MILITARY BASES
NEEDS OF AMERICANS
Rec. 9 a.m. NEW YORK, Jan. 19. The military editor of the "New York Times," Mr. Hanson Baldwin, says that the bases which are considered necessary to provide minimum protection for the United States include all those already under our sovereignty, plus Trinidad, Bermuda, Newfoundland, a base on the shoulder of Brazil or Dakar, and in Pacific Galapagos, the Marshalls, the Carolines, and the Marianas. "Moreover, major bases are probably necessary at Truk or Guam. If we enter an international policing system it will also be necessary to arrange for the mutual use of all the bases of the participating Powers. "For example, we shall require thq facilities at Singapore, while the Bn« tish might need those at Hawaii.''
