ALASKA'S PLACE IN
 THE DEFENSE PROGRAM

Pointing out that General Craig. commander of the Alaskan De- partment, recently stated that Alaska would be difficult to de- fend unless there is strong civil ian economy to back up the army, Delegate Bartlett this week urged on the floor of the House, that the defense program for Alaska should not be jeopardized by false mo- tions of economy"
 Now as perhaps never before" Delegate Bartlett emphasized, "it is essential for us to build in Alas ka a mighty fortress capable of Withstanding any onslaught which might be made against it. Only in that manner, can be we reasonably sure that the United States can be protected from the horrors of war as it will be in the future.
 Last week the gentleman from Florida CMr. Sikes) warned this nation that we must not neglect Alaska from the military stand point. His compelling analysis of the situation ought to be read by every American. Alaska can either be the region furnishing protection for our nation or it can be the re- zion from which an enemy can reach us. The choice is ours. With respect to Alaska we simply can not be put in the position of saving few dollars where that saving would result in peril to this coun- try"
 Enumerating the fact that there are seven cities in the six Soviet Republics in Asia with populations over 100000 each with this area having in 1914 an estimated popu- lation of 20,OOO,OOO and an estim ated projection in 1894 of 45,OOO,- 900 people, Delegate Bartlett stat ed, We cannot afford to sit idly by and see our northern outpost remaining undeveloped, either mil itarily of economically"
