Senator Lundeen is from Minnesota, far removed from possible coastal attacks. He was elected by the armer-Labor Party, which has pacifist inclinations. He is certainly no militarist or jingo. For, al- | though he served as a private in the Spanish-American War, that experience gave him such a distaste for war he voted against our entry into the World War and |against conscription for foreign service. Yet, upon his return from a four-week trip to | Alaska the Minnesota senator declares: ! “As we have built our defenses in the Hawaiian |Islands, so we must build them in Alaska. It is not ary to carry armament to China, to Europe, to rica. We can use all of it right on American soil !"" The reservation of a large area near Fairbanks, ias the first step looking toward development of an army air base, and the announcement that the United MORE OMINOQUS sStates fleet will carry on the most far-reaching tac- tical exercises in the North Pacific this winter indi- cate, clearly enough, that the administration and the !military experts recognize the vital role of Alaska in any plane for adequate protection of this country.
