USE OF AIR BASES.
AREAS IN LATIN-AMERICA.
UNITED STATES ARRANGEMENT.
NEW YORK. November 7
The “New York Times” says that the United States has completed arrangements with virtually all the LatinAmerican Republics for the use of air bases. Tho Latin-Amefican Republics will be responsible for the construction of such bases on their own soil, but the United States has agreed to supply technical and material assistance.
Bases will bo developed at Natal (Brazil), in the Argentine and Chile, and probably in Cuba and the Dominican Republic, with which countries negotiations are proceeding. The “New York Times” expects an early announcement of further loans to the Latin-Americas from the fund of 500,000,000 dollars established for the purpose by Congress. It adds that the new bases will overcome the lack which navy officials feared would prejudice tho United States’ ability to defend South America below the “bulge.”
