Brown, Beverley Brown, Jos A. Boyle, Coker, Dale can 1ex David go as pioneers.” Heads for Alaska | After leaving Hawaii, the Presi- dent said “we headed for the Aleutians and four days later, ar- riving at Adak, one of the most westerly islands of the group, there found intense activity and what F might be called a nearly completed H bass. It was from here Alder part of the expeditions in K capture of Attu and Kisks arted. Adak, two years ago and practically uninhabit- nd and with other Aleutian seemed relatively unim- |portant in the plans for security of r continent.

By the time the great ex- pedition to recapture Kiska got there, the Japanese decided dis- cretion was the better part of valor and they decided retirement and retreat was better than hari kari They abandoned the Aleutians. Safe from Invasion The climate of Adak is not the most inviting in the world but I want to say a word of appreciation to the thousands of officers and men of all services who built this base and other ba: in the ex- treme Northwest in such shoit time, to a point where the people of the Pacific Coast and British and Columbia and Alaska can feel cer- tain we are safe against Japanese invasion on large scale. Visits Kodiak “Delayed by fog and rain, we had to give up putting into Dutch Harbor but did stop at Kodiake Here also, three services have com- pleted excellent although a smaller base. This was the first little town I had seen in Alaskan waters and the ‘first trees made me think of the coasts of Maine and Newfoundland. We were told that a number of officers and men in this and other ports were consid- ering settling in Alaska after the war and I hope this is so becaus the development of Alaska has o1 been scratched. It is still a couu- try of pioneers and on part of its mineral resources have been explored. There is of course an abundance of fish, game and timber and together with the greot possibilities of agriculture. “I could not help remembering the climate and crops and other resources are not essentially differ- ent from northern Europe, Norway, Sweden and Finland and the peo- ples of these countries, in spite of the cold winter and darkness have brought their civilization to-a high| prosperous level, | “Alaska is a land of small pop-| ulation but which I am convinced | has great opportunities for those! willing to work hard and build up| |all kinds of new things and new follows: ¢ Balhiser, H.
