the Nero found an lnsurperable
obstacle in a gulf 3l,s95 feet deep,

bona, and thence south to Guam.
This gives Us good cable. but the
landing on Japane>e territory Is
not to be approved unless 1t is i'm
possible to avoid it. 1t can easily be
avoided by running the south-south-

has the finest harbor IN the Pacific,
and thence northwest to Guam.
This route, while little longer,
would place all the landings on
Trntad States territory.

The problem as to what taxes shall
