For much of American history the defense of the northern frontier extended only as far as the 49th parallel. It was not until President Roosevelt's 1938 "we will not stand idly by" address at Kingston, Ontario, later codified in the Ogdensburg and Hyde Park Agreements of 1940 and 1941 respectively, that the defense of Canada came to be viewed as relevant to American national security.1 Initially, American planners addressed the problems of formulating a workable contingency war plan (ABC-22), but as the war progressed purely military matters became less important than the economic ones of coordinating North American defense production. After 1945 the situation was to be reversed, the problems associated with updating ABC-22 and revising preparedness measures coming to the forefront
