Excerpt from The Alaska Frontier

This monograph was prepared with the object of stating briefly but emphatically the title of the United States to a continuous, unbroken lisiere or strip of territory on the north west American con tinental Shore between Mount Saint Elias and fifty four degrees forty minutes north latitude. In Au gust, 1898, the Anglo - American Joint High Commis sion assembled at Quebec, and soon after Canada formally made claim to a large slice of the Terri tory of Alaska. These demands put forth by Can ada to the territory of a neighboring and friendly power are a serious thing, and would imply that the Canadian Government possesses substantial facts upon which to base its claims. But up to the pres ent time the Canadians have not advanced in sup port of their contentions anything but a nebulous maze of alleged facts. Their whole argument is founded upon a quibble. If the Canadian Govern ment has any serious and tangible proofs with which to support its claims, it has not yet made them public.
