Twenty-five years ago, when European war clouds first cast their threaten- | ing shadows toward the Western Hemisphere, this| section of the country had virtually no defenses, | aside from the already obsolescent coast artillery batteries and a few forts established in days of Indian troubles.

And the Sitka and Ko- | | diak bases for Navy patrol planes represent the first steps toward taking advantage of the wonderful| opportunities that Alaska offers for a slrenglhened defense. | It is probably true that more has been done in| strengthening national defenses in the Pacific North- | west than in any other section of the country. But it is also true that more needs to be done in this | region than anywhere else.
