MILITARY BASES
BRITAIN AND AMERICA
EARLIER DISCUSSIONS REVEALED WASHINGTON, Apl. 17.
The State Department released documents revealing that Britain rejected an American proposal in 1929 that Britain should refrain from establishing military, naval, and military aviation stations in her western hemisphere possessions in return for an American pledge to refrain from similar activity in the Far East. The proposal, under which the world apparently would be divided into two spheres, was made at the historic MacDonald-Hoover meeting at Rapidan, Virginia. Mr Ramsay MacDonald also turned down Mr Hoover’s proposal that food ships be granted the same immunity from attack in war-time as hospital ships.
