Alaska — Co
Defender Of
The Americas
By Lt. OWEN G. McKEVITT
Public Relations Officer,
Alaska Defense Command
As a separate jurisdiction Al
aska is one 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 sov-.
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 align d themselves against
the Western Hemisphere morally,
politically, economicaly. and mili
tanly. Danger lies both to the
East and West. What is today
happening to the British Empire
indicates what might have hap
pen d to the Empire of the Unit
ed States.
But we may rest assured that
cur hemisphere in no pan shall
ever be touched by European and
Asiatic doctrines, and, that as
surance ari.-es from the fact of
our unity. That unity has b en
inspired and fosteied by America
and its great President. Together
they are striving nig it and day
to maintain the strength of our'
position and they have a moral
right to expect from the othr
members of the Western family
all the support they are capable
of rendering.
Remember, Alaskans — Am
erica's d fense is YOUR defen.el
“Lane" Through
The Nazi
Blockade
(Philadelphia Record)
In World War I, Admiral Sim=,
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
convoys, which are proving in
adequate in this war. These U. S
advisers to Britain are said to
favor a “lane” syst m to replace
convoys. Under this plan the
British Navy would assign 50 de
stroyers to patrol the Great Cir
c r nt'e from Labrador to the
Bri'ish Isles.
1 i: y dr-.r yers would be on
duty 24 hours a day while 1 '
would be refueling. Each destroy
cr would have a 50-mile str tch
which it would traverse 10 times
every 21 hours. No merchant
ship would ever be more than
an hour away from a destroyer.
This system has obvious advan
tages over th: convoy plan. In
convoys, the whole group must:
travel at the pace of the slowest'
ship. When attack d by surface |
raiders as much as 35 percent of
-ships in a convoy have been)
sunk. Also, convoys mak-.: 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
men which the British are now
using to escort convoys. These
destroyers are needed in the j
North Sea, the Mediterranean
and elsewhere.
Establishment of a “lane sys
tem” across the North Atlantic!
raises in another form the ques
tion of more U. S. destroyers for ,
Britain. It even suggests the de
sirability of the U. S. Navy pro
rearing the western half of thi
lane.
This is one of the most prac
rical suggestions for overeominj
the German air-submarine blocl
ade that has been advanc d in ;
long time. If the United State
can help break this blockade, i
should do so. There is no point it
all-out aid to Britain if the ait
is going to the bottom of the At
iar.tic.
Figures releasd show tha
nearly 5.000.000 tons of shipping
have ben sunk by the Nazis sinct
the war began.
Britain cannot stand that pact
indefinitely. The rate of los:
must be cut before th end o
1942 if Britain is to fight off the
Nazi threat to the world.
