During the course of the debate, Senator Royal S. Copeland of New. York questioned the wisdom of leaving Unalaska without fortifica. tion, when there was a way suffi- eient in size to accommodate an en-
tire navy.
Senator David A. Reed of Pen- nsylvania replied that such case would be construed as constituting a menace to Japan, and also that it was unnecessary as a defence for the mainland. He said that the London treaty would not change the fortifications on the Pacific in
any respect.
