PACIFIC ISLANDS
AMERICAN AERIAL SURVEY LOOKING FOR FORTIFIED AREAS (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, November 2. (Received Nov. 2, at 8.30 p.m.) The Daily Herald says: “ The United States, at a cost of £IOO,OOO, is preparing a big aerial survey of Pacific islands, nominally to collect geographical and scientific information, but in reality to find what the Japanese arc doing, as the United States is thoroughly alarmed at the persistent reports of fortified naval, submarine, and air bases in Bonin, Marianne and Pellew Islands. If fortifications are discovered they will be a flagrant breach of Article 19 of the Washington Treaty. The survey is likely to occupy one year.”
