U.S. PRESIDENT’S TALKS
DUKE OF WINDSOR AMERICAN VISIT PLANNED WEST INDIES BASES (Reed. Dec. 16, 9 a.m.) NEW YORK, Dec. 14. A report from Miami says that the Governor of the Bahamas, the Duke of Windsor, returned by plane after conferring with President Roosevelt aboard the cruiser Tuscaloosa in Bahamas waters. He said he had paid his respects to President Roosevelt in his capacity of Governor of the Bahamas', and discussed the international situation only in general and the future of the West Indies, particularly American naval bases in the Caribbean Sea. A dispatch from aboard the Tuscaloosa states that President Roosevelt said the Duke of Windsor had promised to help in locating a new site for the projected United States base in the Bahamas to replace the present location at Mayaguana, which was a poor anchorage. He said the Duke of Windsor intended to visit the United States at an unspecified time after the beginning of the year to inspect civilian conservation camps.
The Tuscaloosa is headed for the United States.
