STRATEGIC POINTS
OCCUPATION PROPOSED
WASHINGTON, May 17.
The Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies today issued a statement urging President Roosevelt to announce that the United States will not permit the Axis' to gain direct or indirect control of Dakar, the Azores, and Cape Verde. The committee proposed that the United States and Britain should jointly occupy those places as a protective measure if there were any danger, of German control. "Vichy's capitulation, increasing the danger of Spanish collaboration, and the menace of Germany to Portugal, presents the gravest threat to the Western Hemisphere since American independence," the committee said.— U.P.A.
