(/P) Sir Hugh Denison, Australian commissioner to the United States, declared here today that it "is a pity that the United States does not take more interest in the development of Alaska." "I was shocked at the condition to which Skagway has been allowed to fall—houses are empty and port developments disappearing," Sir Hugh declared. He has just returned from a vacation trip to Alaska. "The United States has not spent big section of British Columbia and the Yukon district, I think the solution of the difficulty would be obtained by the internationalizing of the narrow strip from Skagway to White Pass, as was done with Flume in the Adriatic, which was similarly situated in regards to Jugo-Slavia. "This would lead to the port being utilized without cost to the United States. Failing to do this, a lease could be granted to the government of British Columbia or to'sorae public company, conditionally on their agreeing to maintain the improvements of the port and spend certain amounts in opening up the lines of communication. After a stay here, Sir Hugh will visit Portland and San Francisco to see conditions in relation to commerce between these ports and Australia and to determine whether the appointment of a trade commissioner for the west coast would be advisable.
