DEFENDING OUR HEMISPHERE s that a Nazi victory in Europe would ; increase America’s problem of defending Western One itself aspect of that problem has been brought to light in by defending the Herhisphere the last few months’in the exposure of Fifth Column Nazi activities conducted among the German resi- dents in several Sonth American countries. If there is any Nazi move directed against this hemisphere, most military and diplomatic observers believe that it would be directed against one or several Central or South American republics first of all. It is un- likely that the first overt moves would be directed against the United States itself less be directed against one or more of our more dis- tant haps try to avoid any early action that would tend to unite They serety They would doubt- and weaker neighbor: The Nazis would per- and aro the American republics, would seek rather to turn least fir: take calculated (o divide rather than unite opinion in this They would seek first of all, 50 to speak, to drive us “from Munich to Munich.” Two chief possibilities exist regarding any initial moves that might be made. One would be to effect actual at weak undefended points in South America and set up air bases that would be in a position, for example, to launch an attack against the Panama Canal. The other would be to overthrow the obvious , and to actions and give interpretations hemisphere. landings or an existing Government or Governments by Fifth Column movements and set up Governments under Nazi domination. In the event of the latter possi- bility the Nazis or their local puppets would be cer- tain to accuse us, if we took any action, of “inter- fering in the internal affairs” of the nation con- cerned ‘These possibilities indicate the nature of the diplomatic as well as the military problem that con- It is necessary that every move we make should be taken with the fullest consultation and cooperation practicable with the 20 other American republics who joined with us in the Panama.

" The Daily Alaska Empire { % 602—Phones—374 dispatches credited to it or not other- | ginal print job, showing crafts- such as the one now being held will be with the urgency that the cdse may require.” This is in a sense an affirmation of a common Monroe Doctrine on the part of all the American republics; but it will be seen to contain an important “if” subject to interpretation by each nation, and it raises the question also whether a consultative meet- |ing of the kind envisaged could act with the requi- | site speed in an emergency. Whenever conditions | practically permit, however, every effort should be | made for consultation at each step, not only because any action we may take with regard to the West | Indies might be used as an excuse by Japan for action of a very different kind in the East Indies. { From the military standpoint our main strategic problem is clear: we must prevent any hostile non- American power from establishing any naval or air bases in this hemisphere that could be used against |us. In effect, this means that we shall have to es- tablish more such bases ourselves, and get the con- sent of other nations in this hemisphere to use their strategic airports and harbors in case of necessity. Our military problems of this nature, in connection | with such points as Greenland, Newfoundland, Ber- muda, the West Indies, the Panama Canal Zone, South America, Hawaii and Alaska, require clear thinking and prompt action. But though the problem of outlying air and naval bases is important, what is much more impor- tant is strength at home, strength at the center. If the status quo in Europe is overthrown, it might be | necessary for us, for example, to establish a naval and air base at Bermuda; but it would probably not do much good to have, say, a few score planes at unless had a thousand more planes | Bermuda lu*ndy to go to Bermuda if necessary on very short we The same condition would apply to outlying base. We cannot afford to lose sight | finally, of hew crucially important our stake is in | the outcome of the war in Europe. If the democra- | cies win, our problem of hemisphere defense becomes |a simple one. If the ends in a stalemate or |only a partial German victory, our problem is more | serious, If the Nazis complete victory, our problem becomes extremely grave. Even if we put aside such possibilities as a Berlin-Tokyo Axis, or the use against us of a surrendered British fleet, a Hitler master of the shipbuilding facilities of all | Europe could heavily outbuild us unless our economy | suddenly able to take an entirely different | orientation; and in any should be forced |to devote a huge part of our resources of men and | materials to non-productive work.

At the end of the third short paragraph in a speech three newspaper columns long Congressman Halleck told the delegates that he wanted to place in nomination Wendell Lewis Will It seems quite appropriate that the non- professional Willkie campaign should have this non- professional innovation. The sponsors for the two other dates stuck to the ancient procedure.
