Joint Defense In The Northwest
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
Plans for the joint defense of l
Canada and the United States
have been discussed in general
terms by Premier MaeKenzie
King and President Roosevelt
and next will be considered in1
detail by the technical experts
at the armed services of the two
nations.
These discussions are of tre
mendous importance to this sec
tion.
The United States is spending
many millions in establishing
Army and Navy air bases in Al
aska.
The effectiveness of these de
fenses, however, would be mat- j
erially lessened if the British Col
umbia coast were to have no pro
tection other than that represent j
ed by coast defenses in the vic
inity of Victoria and Vancouver.
The existence of an unfortified
border, the boast of the two na-!
tions for more than a century,
would represent an active danger
to either if the other should be
invaded.
Ibe Canadian government has
certain destroyers on order for
coastal defenses, but Canada can
nol possibly afford to support a'
navy adequate for the protection
of its Pacific shoreline under mod
ern conditions. But if the United
States and Canada supplement
each other’s efforts, both should
be amply guarded.
The question of air defense is
of particular interest to both na
tions.
he necessity for having some in
tsrmediate landing fields be
tween the continental United
States and the new air bases in
Alaska has been recognized by
all defense authorities. The ac
tion now being taken to estabish
such a stepping-stone at Metlak
atla is the first definite move in
this direction.
A much more thoroughgoing
find effective program will be
possible under the new plans for
joint defense action.
Both the residents of our own
Pacific Northwest and our neigh
bors across the border will have
reason to feel safer.
Certificate of Dissolution
I, Frank A. Boyle, Auditor of
the Territory of Alaska, do here
by certify that there has been
filed in my office, on this the 17th
day of August, 1940, the applica

of the ALASKA LIVESTOCK
AND PACKING COMPANY, a
corporation organized under the
laws of the Territory of Alaska,
together with proof of notice of
stockholders’ meeting held Aug
ust 1, 1940, resolution adopted
by the Board of Directors on
June 17, 1940, providing for dis
solution of said corporation,
proof of publication of notice of
stockholders’ meeting of August
1, 1940 and adoption of said
resolution, proof of mailing to all
stockholders of notice of said
meeting at which said resolu
tion was to be considered, certi
fied copy of Minutes of meeting
cf stockholders held August 1,
1940, and written consent of two
thirds of stockholders to dissolu
tion of corporation.
Wherefore, in view of the
above premises, I do further certi

CHAMP AND CHALLENGER
(Philadelphia Record)
Nearly every pugilist, after a
few minor victories, usually chal
lenges the Champ. It’s a tradition
from the flyweight division on up.
Mr. Willkie challenges Mr. Ro
osevelt to engage him in a series
of verbal bouts all over the coun
try in the next fe wmonths.
For the sake of the country, we
hope he either ignores the chal
lenge or says “no.”
The President has a big fight
on his hands right now. Probably
the biggest fight that any Presi
dent since Lincoln, has been forc
ed to wage. It is to arm America
to the teeth in the face of the
most powerful military threat the
world has ever seen.
To take time out from such im
portant job in order to accomo
date a candidate who has little on
his mind except running for of
fice would be unthinkable.
We’re surprised the challenger
didn’t understand that the busi
ness of being a President these
days is a deadly serious proposi
tion—not a sporting event.
