 After beginning in light vein regarding his Alaska trip, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York swung into a serious discussion Of world affairs when he spokes to about 175 persons at the Juneau Chamber of Commerce this noon at the Baranof Hotel.
 He declared he was overwhelmed" by many facts he learned about the Territory with it's limitless undevel- oped resources during the past 84 years.
 You still have only 140,000 per- sons here and half of them by grace of the defense effort. Alaska is l2 times bigger than my home State of New York, but we have 1.00o times as many people," he said.
 He said he regarded Alaska as the great, open, undeveioped frontier of the United States. Australia also, is an undevelOped frontier but I hope you don't get their brand of socialism-I wish you luck" he said seriously.
 Alaska Defense
 Dewey spoke of Alaska defense as primary interest but said that it is being defended on fighting fronts in Korea. the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaya.
 He pointed out our proximity to Russia at the Boring Strait just as one of the Japanese islands is only three miles from a Russian island on which the Soviet is build ing up fighting divisions"
 World War II has never stop ped and the third world war is under way" he said.. full scale wars are going on in the countries mentioned and three more are 2 ssss.s ls.lilss .sc free 1 dom from the atom bomb and no opportunity to escape Onr 0bli- I gations in this world as long as
 Communism occupies the Kremlin.
 "The Russians are doing yer. we'll" he said. by peaceful means il bringing more lands and peoples in I to their orbit and we must vigorousl. resist them.

 On the lighter side the New Yerl governor reminded his audienc that he had a standing invitation from Alaskas governor for the pas nine years to visit the Territor. and he was glad to have accepted ] it.
