Our Alaskan Frontier
lPhiladelphia Recordl

tfnldOelpnld fteCOIuJ
 One of the most pressing reasons for the develop ment of Alaska as proposed by Secretary of the In terior Ickes was almost overlooked in the first dis cussions of his plan-the necessities of the national defense
 Military authorities regard Alaska as one Of our weakest points and have been making efforts to correct this situation Only recently the Congress authorized establishment of two Alaskan naval bases, at Sitka and at Kodiak.
 Both the Navy Department and the War Depart ment have favored the development of facilities in Alaska and have said they would cooperate with other departments of the Government to that end They prises among them arfieds airways aids to naviga- ton roads prevention of alien monopoes of resources protection of fishing rights and development of mn- eral resources.
 A glance at the map shows clearly why United States military experts interested in Alaska it is the nearest part of continent to Asia The vest ern end of the Aleutian Islands lover which the first settlers of this contnen is only 660 miles from
 the great Japanese naval base Horomushiro It is 1000 miles from the Philippines to Japan and 3400 miles from Honolulu to Yokohama. The mainland of Alaska is only 54 miles from Siberia
 When Secretary Ickes first proposed that the Gov emment act to accomplish the opening of Alaska, through carefully supervised privately financed public serious consideration because of the obvious economic benefits it would appear certain to yield both in AL aska and in the United States. Properly financed and scientifically balanced Alaskan settlement is no less important as measure of self-protecton.
