WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-Because
Of the protests voiced In the Jdp-
anese press and wide discussions
which have taken place in official
circles. the American naval maneu.
vers OF tho coming spring. usually
carried out in n rountine, humdrum
sort Of way, have attracted the at
tention of the entire world. They
have caused inquiries to be made
in the congress and the diplomatic
corps and even the president OF the
United States has found It e~xpedient
to refer to the planned operations
Of the American feet as carrying
no suggestion or thought which
might cause offense or uneaisness
to n friendly power.
The story or pilot" OF the maneu-
vers is easily told. The American
feet is going to try to take the
Hawaiian islands and is sailing out
of San Francisco the 18th Of April
on hat "warlike" mission.
The islands are to be defended by
the homo garrisons Of army and
navy forces.
And. believe It or not. airplanes
are to be used in large numbers.
both by the attacking and defending
units. This ought to please General
Mitchell and all the air advocates
in and out OF congress, Neither
the navy nor the army Would think
of planning any sort of maneuvers
in these days and times without an
adequate air force. AS n matter of
fact. the army bitterly complained
in the last combined in
and about the Panama Canal that
the navy had used practically moth
ing but airplanes and the soldiers
who had been lying in the bush"
waiting for the invading marines
and bluejackets, had all their plans
and purposes shot completely to
pieces.
This incident ought again to
satisfy those who feel the air is be-
ing sighted by the men behind the
naval guns.
But in tho coming maneuvers. the
heavy work is to be done. as usual,
by tho battleships. Theoretically.
they are going to convoy and open
the way for n fleet Of transports sup
posed to carry a landing force of
many thousands OF marines. If the
navy had nothing but airplanes.
they do o know how they could
over land such q fighting force on
allen" territory
The problem before the navy in
the coming contest is not only to
take" Hawaii. but to take It intact
rs It we're. In others words. the
navy will have to capture the naval
base at Rearl Harbor but not de
stroy It. The idea is that the hostile
fleet must use Pearl Harbor as It.
own base for further possible opera
tons.
1t Will be no sort Of task for the
navy to sumter forth and put Pear
Harbor out of business. They vii
have to take and put It into use
The naval works must be main
tained.
