AR RAGES beyond both of the oceans bordering
the United States.
America hopes, but can not be certain, that
the fighting will remain thousands of miles
distant.
Should Mars threaten, however, whether from the direc
tion of the rising sun or the setting sun, experts are
confident that our Navy could protect our shores—protect
them if the Navy chanced to be in the right ocean.
With the Panama Canal open to passage of the fleet,
there never could be any doubt that it would be where
it might be needed when it might be needed.
BUT THE CANAL MUST BE KEPT OPEN.
The important question is whether it can be made im

You will want to read Frazier Hunt’s important article
on that question which will appear in THIS WEEK, The
Star’s vital and interesting Sunday magazine.
