NEW NAVAL DISTRICT
LOOMS FOR ALASKA
Further evidence that the
Navy Department is plann
ing extensions in Alaska, in
eluding at least one naval
air base, is found in the re
port of W. B. Kirk, well
known Juneau resident &
former Nomeite, just re
turning from the States,
that the 17th naval district
may be created in the Ter
ritory of Alaska, It is the
theory of naval men to
whom Mr. Kirk talked that
with its vast unprotected
coast line Alaska is the log
ical place for another naval
district. Hawaii is now the
headquarters of the 16th
district and there the Navy
has established one of its
most elaborate bases on the
Pacific, and it is a natural
tie up with Alaskan waters
for protection of the West
coa9t.
Distant as the Alaska sta
tions are from Bremerton,
headquarters of the 13th
naval district and closest
point to the Territory, it
would appear to follow that
if the naval air base pro
gram goes through, bring
ing a large number of men
and equipment into north
ern waters, that the Depart
ment would find it exped
ient to create a district in
.the north.
As has been pointed out
innumerable times,and con
firmed on various occasions
by naval experts, Alaska is
the key to the whole pro
gram of defense on the Pa
cific. From bases in Alas
kan waters, the Navy could
keep a watchful eye on all
the trans-Pacific water rou
tes. The fact, too, that the
Department is spending
more and more on radio sta
tions and the minor bases it
already has in the north
gives further weight to the
belief that Alaska is about
to be linked with Hawaii in
the general naval scheme
of Pacific defense.—Ex.
CALAMITOUS WAR
There is no doubt that in
the minds of many men &
women the view prevails
that war must come.
Certainly there was nev
er a time when anxiety &
dread of approaching cala
mity was more widespread.
It doesn’t follow that the
supreme calamity will fol
low. After 1870 it was
held that a harsh peace
would be overthrown with
in a few years by force of
arms. Forty-four years of
alarms and excursions fol
lowed before war broke.
This time the danger is
just as clear, and the actual
experience of it is fresh &
vivid in the minds of the
rulers.
