rROTECTION FOR THE FRONT
DOOR OF AMERICA
The recent outrages on Ameri
can lives and property in China
by the Japanese, much as they
were professed to have been ac
cidents, naturally bring to the
front again Alaska's strategic
position on the Pacific rim in re
lation to that aggressor nation.
It has been pointed out that it is
possible for Japanese planes to
span the Pacific and give their
military a foothold in America’s
“front door” in the space of a
few hours. Although highly im
probable, the last bit of Japanese
savagery makes us wonder how
our own Uncle Sam feels about
the same thing.
It seems, however, he has got
ten the jump on us in that re
spect, for apparently without
much to-do and with a minimum
of fuss, the navy department has
a naval airbase for purposes of
protection well established in Al
aska. Brief news items have
mentioned seaplanes hopping to
Sitka but the real significance of
the flights was recently brought
out in two editorials in Seattle
papers.
“Wings Over the Pacific” in
the Seattle P.-I. says:
* * *
“The navy department's deci
sion to establish year round head
quarters at Sitka, Alaska, is wel
come evidence of vigorously broad
ened national defense policies.
“Seattle has previously noted,
with interest, the dispatch of
squadrons of naval planes from
Sand Point, to Sitka.
The importance of the Wash
ington pronouncement is two
fold.
“It indicates that our govern
ment is determined to give this
nation the protection it deserves,
despite objections from any oth
er country.
“It indicates that the naval
command recognizes the necess
ity of giving its personnel year
around training in North Pacific
waters, instead of confining its
visits to the period of sunny sum
mer weather.
"Japan has no right to feel that
our protection of our own terri
tory is a hostile gesture.
“The United States many years
ago gave up its right to fortify
the Aleutians to gain Japan’s ad
herence to naval limitations.
“But the treaty covering this
bargain has expired. Japan did
not want to renew it. And no
reason now exists why the Unit
ed States should not proceed to
a sensible protection of its shores.
"The Post-Intelligencer, on num
erous occasions, has pointed out
the necessity for peace time op
erations by navy ships and navy
planes, in the North Pacific on a
year-around basis.
‘The fleet maneuvers in the
North Pacific, now scheduled for
next February, will provide train
ing for warship personnel, under
the conditions that would be
most likely to be met if a hostile
fleet should ever seek to attack
these shores.
“The training of naval flyers at
Sitka is an important and grati
fying extension of these defense
plans.
“It should be followed by pro
vision for a permanent naval
base, probably in the Aleutians,
and the early establishment of an
army air base in the interior of
Alaska.

Clegg Mentioned
GOP Candidate
Alaska Delegate
JUNEAU, Jan. 19, (/P)—As a
Republican candidate for Dele
gate to Congress, Judge Cecil H.
Clegg of Fairbanks is prominent
ly mentioned by political leaders
in Juneau following the Territor
ial convention of the Republican
party last week-end in the capi
tal city.
There still is evident some fric
tion between the faction which is
headed by A1 White, former U.S.
marshal in the First Division,
and which is in control of the
machinery of the party, and the
anti-White faction, but neverthe
less both factions seem united for
Judge Clegg as the party's con
gressional candidate.
Holds Record as Judge
Judge Clegg was United States
district Court Judge in both the
Fourth and Third Divisions, and
has the record for longer judicial
service than any other jurist in
Alaska’s history. He was prom
inent in the practice of law at
Nome in the Second Division be
fore moving to Interior Alaska.
He has a wide acquaintance in
Juneau and other parts of the
First Division. He is well known
throughout Alaska.
Would Unite Under Clegg
In the opinion of republican
leaders who attended the recent
convention in Juneau, the repub
lican party could be united un
der the congressional candidacy
of Judge Clegg. If he should file
for delegate, his nomination in
the republican primary is deem
ed a certainty. His opponent in
the election, of course, would be
Delegate Anthony J. Dimond.who
has announced he will be a can
didate for re-election subject to
the Democratic primary.
Judge's Statement
Judge Clegg, when informed
of the sentiment of Republican
leaders, said he had no intention
of becoming a candidate for dele
gate to congress.

Plaee Tomorrow
Evening Jan. 22.
The Home Arts Club, a group
of 25 alert young women of Nome,
has recognized the fact that the
art of home-making sometimes
leads on outside the home in or
der to ensure the welfare and
happiness of the family group.
Seeing the need of a public play
ground for the children and young
people of the community, these
women have initiated a program
which should result in a well
planned, adequately equipped,
and carefully supervised Play
Field.
It is too much to expect that
the project will be completed im
mediately, but the campaign for,
funds opens with a benefit Jam
boree at the high school auditor
ium tomorrow night. With the
idea of providing an out-door
base-ball diamond, tennis courts,'
and safe equipment in a safe
place where the young people
may play through the long sum-j
mrr days, the club is laying plans;
for a series of benefits so that at
least part of the equipment may!
be ordered in time to come in on!
the first boats. With every one
helping a Play Field is assured. 1
