The status of Iceland and Green- | land present other problems. But the existence in the North Pacific area of Russian and Japanese fortified positions, far closer to portions of Alaska than are any of our own defenses, represents what is perhaps the most immediate threat to Amcrmnj territory. Remember that the preliminary occupation or Oslo was carried out entirely by air. Under present circumstances only the Navy would be available to | protect Alaska from any attempted occupation. On| such a mission units of the fleet might be thousands of miles distant from the nearest United States bases—and only, a few hundred miles away from Japanese and Russian aireraft and submarine bases. Geography and the Monroe doctrine protect the United States from embroilment in the European war, | so long as war is confined to Europe. The Navy is the first line of defense in the Pacific. But the power of surface craft or of air- craft varies inversely with distance from a base. In view of the increased efficiency of aircraft it |is unwise to charge the Navy with the entire burden of protecting Alaska. A portion of that burden must be taken over by combat aircraft. | That is the reason why the Army asked estab- Editorial Adviser, lishment of an airbase at Anchorage, in addition to anager, Harry wm-\lhe experimental base proposed for Fairbanks, the Axel Nielson; Bus-|latter to be devoted to testing air operations under Photography | the frigid conditions of the Interior.
