DEFENSE

(Continued from Page one)

and helpless, and defenseless peo- pie, we would be unwise indeed to think that there is no threat to our peace in the Pacific.
 Only the Beginning
 The defense works now authorized for Alaska are only a fraction of what they should be, and believe they are only a fraction of what they will be within the next five years. Surely Congress will not be so remiss in its duty as to fail ts provide adequate defense for AL aska, not only for the Territory It. self but because the defenses of Alaska defend even more strongly the western coast of the United States.
 The President and the War De- partment are now asking that sum in excess of $12,OO0,0 900 be grant, ed to establish an air base near Anchorage. That with the others now being constructed will make at least fair beginning; but at the time this is written the appropria- ton bill is still in the House Com mittee on Appropriations and so no one can confidently guarantee the outcome.
 With many others who have far deeper and more intimate know ledge of military strategy than I possess, I am insisting that some- where near Kodiak or in the Aleu- tians, perhaps at Dutch Harbor, we should have a duplication in strength of the Pearl Harbor base. Of course, that means the expen- allure of vast sums of money. but money will be of no account to us if our defenses are insufficient. It is an evasion to say that we are unable to afford 1t. The only thing that we are unable to afford Is in. adequate defense.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-03-31

vet within less than 20 years every treaty so made has been so often deliberately broken and cynically abandoned that they are even more worthless than the traditional scraps of paper of which we heard so much in the last World War.
 We know now that we must face the world in arms and 1t Is folly to believe that any nation as a nation has any friends who can be de- pended upon to stick through thick and thin. We must be prepared to defend ourselves, not in the year 2O0O or in 1850 or in 194l. but in this year of grace ls4O.
 Unless we are stupid beyond be- lief. we must realize that armies, and arms, and ornaments cannot be provided overnight. Months are required to equip even division of troops and put it into the field. We must be ready at all times.
 Arming For Peace
 People may say, Against whom are we arming?" That question in itself shows a startling lack of com- prehension of what is blazened be- fore our eyes daily. The answer is that we are arming for peace, be- cause it seems almost infallibly cer- tain if we are at all times ready to protect ourselves and our own, no one will attack us. But if at any time it Is certain that we are weak and not able to defend our selves, we will suffer the same fate which has overtaken Austria, Poland and Czechoslovakia, and which, even today, despite one of the most val iant defenses in the history of hu- man kind may overtake one of the most heroic people in the world, the Films.
 Of course, all the money which we spend on arms, armaments and the training of soldiers is an econo- mic waste. Were it not for the great exigency brought upon us by no act of our own, it would be an in- sane and inexcusable waste. But we are now faced with two grave al-

 in Alaska have been so long delayed The reason is not far to seek. It lies in our character as people.
 Americans "TOO Civilized"
 Traditionally and from the very beginning we have always shut our eyes to the possibility that we might ever be engaged in war and have consistently and continuously re- fused to make any preparation. AS result when war came we just had to muddle through. We enter ed the World War deficient in ev- erything except manpower and al- most up to the last we had to bor- row most of the arms that our sol diers used In the 1920's We joined with other nations in making a lot of treat ties that were calculated to bring about universal peace. All of the nations having interests there agreed to maintain the in- tegrity of China and pledged them selves solemnly to that effect. We entered with others into the Wash ington treaty for the limitation of armaments and scrapped hundreds of thousands of tons of shipping while the others scrapped mostly blueprints. Later we led the way, with the highest and best of mo- tives, in entering into the Kellogg Pact, whereby the nations denoun- ced war as an instrument of na- tional policy. It was all admirable and sensible and civilized, as we believed, and so We continued to let our national defenses go to pot.
 Conditions Change
 Present conditions are so start lingly different that if our memor- ies were not good we would think all of these peaceful gestures were made at least a century ago, and

 Oceans Narrowed
 Every change will be rung upon the argument that the Atlantic and the Paacific Oceans are too wide to cross and that no enemy can come against us. We all wish that were true, but, unfortunately, such talk is utterly lacking in foundation of reason and of fact. We all will hope and trust and pray that no enemy will come against us. But there is nothing in the present condition of the world to indicate that we have any such assurance; and we must remember always that the continu- ous development of the airplane is daily narrowing those oceans until tomorrow they may be figuratively no wider than Cross Sound or Cha tham Straits.
 Moreover, if we are half as in- telligent as we claim to be, we will not forget that on the other side of the Pacific we are faced with two ruthless and warlike nations, bent upon conquest, and absolutely reckless of any civilized human val ues which may stand in the path of their lust for power. AS long as those two countries were opposed to each other the hazard to us was not so great; but now that they ap- pear to be joining forces to accom- plish their common aim of the con- quest and subjection of peaceable,

 BUSY MAKING ALASkA'S
 AIRWAY5 SAFER TO FLY

Busy making the airways of Alaska safe for the planes of today and tomorrow, the Civil Aeronautics Authority is engaged in rapidly ex- banding program of organization and construction in the Territory.
 From CAA headquarters in An- chorage, Superintendent of Airways Marshall c. Hoppin and his staff are directing the work of establishing Alaska air navigation facilities, radio range and communicat tion stations and emergency landing fields.
 The present administration and construction personnel of Is men IS described as a nucleus" of the or ganization which is expected to grow into one of the most extensive and important in Alaska.
 Skeleton Airway
 The current appropriation for the CAA in Alaska authorizes the con- struction of a skeleton airway ex- tending from Ketchikan to Anchor age to Fairbanks to Nome.
 Directional radio aids are to be established at Ketchikan, Sitka, Ju- neau, Yakutat, Cordova, Anchorage, Fairbanks, Ruby and Nome.
 Intermediate type stations, equip ped for communication with aircraft and adjacent stations for the pur- pose of exchanging weather infor- nation, are to be located at Peters burg, Haines, Yakataga, Talkeetna and Summit.
 Intermediate landing fields will be constructed in the vicinity of Yakataga, Talkeetna, Summit, Tolo- vana and Koyuk.
 Present indications are that this original airway will be extended considerably in the next few years as additional appropriations become available.

URGES AGREEMENT ON AIR RAID DETECTIVES
Lloyd George Proposes Reciprocal Limitation Tdrses

LONDON.-The senseless duel OF
bombing of two rival capitals is still go
ing on with unmitigated savagery. as far
as London is concerned. If I am per-
mitted to speak my mind frankly on the
subject, do not believe either side is
achieving any serious military objective
by the devastation which is necessarily
wrought on both sides. when you have
such a huge aggregation of buildings OF
all kinds to operate on.
Both sides profess they aim only at
military detectives. Assuming complete
sincerity on both sides, it makes little
difference in the result. Under the in
dustrial system which prevails in all
countries, factories, docks, railways and
dwellings are so intermingled that if you
aim at one you are. especially in the
night, Just as likely to hit the other.
The lesson of the aerial attack is that
for every direct hit on an objective there
are scores of misses. It is these misses
that kill women and children. If it con-
tinues, there will be CHASTITY holocausts

tion-except to introduce an element Of
unbridled ferocity which was. on the
