Stock, of the most vital in the annual convention business man of Anchorage, was chairman Resolutions Committee. The report of the Resolutions Committee was presented and the measures set fortn became the subject of closest analysis. Among the resolutions submitted was that dealing with National Defense in and for Alaska. | This measure was prefaced by reference to the late General William Mitchell whose name has been honored in death far more than his word was heeded during the lifetime of that far-seeing military leader. Basing Resolution Number 21 on the oft’ quoted statement of the General that “whoever controls Alaska controls the world,” the Legion declared that not only the defenses of Alaska tragically inade- quate to the needs of today, but that the possibility of attack through the Alaska route is not remote, and | therefore resolved that: * . the land, sea, and air defenses of Alaska be strengthened at a greatly ac-, celerated rate.” i That the national policy urged by these men of The Legion is one of which millions of citizens in the Continental United States of America join must be crystal clear if the press of America is a true mirror 8, in Washington come within this category. | Thomas Casey Greene, Republican Third, we must remember that our Federal Bu- I state Chd“m"“ reau of Investigation still is an efficient law enforcing organization; that its ability to gather information far surpass that of any Congressional committee.
