FORTIFY
ISLANDS
PRESIDENT BELIEVES PACIFIC
COAST AND HAWAII SHOULD BE
PREPARED FOR WAR.

WASHINGTON. Dec 9.-Geurge A.
Knight, in company with Senator Per
kins, had a pleasant visit with the
president today Mr. Roosevelt greet
ed Knight warmly and called to him to
join a group while the president ham
mered into them the necessity for for
tifying the Hawaiian islEnds <mmedi-
ately.
81 want you to hear this" said
Roosevelt Il want all Pacific coast
people to get together and use their
influence to push through these appro-
priations"
Knight was smiling whe nhe emerg-
ed. He was asked if the president had
approved his bid for permanent chair
man of the national convention but
was noncommittal Several national
committeeman have suggested that
Knight would make fine presiding
officer and they are now at work
spreading his boom. Knight will re-
turn to california tomorrow
President Roosevelt is taking the
keenest interest in the question Of for
flying the Pacific coast from any pos
sibe invasion of a foreign fleet Not
only has the chief executive made
strong recommendations in his mes
sage to congress for a large appro-
priation for this purpose, but has talk
ed the matter over with members Of
congress Of the Pacific coast states.
Today Representative Hayes and
Kahn had occasion TO visit the White
House TO present some friends. After
receiving them the president turned to
the two California members and eX-
planned to them the necessity Tor forti-
flying not only the Pacific coast, but
the Hawaiian Islands as well.
He said he realized that more money
should be appropriated for the build
ing Of yards and docks on the Pacific
coast, especially in view of the APP
preaching visit Of the fleet, He made
it very plain to them that it was MS
desire that they should do everything
in their power to convince congress OF
the necessity for large appropriations
for the proper fertilization of the west
ern coast.
That all the members OF California
delegation are taking the same keer
interest in the question goes without
saying, and it is their purpose to dc
. all they can to bring whatever pres
/ sure is necessary upon congress in or
| der that the presidents wishes may be
/ carried out.
