MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALASKA'S PART IN ADEQUATE DEFENSE
Coining to the support of Alaska Delegate Anthony
J. Dimond. who in a speech delivered in the House of
Representatives, urged that immediate provision be
made for an Army air base in the Territory, the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer in a recent editorial said:
“Mr. Dimond makes a very pertinent point that an,
adequately defended Alaska will serve as our best pro
tection against enemy attack upon continental United
States but that an undefended Alaska represents invita
tion to an enemy to seize it and make it a base for oper
ations against the United States. He reminds us that
it is only 747 miles, a few hours flying time, from Ket
chikan, Alaska, to Seattle.
“Mr. Dimond as Territorial Delegate has a voice in
Congress but no vote. In urging prompt establishment
of an Army air base Dimond's voice was raised not for
Alaska alone but for the United States.
‘Those who have the votes should use them not
merely for protection of Alaska but for the protection
of the nation."
It is a pertinent point, indeed. An air base in Alas
ka is not an air base for Alaska, but an integral part of
the Pacific Coast defense program. If adequate defense
is to be established on the west coast, stations,both mil
itary and naval, must be built in the Territory, linking
with the States and particularly Pearl Harbor in Ha
waii. Defense of the Pacific cannot be adequate until
there is protection south from the Aleutians to the Ha
waiian Islands. That necessarily must be the first line
of defense on the Pacific. Once that line is pierced by
an enemy, the Pacific Coast from Alaska to San Diego
is in serious danger.
That means that at least an Army and a naval base
must be established in Alaska before we as a nation
can speak of adequate defense on the Pacific.—Juneau
Alaska Daily Empire.
GHOSTLY’ PHARAOH
Another ghostly Pharaoh has been making trouble
because inquisitive archeologists disturbed his bones.
Sir Alexander Seton of Edinburgh, Scotland, and his
household are breathing more freely because a bit of
bone is on its way back to the land of the pyramids.
Lady Seton, traveling in Egypt, found a little glass
case inclosing a “genuine bit of bone from a tomb in
Gizeh." She took the curio back to Scotland and the
ghost trailed her.
Since then there have been such goings-on! A spec
tral figure goes about nights scaring visitors at Sir Alex
ander's country seat. Servants refuse to stay on the
premises. Sudden illnesses of members of the family
and all sorts of bad luck are charged up to the mischiev
ous spook.
It is the best Egyptian relic story to come out of the
British Isles since the opening of the tomb of Tut-Ankh
Amen in 1932. Tut's ghost got blamed for causing the
death of several persons of note who were just onlook
ers when the tomb was violated. Of course some of the
deaths were delayed a dozen years or so. and various
diseases, including hardening of the arteries, were con
tributing causes.
But anyway, Sir Alexander Seton is taking no more
