marks were made at an informal
luncheon in the enlisted men’s
mess, where he made a noon
inspection tour.
He said he considered some
parts of the United States over
populated and predicted that
many soldiers and sailors will
seek new homes in Alaska after
the war. The territory’s great
size and known resources, he
added, invited settlers. The
president did Dot discuss specific
war plans of this or any other
theater nor did he comment on
the national political campaign.
Everyone here ate lunch with
the chief executive, except
the navy base commandant
and army post commander.
Enlisted soldiers, sailors, marines
and a proportionate number of
negroes mixed throughout the
long mess hall.
