Alaskan Air Bases Mean U. S. Safety
Seattle acknowledgement

Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
The growing realization of the need for adequate
modern defenses in Alaska, to insure the safety OF
the United States, is demonstrated by approval OF
The House of Representatives of President Roosevelts
recommendation for four million dollar army ali
base which probably Will be located in the vicinity
of Fairbanks.
This will be one of the chain of frontier army
air bases authorized years ago in the Wilcox
bill The first already has been established near
Fort Lewis and in the process of construction
The necessity for early action the Alaska army air
base has been repeatedly pointed out by The POST
mtegencer
Previously the administration has proposed, and
Congress has approved the establishment of two naval
air bases in Alaska.
At Sitka an old coaling station is providing tenn
porary facilities for the army patrol planes that wing
their way north from Sand Point. Permanent faci-
ties for enlarged operations provided under the
naval program.
Farther west, at Kodiak, larger naval plane base
will be built
Whether the United States is to make use of the
strategic possibilities of the Aleutian Islands which
extend many hundreds of miles to the westward from
Kodiak is matter for the future Naval authorities
and aircraft which would spell the greatest possible
measure of protection against any attack from the
Pacific.
The Kodiak and sitka bases primarily will be
naval flyers the eyes of the fleet to note any threat
of naval attack and thus enable navy to adj
vance for defensive action.
The army air base proposed for Fairbanks, in
contrast, will be designed as frontier post which
would serve to halt any attempted invasion of the
United States, either from Asia from Europe
1t took the trans-poar flights of Soviet aviators,
two years ago, to show the world how practicable
this route between the hemispheres may become
in these days of long distance flying.
1t will take time to build the Fairbanks base,
which will lie almost directly athwart the shortest
route between Europe and North America.
The foresight in providing for this base now
should be applaGded.
For aviation has made tremendous strides in re-
cent years.
1t was about $50 years ago that Benjamin Frank
lin witnessing balloon ascension in Paris used typ
ical Yankee strategy in answering the question: What
use is that t1ing?" IS - -
FranklinS answer was:
What is born baby?"
The baby Of aviation is not yet grown up But il
has been making tremendous progress towards
maturity.

WHITTIER FISHERIES?

The Department of the Interior has taken over
administration of Aaskas fisheries, the transfer
from the Department of Commerce being signal
lied Immediately by an announcement from Secretary
Ickes that Ketchkan is to have $4,000 fisheries
experiment station and that University of Michigan
professor is on his way to the Territory to make
study preliminary to recommending changes in the
fishing regulations
Fisheries, that all important department of AL
aska's economic resources is in fas-movng whirl-
pool at present The past month has brought many
changes and the next month may be expected to
bring as many more.
The transfer to Interior took place July under
President Roosevelts reorganization plan of May g.
taking the Bureau of Fisheries from the Department
of Commerce where it had reposed since 1884
The functions of the Bureau of Fisheries are of
significance manly to Alaska and its salmon herring
and other fisheries view of the broad authority of
the Secretary to regulate the times splaces and
methods of fishing the biological investigation of the
bureau in Alaska also being of great importance es-
pecialy in providing a basis for regulation. Aside
from this however the bureaus fish cultural activities
and conservation work in connection with dams and
water diversions on the Columbia River and else
where more than ever matter of prime i'm
portance to the Pacific Coast fisheries
just what bearing this transfer will have on the
bureaus various functions the Pacific Coast can
not well be predicted present though it may be per-
tnent recall that Secretary Ickes is we'll known
advocate of conservation of natural resources and
1t may be expected that in his regulatory duties he
will be guided largely by considerations of conserva-
ton. The declaration has been made that, in gen.
eral, change would be made in the 1899 Alaska fish
ing regulations issued earlier in the year; but this

lowed under the arrangement However, there
Is no reason apparent to anticipate any radical
changes for the balance of this season.
Another notable recent change is the retirement
from the bureau of L. G. Wingard, for the past six
years Alaska agent in general charge of the admins
trative service in the Territory. His place has been
taken by Seton Thompson, Assistant Chief of the
Alaska Division, who is in Juneau in charge of
the office Thompson is graduate of the College of
Fisheries of the University of Washington has served
for time the Bureaus Alaska staff and is
well acquainted with the Territorys fishing problems
The Federal administration of fishery matters has
been subject many uncertainties since last year.
