TALKS ABOUT ALASKA
(Continued tram Page 1.)
ed. If we can lessen the danger
of war by simply giving our people
access to a vast reservoir of wealth,
any unnecessary delay would dam
age our reputation as level-headed
business men.
"Three facts stare ub in the face:
"(1) In the absence of railway
communication Alaska depends for
its defense entirely on the navy.
"(2) We could send only a part
o" our naval force to defend it,
while the enemy would be free to
attack with his whole force.
"(3) If our fleet were defeated
the south coast of Alaska would af
ford to the enemy the best possible
base for attacking our Pacific states.
"An editorial in the Washington
Post of July 16 describes the situ
ation so clearly that I can do no bet
ter than to quote it:
" 'If our Pacific coast is practi
cally without naval protection, us
affirmed by Rear Admiral Van Rey
pen, a war with Japan would involve
the loss of Alaska. With unlimited
resources in coal and timber, the
south coast of Alaska would pres
ent an ideal base for an attack on
our Pacific coast, being much near
er to Asia and to Puget Sound
than any base that an enemy might
capture on the Hawaiian Islands.
This fact lends interest to a com
munication in the Vancouver News
Advertiser, printed elsewhere in this
issue, to the effect that, as a geo
graphic necessity, Canada is the pro
tector of the United States. Says
our Canadian contemporary:
" 'At the mere though of another
power in the possession of Alaska,
every Canadian feels his flesh creep,
his hair stand on end. We simply
could not tolerate it and should be
compelled by the most obvious re
quirements of our own safety to join
our forces to those of the United
States in an attempt to drive away
the invaders.'
" 'Unfortunately, so long as the
British navy is tied up in the North
Sea, and no railway communication
exists between the United States and
Alaska, even the combined land for
ces of the United States and Canada
could not prevent the temporary oc
cupation of Alaska by a superior
naval power. From this point of
view, the announcement of the
early construction of a railway thru
northern British Columbia to Daw
son and thence to the Alaska boun
dary becomes interesting.
" 'Premier Richard McBride, of
British Columbia expects soon to
visit Ottawa and Washington to dis
cuss the proposed extension of the
Grand Trunk railway. It may be
taken for granted that in his con
ferences with our statesmen the
strategic value of the proposed rail
way will not be overlooked. Branch
lines would, of course, be built to
connect the main line with the har
bors of Alaska, to their immense
commercial benefit. When the fa
cilities exist for concentrating the
combined American and Canadian
forces on any threatened point with
in a few days, no naval force, how
over superior, will care to attack
auy part of the Pacific coast, eith
er of the United States or of Can
ada. Senator Powers, of the Can
adian parliament, who some weeks
ago was disturbed by the vision of
20,000 Japanese invading British
Columbia, will thus regain his com
posure.
" 'The projected Canadian line
would stimulate railway building
through Alaska. When the safety
of our entire Pacific coast can be as
sured by building the two lines need*
ed to connect Cordova and Seward,
the two leading ports of southern Al
aska, with the interior, with each
other, and with the Dawson line,
the necessary legislation ought to
