Alaska Is Americas First Line Of Defense

Continued From Page One to Alaska in great numbers to re- ceive delivery of American planes to be flown across Siberia to the fighting front.
 Russia Builds Air Bases
 In this delivery system, Russia reportedly built up a great line of airports across Siberia to make the North American continent easily accessible by air.
 Howell was accompanied on the Alaskan mission by seven other members of the House commerce committee-Reps. Leonard Hall R.-N. YD, Hugh Scott R.-UaD, Carson R.-Ohio), Chapman O. KyD, Hairless D.-ArizD and Rog- CTS O.-Fla0.
 The trip was decided upon after the Alaskan Delegate, E. l.. Bart lett, told the House earlier this year that "false notions of econo- my should not, and indeed, must not, be allowed to stand in the way of the Alaska defense program"
 "Now as perhaps never before it is essential for us to build in Alaska a mighty fortress capable of withstanding any onslaught which might be made against it, Bartlett said.
 Alaska can either be the region furnishing protection for our na- ton, or it can be the region from which an enemy can reach us. The choice is ours"
