at Sitka, Alaska, as the first step
in tying Alaska and the Aleutian

that the Navy was surveying the
Aleutian Islands ''to see what uses
can be made Of them"
Naval officers said the new base,
on Japonsky Island in Sitka har.

and later garrisoned by 10 officers
and men.
From six to IL or 10 planes win
be operated from Sitka, devoting
the winter to practice and survey
flights. Weather and fog data will
be developed to provide for the
use Of the Aleutians as an all-year
air base.
Admiral Mitsamasa Yonai, Min
lister Of the Navy, told the Japa-
