In order to promote the highway, in 1933 <a href="/wiki/Slim_Williams" title="Slim Williams">Slim Williams</a> originally traveled the proposed route by dogsled. Since much of the route would pass through Canada, support from the Canadian government was crucial. However, the Canadian government perceived no value in putting up the required funds to build the road, since the only part of Canada that would benefit was not more than a few thousand people in Yukon. </p><p>In 1929, the British Columbia government proposed a highway to Alaska to encourage economic development and tourism. American President <a href="/wiki/Herbert_Hoover" title="Herbert Hoover">Herbert Hoover</a> appointed a board with American and three Canadian members to evaluate the idea. Its 1931 report supported the idea for economic reasons, but both American and Canadian members recognized that a highway would benefit the American military in Alaska. In 1933, the joint commission proposed the U.S. government contribute $2 million of the capital cost, with the $12 million balance borne by the Canadian and BC governments.<sup id="cite_ref-Prince_George_Citizen,_3_Oct_1998_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Prince_George_Citizen,_3_Oct_1998-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a> and the Canadian government's lack of support caused the project to not proceed. </p><p>When the United States approached Canada again in February 1936, the Canadian government refused to commit to spending money on a road connecting the United States. The Canadians also worried about the military implications, fearing that in a war between Japan and North America, the United States would use the road to prevent Canadian neutrality.
