SAYS DITCH HARBOR IS
PLACE FOR NAVAL BASE
A writer in the last Century Maga
zine says that Dutch Harbor is the
best place in Alaska for a naval base.
He believes it could be made a veri
table Gibraltar and would be in the
proper position for a war with an
Oriental power, while it would also
serve as a base for the protection of
the Matnnuska coal fields and the cop
per mines of Copper river.
