 While the issue of strengthening the United States navy is before Congress the Pacific Northwest should not overlook the testimony before the House Naval Affairs Committee of Admiral William D. Leahy, chief Of naval operations
 Admiral Leahy said Alaska virtually unpro- tected and admitted the navy never had naneuvered in Alaskan waters due to lack of base there The admiral urged a strengthening of Alaska defenses
 The immediate construction of additional naval vessels has been decided upon by the navy command and by the Administration, as the most urgent step toward protection of the Pacific Coast
 But Admiral Leahys testimony shows that the navy is fully cognizant of Alaskas vulnerability.
 It is not too much to hope that when the project for the expansion of United States fleet has been approved by Congress the establishment of naval base in Alaska will be brought forward so that the enlarged fleet will be fully effective
 It is project that congressional delegations from the Pacific Northwest and from Alaska should keer constantly in the forefront that full support will be available when the navy advances to undertake this important angle of the national defense problem
