The aviation committee has looked at sites in the south adjacent to Ban Diego. -.but the-chamber will urge that cllmatio conditions are not everything. For purposes of aviation education the exigencies , of actual warfare require flying in. all weathers and especially is the Columbia river the logical place, the chamber will explain, because this entrance from ' the sea goes Into th heart of the richest country of the coast.-which would naturally be the goal of an invading army.

With a command of the sea off the two forts . at . the ri-er mouth, th scouting aviators could give notice of attack, the commission - will s told, and , possibly prevent invasion, tiati Diego, while offering ideal flying con ditions, would be an unlikely point of attack because of the unproductive country behind It, where an invading army could find no sustenance. The chamber believes that Senator Chamberlain as chairman of the mill tary affairs committee will be able to do much toward locating the field in Oregon.
