Doubling an adverse contract BY

However, the player who Is not

HOOVER VISITS
GOER|NG TODAY

BERLIN, March 9 G.N.S0
Former President Herbert Hoover,
who yesterday frankly told Chan
cellor Hitler that the Nazi totali-
tartan system could never be ex-
tended to the United States, and
even expressed the opinion it may
not last long in Germany, was
scheduled today to hold q rendez-
vous with Field Marshal Hermann
Wilhelm Goering.
Whether Hoover would prove as
outspoken with Goering when
they meet at the latter's hunting
lodge as he was with Hitler
aroused keen speculation.
Last night. at a dinner rendered
Hoover by the Karl SchurZ So
ciety, DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, preSi-
dent of the ReichSbank, toasted
the former American IreSloenC as
the "protagonist of the conscience
of humanitarianiSm and interna-
tional understanding" and added:
There is certain tragic ele-
ment in the fact that q man
who had the noblest humani-
tartan ideas was unable to bring
his ideas to full success. We
may expect great things yet
from the man who is our guest"
schacht praised Hoover espe-
cially for the 1891 debt mora
torium and for his relief admin
istration for the Belgians during
the World War.

held details, but it was confirmed
officially that an arrangement
had been concluded.
BOLSTERS STRENGTH
Great Britain's only reservation
it was said, was that there could

The effect of this arrangement
is to enormously increase Amer

ening Singapore into one Of the
greatest naval bases in the world
IMPORTANT BASE
Should it be decided at any
time to increase or reinforce the
United States fleet in Far Eastern
waters, the Singapore base would
be invaluable to the Navy, for the
Manila base does not afford dry
docking facilities for anything
above the light cruiser class, and
the Honolulu base Is too far away
to afford much service in an
emergency.
Existence of the Anglo-American
arrangement was first revealed in
the British House Of Commons to-
day in response to q question.
Geoffrey Shakespeare, parliament
ary under-secretary Of the admir-
atty, explained, In reply to a ques-
ton, that Great Britain was will
ing to permit the American Navy
to use the Singapore .dockyard
provided ordinary payment for
services were made.
So far as is known, Great Brit
ain has not extended these priV-
leges to any other nation.
OFFICIALS RETICIENT
While officials Of the State and
Navy Department were reluctant
to discuss the matter today, it was
ascertained that some weeks ago
when the Far Eastern situation
was more tense than it now is, the
American Government approached
the British government with the
suggestion that the arrangement
be worked out.
Great Britain, anxious for
American cooperation, readily as-
sented in principle, and after con-
siderable correspondence the mat
ter was arranged.

nounced through Stephen T.
Early, secretary to President
Roosevelt, but commercial avia-
ton" as represented by one major
line could see no possible use for
the two islands except as weather
stations.
BRITISH CURIOUS
Editors note: From London
came dispatches that curious
members of the House Of Com
mons would subject Prime
Minister Chamberlain to a quiz
zing on what steps the British
government is taking to preserve
claimed British rights in the
isletS.)
While the Phoenix group is 200
miles closer to established routes
than Rowland or Jarvis Islands
which featured in the last flight
Of Amelia Earhart, the spokesman
for one transport company
asserted that the group would be
Of little Importance as a base
because it would cut in half one
leg of a trip without reason.
Aviation can always use more
weather stations and the islands
would be useful for that pur-
pose," the spokesman said, but
we do not see at this time AT
least, how they would be of any
other benefit to aviation"
AIR SURVEY IN 1884
He revealed that the CONNER
eial companies had surveyed the
group as far back as 1894 and had
decided that they were Of no par
ticular Importance in plotting the
New Zealand route.
Air distances on the present
route ore 1,1O0 miles from Ha-
waii to Kingdom Reef, 1900 mules
from Kingdom Reef to the Samoan
Islands and. 1900 miles from
Samoa to New Zealand.
ITO use Phoenix as a base would
defeat the very purpose for which
the transport planes were devel-
oped-long hops" the spokesman
said. The group lies about half.
way between Kingdom Reef and
Samoa.
