GOODWILL PATROL
Visit To South American Ports United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, June 7. The Secretary of the United States Navy (Mr Charles Edison) has announced that the cruiser Wichita is en route to South American ports “on a friendly visit.” The State Department indicated that other warships might follow to form a “goodwill” patrol in south-western hemisphere waters, probably in relays so that two or three would constantly be on duty to be able to back up South American navies in the event of trouble since the latter are light vessels, mostly of the destroyer category.
