POSTWAR NAVY
IN ALASKA
Stating that the navy was "fully
alive” to the strategic importance
of the Alaskan area,” Secretary
Forrestal recently assured Dele
gate Bartlett that the naval base
at Adak would not be abandoned.
The Secretary’s assurances were
9 given following Delegate Bart- \
lett’s expressed belief that the
maintenance of adequate naval
forces in Alaska during the peri- ■
od ahead is imperative.
Congressional action in appro
priating funds will be the ruling
factor in determining the scale
upon which all naval bases of the
United States can be maintained.
The appropriation bill for the
Navy Department is now being
considered in Congress, but until
it is passed by both houses, it is
not possible to determine what
funds will be available for Alaska
bases, but it is understood sub
stantial sums have been requested
by the navy.

upon Secretary of State Byrnes
that a new international treaty be
concluded to assure presevation
and increase in the size of the seal
herd on the Pribilof Islands.
In 1940, the Japanese abrogated
the Fur Seal Convention conclud
ed by the United States, Great
Britain, Russia and Japan in 1911
for the preservation and protec
tion of fur seals, and since 1942
sealing operations in the Pribilof
have been carried on through the
