! Doesn’t it seen rather logical reasoning
• (to us laymen, of course) to assume that a
! real danger f^ces us and if we are to avoid
I the fate that has pome to millions of the po
pulations of Europe, war must be prepared suf
ficiently to discourage such an invasion or
else to successfully repol.it, should it come
to pass. It seems safe to say, howver, that
up to the present time, there is absolutely
nothing to prevent such an invasion if our
enemies decide that such a move would benefit
them. Once such a movement were started and
Alaska occupied., as it could be, for there is
nothing (to stop ot, what would be the cost in
| lives, property ~nd money to rid ourselves of
• a strong military or naval.force actually in
possession of this vast territory, the last
frontier of continental United States.
But, our danger HAS BEE1T recognized by
the powers that be in V/a chington; funds have
been provided, to adequately construct our de
fense system, all of which should tend towar
ds an elimination of the jitters that were
caused by the threat we are facing.
There is one element in this Vast plan
that seems not to have been adequately cal
culated and that is, the TIME element.
Are we not, citizens of the U.S. and
residents of Alaska, contributors towards the !
cost of the defence preparations now under
way, by virtue of the taxes we pay r.nd the
increased taxes we must hereafter pay for the
balance of our lives,'entitled to ask a few
|pertinent questions as to the progress that is
being made to defend our shores and whether or
not the TIKE element is being adequately con
. sidercu? The answer seems to us to be dec id-'
1 edly YES. So on the assumption that.we have
this right, let us proceed;
| If the emergency is as great as we are
Iled to beliebe by press and radio reports, and
jwe verily believe it is not being exaggerated
from these sources, why then is so much time
being/Consumed on the Kodiak Krval Base in
c.-oing merely preparatory and temporary work, •
•hy, if the emergency is pressing, is this
program being stretched out -for thirty months
