99-YEAR LEASES
U.S. BASES ON BRITISH ISLAND. (Rec. 9.50) WASHINGTON, April 28. Senator Hull (Secretary of State) at a Press conference, said: The question of the permanent possession by America of her present bases on British islands in the Western Atlantic might more appropriately be asked many years from now, than asked to-day. Senator Hull apparently was implying that the United States does not intend requesting to have the permanent control of these bases. The bases are now under lease for 99 years. Meanwhile the members of the House Naval Sub-Committee, which lias urged the permanent acquisition of these bases, as reported on April 20, have expressed disappointment at Mr Churchill’s rejection of this idea.
