recently reported hls observations and
conclusions to the Department of tbe

“My dominant thought in going to
Alaska,” he told the United Precs.
“was to consider methods for solving
the problem of the great volcanic arc
and for ascertaining what It means In
the economy of nature.
"1 believe that a permanent station
should be established at Unalasku for
the study of volcaulc action, earth­

In the courre of hls reconnaissance

conditions of thé Aleutian region. He
visited Nushugak, chief center of the
Alaska canning industry and head
quarters for the salmon fisheries fleet.
He was impressed by tbe need for
