In an interview regarding the ArnyS new SKY IlgnIl
it. Governor John w. Troy, today made the folowin
tement:
General Douglas MacArthur's recent an
nouncement of the War Departments plan to es-
tablish new unit of the Army Air Force consist
ing of 1000 or more bombing, pursuit and attack
planes, in five wings, based the Atlantic and
Pacific Coast and in the Middle West is encOur-
aging.
"The War Department has evidently accepted
the idea that preparedness is the most certain
of peace, and when they carry this
unit into effect there should be substantial part
of the Army Air Force based in Alaska.
"In case the United States should be engaged
in war on the Pacific Ocean, Alaska would neces-
sarily occupy strategic place in the conflict. Not
only would it be subject to attack, but it occu-
pies position that would give Army and Navy
air forces vantage points to command the Pacific
Ocean, and prevent landing of troops at any
Pacific Coast point Air forces based in Alaska
would also prevent foreign power from establish
ing bases to operate from in Alaska against Am
ercan naval ships and the ports and cities of the
Pacific Coast.
Further, there is no better area in the United
States in which to train air pilots and give all
around experience to air forces than in this Ter
ritory with its wide range of climatic conditions
Not only should Alaska have large air force,
but also system of rotation which would prevail
in that all air forces and personnel would
have experience in Alaska.
"The data and information gained also would
be of immense value to commercial flying, which
is essential to the development of the Territory.
'What is said in regard to U. S. Army Air
Forces applies with equal greater importance
to the Navy forces"

Mussolini, smart salesman as well
as a dynamic dictator, has become
formidable foe of France in its pet
industry-American tourist trade.
Carrying the war to our shores, he
is bombarding Yankees with attractive
and seductive travel literature. In
word, and picture, pamphlets reveal
the beauties offered the tourist. and
prominently displayed are reduced
rates on railroads within Italy. Fares
are decreased as much as 10 per cent
for larger parties, and even the lone
traveller is recognized in the scaled re-
ductionS.
In adjoining columns of the book
lets are bits of information indicating
the extent to which the state has been
regimented for the convenience Of for
eigners. Hotel tips, one learns, have
been abolished and fixed charge es-
tablished to do away with the nuisance
of finding the proper coin to reward
a service; hotel rates have been set by
law, so that sudden crowds will not
find a costly premium placed upon
rooms.
II Duce, literally, has climbed the
highest peak of the Alps to broadcast
to the world the scenic wonders, the
past glories and the modern tempo of
Italy. When he undertook the climb,
he entered upon one of the most
lucrative industries in the modern
world.
He had only to look across the bor-
der to France to realize how large
was the American purse, how Ameri-
cans insist on exploring the countries
that fire their imagination. and how
frequently they return when the coun-
try is to their liking.
France, notably Paris, whetted the
curiosity of American travellers scores
of years ago, charmed them and held
them irresistibly with its atmosphere,
art and sophistication. Mussolini
knew Italy possesses a rare grandeur
and distinctive loveliness that Ameri-
cans appreciate, and set about the
task of seeing that they were informed.

Strange to say, MuSsolini did not
find in go-getter America the highest
development in this type of industry.
But many of his sagacious neighbors
had built at least the nucleus of far
flung government controlled chain OF
offices to facilitate travel for foreign
ers, to supply instantly and compre-
hensively information the tourist re-
quires. Today these government offices
encircle the globe. The United States

alone among the great countries is not
represented.
Italy has now established state
controlled tourist agencies in nine
countries. There are two in the
United States, one in New York and
one in Chicago. Free literature is
available for those interested In
Italy.
Perhaps the most important step
in Italy's plan was to coordinate the
railroads, which were blanketed under
direct control. The Emit, or Italian
State Tourist Department, was
formed, and 1t Is under this bureau
that the tourist Offices are main
tanned.
One of the most recent exploits of
II Duce in convincing Americans of
the delights Of Italy's Fairgrounds
was the launching of the already
famous liner Rex. Travellers by the
thousands have been borne over the
sea to Italy in this, one Of the worlds
great ships. And. looking upon the
prime mover of this enterprise, they
can realize the extent to which Mus
solini is using his powers to put Italy
at the service of American travellers

is printed in several languages and

Tourist trade is a peculiar busi-
ness. 1t is one import which is put
