Leningrad To Become Giant Soviet Naval, Air Base
FOREIGNERS WILL
BE TOLD TO
LEAVE CITY
Leningrad, second city of Soviet Russia, is being turned into a gigantic naval dockyard, ar- senal and base.
No foreigners will be allowed to remain in the city, where the "large and powerful navy, corresponding to Russia's might and interests," announced by Premier Molotov in the Soviet Parliament, is to be built. *
And in the Far East, where the Air Force and Navy are being maintained on a war-front footing, the coastline facing Japan is being strongly fortified; plano and submarine bases and a new military town are being built rapidly.
