TROY ADVOCATES AIR
AND NAVAL B ASES FOR
ALASK A-U S DEFENSES
(By The Associated Press')
SEATTLE, April 13 — With air and naval bases in
Alaska and Hawaii, no nation could ferry troops across the
Pacific Ocean as they did across the Atlantic during the
world war, Governor John W. Troy said, as he stopped over
here Friday enroute to Washington, D. C. from Alaska, to
confer with Secretary Ickes of the Department of the Inter
ior, and other officials regarding Alaska development.
“We are already protected in Hawaii, and an Alaskan
base could block off the North Pacific from any hostile fleet
of submarines. An airbase in Alaska is imperative to the
safety of the West Coast, and I am confident it will come.
We have an administrator in Washington, who is keenly
alive to the needs and possibilities of Alaska,” Governor
Troy stated.
He expressed approval of the government’s Matanuska
colonization project. “Our great need is population and
this will be giving it to us. Our agricultural needs are
many and this will bring about much development of agri
culture. Our mining is greatly stimulated by the inere^..n
of gold. Things look good for Alaska this year,” he said.
