 This is one of the most prac- teal suggestions for overcoming the German air-submarine block ade that has been advanc- d in a long time. If the United States can help break this blockade, 1t should do so. There is ID point in all-out aid to Britain if the aid is going to the bottom of the At lantic.

Hinckl y. A-sistan. Secretary oe Commerce. This is mere than one third of the total number of schools participating in the pro- gram.
 At the present time there are 945 college and 2O3 non-collega training enters participating.
 We are pleased beyond mea- sure said MT Hinckley, that theS- schools have come to accept cur flight and ground courses on an academic basis. It definitely es tablish- s the CPTP as education al, which was our idea in orig mating it. This recognition gives us hope that the study of avia- tion will soon be introduced not only in our institutions of high CT learning but also in our high schools and grade schools
 Mir. Hincklcy said that a num- Der of the colleges are making the railing retroactivs in order that students who completed their work last year may have the advantage of the semester cle3its. He also said that many schools are constructing new buildings and ,nlarging their laboratory and ground facilities in order to handle the work bet ter and that in some states the educational departments are ex- tending the scholastic ruling to apply to all schools in the CPT coming within their jurisdiction.

Alaska Co., Defender Of The Americas
By It. OWEN G. McKEVITT Public Relations Officer,
 Alaska Defense Command

As a separate jurisdiction Al aska IS enc of the family of na- tions that comprise the Western Hemisphere. By that fact Al aska assumes all the duties and rights devolving on every soy ereign state from here to Cape Horn.
 At this time the world is in an unprecedented turmoil. Fascist nations both of Europe and Asia have ahgn-d themselves against the Western Hemisphere morally, politically, economically, and mili tarily. Danger lies both to the East and West. What is today happening to the British Empire indicates what might have hap pened to the Empire of the Unit ed States.
 But we may rest assured that our hemisphere in no par. shal ever be touched by European and Asiatic doctrines, and, that as surancc arises from the fact of our unity. That unity has b en inspired and fostered by America and its great President. Together they are striving night and day to maintain the strength of our position and they have a moral right b expect from the .oth r members of the Western family all the support they are capable of rendering.
 Remember, Alaskans = Am erica's d fense Is YOUR defense!

 In World War I, Admiral Sims, an American, induced the British to adopt the convoy system of protecting merchant vessels. He th=reby probably saved England from near-starvation.
 Now Americans are reported urging the British to abandon conveys, which are proving in adequate in this war. These U. s. advisers 10 Britain are said to favor a lane" syst m to replace conveys Under this plan the British Navy would assign 50 de stroyers to patrol the Great Cir e'e r3ae from Labrador to the Bri. .ish Isles.
 F5f.E dsssr7yers weuld be on duty 2f hours a day while l9 would be rcfueling. Each destroy CT would have a 50-mile str tch which fl would traverse 10 times every 24 hours. No merchant ship would ever be more than an hour away from destroyer.
 This system has obvious advan tages oyer the convoy plan. In conveys, the whole group must travel al the pace of the sloWest ship When attacked by surface raiders as much as 35 percent of ships in a convoy have been sunk. Also, conveys make better targets for air attacks carried out at great heights.
 The disadvantages of the "lane system is that it would require fast, well-armed destroyers, ra- ther than the armed merchant anen which the British are now using to escort conveys. These destroyers are needed in the North Sea, the Mediterranean and elsewhere.
 Establishment of a 'lane sys- tenn" across the North Atlantic raises in another form the ques- tion of more U. s. destroyers for Britain. It even suggests the de-
