Danger of an enemy attack on the
soft side of Arizona via the Gull
of California soon will be elinlinat-
ed through construction of five air
fields and naval bases along the
west coast of Mexico on the tip OF
Lower California.
Funds for the construction
will be supplied by the U. S.
under provisions of the Lease
Lend Act. 1t is possible the
contracts will be let to American
firms which will employ mostly
Mexican labor.
U. S. Sen. Ernest w. Mcfarland
has information on the projects, de-
tails of which are unavailable at
this time. Sen. Sheridan Downey,
Calf, told Arizona News that he
was advised of the plan just before
leaving Washington on his journey
to the west with Sen. Mcfarland ia
investigate the farm labor shortage
problem.
Tentative plans are said to can
for facilities for navy use at Mazat-
Ian, Sinaloa a base of operations
for submarines in the Bay Of La
Paz, near the tip of Baja, Califor-
mia; air fields at Guaymas and two
other locations in Sonora and Sina-
loa, one presumably to be near
Rocky Point.
Strategically situated at five
points, it is believed these bases
would make the Gulf Of Lower
California immune from possible
attack by any enemy.
At its widest point the gulf is
only about Is miles. Land based
planes could fly the short distance
from these new fields to attack any
enemy invasion all along the TOO
mile journey from the Pacific Ocean
to the northern end of the Gulf of
California.
With these installations it is the
consensus of military men that no
