 Wilson sefu,es obejeetions
 President Wilson and Secretary Lansing have considered carefully the objections which will be leveled against their actions and are pre- pared to show that none Of them is sound. So far as the ownership of land by German corporations is con. cerned the right of eminent do main" applies and this government can acquire whatever harbor prop erty 1t needs for whatever purpose 1t has in mind
 As to the price. the islands are oi the utmost stragetic value. both with respect to the Atlantic coast and Gulf sates and the Panama canal, and under these circumstances the sum of S25.OOO.OOO is not considered excessive.
 It is quite true that most of the population is Of negro blood. but there are less than S0.OOO persons on the islands. and their transfer to the American flag would not consti- ute any menace to the United States.
 So far as the apparent inconsist- eucy of the Democratic policy is con- cerned. it is asserted there is great difference between islaads in the West Indies. which are needed for defensive purposes and islands in the far Pacific. which. 1t is claimed. make for the military weakness of the nation.
 Natural Base for an Enemy
 The general board Of the navy is preparing memorandum describing the importance Of the possession Of the islands by the United States. It is obvious. according to these ex- perts. that any European nation at. tacking this country must establish.

 This is impossible on the Atlantic or gulf coast, because before an army can be transported the seas must be swept free of the enemy; and the Increase in the regular fore es of the United States assures the prompt destruction of any small num- per of men which 8 hostile fleet might be able to land.
 The natural place for an enemy to locate a base would be the West Indies. for this would provide him with dual obiectiye-the United States proper and the Panama Canal
