NEW AMERICAN NAVAL
POLICY IN PACIFIC
Pearl Harbour, Oct. 11,
A new United States Navy-policy in the Pacific, calling for a strong Aleutian base-near Siberia and the extension of its outpost 3,000 miles westward to Guam, has been announced at a press conference at Pearl Harbour
The policy was made public: by Admiral John H. Towers, commander of the Pacific Fleet; who conferred recently with President Truman and high. Navy officials in Washington.
* Admiral Towers declared that Guam (8,318 miles west of Pearl Harbour) would be turn- ed into an outpost as strategi- cally Important as Pearl Har- bour, long the symbol of the might of the American Navy in the Pacific.
The Admiral said the new Pacific policy would be to con- centrate permanent naval in stallations in Alaska, the Aleu- tians, Hawaii and the Marianas, including Guam

Because of the mobility and range of surface and air fleets, it is necessary that we extend Our Pacific outpost beyond Pearl Harbour.”.
Admiral Towers said he talked with Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Chief of Naval Opera- tions, while in Washington, and that Admiral Nimitz had agreed with his views ori the new alignment of naval power in the Pacific.
Base's Site Admiral Towers declined to say where the new Aleutian base would be built, but pre- -dicted that it would be some- where near the centre of the Aleutian Peninsula, jutting westward from the Alaskan mainland.
This would put it somewhere east-of-the-Navy's-big-base-at- Dutch Harbour. Associated Press,
