POLITICAL QUESTION
FORTIFYING GUAM
MEASURE BEFORE CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, JTanuary 19,
Despite President Roosevelt's disclaimer that he had approved the proposed 5,000,000-dollar expenditure on the fortification of Guam Island, a naval bases measure dealing with it was introduced into Congress today, avowedly "with the Administration's approval."
