AMERICAN USE OF PACIFIC BASES
(Received September 21, 12.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, September 19. The Washington correspondent of The New York Tinies says British Empire and United States representatives are conferring about the possibility of closer co-operation between English-speaking peoples throughout the world, particularly in the joint use of naval and air bases for mutual defence. The Secretary of State, Mr Cordell Hull, the British Ambassador, Lord Lothian, and the Australian Minister, Mr R. G. Casey, are participating in conversations chiefly about the United States using Australian, New Zealand and South African bases. The United States, it is stated, has adopted the policy of keeping enemies far from its coast. Thus bases in Australia, South Africa and Singapore would obviously be most valuable.
