a reserve suf
licient to insure delivery and a
•constant supply fhoug!i production
sljouli be stopped for a consider
able time through labor troubles.
"U'e understanc! that th's 'reserve,
or part of it, may be in the-hands
of dealers. But it is ttoe business
of the producers to see that -it is
somewhere within reach. '
