SUNDAY, JANUARY 21, 1923. MACLAFFERTY SAYS CONGRESS 16 TO APPROVE CALIF. NAVAL BAS “Publication of Rodman Report Has Revived Keer Interest in Alameda Site, Especially Around San Francisco Bay, Says Golden State Representative. WASHINGTON, Jan. that congress soon will approv: 20.—(United Press)—Confidence e the Alameda naval base pro ject was expressed tonight by Representative MacLafferty California, in an exclusive statement to the United Press. “The publication of the Rodman report has revived keen interest in California, and especially around San Francisco bay, in the statement that the develop- ment of the Alameda site is impera- tive and should be given priority over all continental naval projects,” sald MacLafferty. ‘‘It should be under- stood that the Rodman board was ap- pointed by the secretary of the nav: to make an Investigation which would! assist the navy department in adopt- ing a policy in harmony with the re- duction of armament agreement en- _,teted into between several powers. | “It has been a matter of no little Pf. mystery to the people of the San Francisco bay district that for six years the navy department's efforts to have a suitable base for the Pacific fleet on San Francisco bay have been frustrated. It is remembered that in 1916 a board known as the Helm board’ on which two eminent .en- gineers, Admirals ‘Rousseau and Zappe, were members, made an exten- sive inquiry into many sites on the Pacific coast for the purpose of’ locating suitable base for the fleet. This board unanimously recommend- ed San Francisco bay as such a base and the development of a portion of |" the Alameda shore as one of the units of the base, Following this, the so-called Parks- McKean board made a supplementary investigation and concurred in the find- ing of the Helm board. That was in 1919. In 1920 a special joint commit- tee of congress was created which made another investigation of Pacific’ coast localities and in conclusion unanimously recommended substan- tially the same developemnt at Ala- meda as did the two previous boards. “So that the record shows that three distinct investigating commis. sion arrive at the same unanimous conclusion, and now comes the Rod- man report, not only concurring in the former findings, but emphasizing them by giving priority over all con- fidential naval construction and as- werting in plain, unmistakable lan- guage that the military need of immediate development is ‘Imperative.’ “It is therefore, after full consider- ation of the foregoing facts that the Bay Cities Naval Affairs committee, representing 139 organizations about San Francisco bay and the San Fran- cisco Chamber of Commerce, together with the C. C. Thomas post of the American Legion have combined to urge by all reasonable and legit mate methcds that the cngress of the United States enact such legislation as will enable the navy ‘lepartment to accept this gift of 5,840 acres from Alameda in order to carry out its . program. “The largest naval unit of the world is now the United States fleet in the Pacific, comprising something ove 208 vessels.
