marsh-land in the mouth of San Juan harbor. It would develop this tiny island into a first-class air base, filling in the swammy ground and generally extending and solid- ifynig 1t.
 It would put up docks, breakwa- ters, wharves, fuel dumps, and machine shops. And when it fin- ished, it would breath a sigh of relief and figure that the east coast of the United States-including the all-important Panama Canal was about as safe as anybody could make 1t.
 DEMANDING
 THE CARIBBEAN
 Plans call for creation of per- manent facilities for passing one carrier group of airplanes and two patrol plane squadrons on Isla Grande. Since the harbor mouth is wide enough to let the ocean swells come in, there'll be big breakwater.
 On St. Thomas Island, which isn't so very man miles to the east, there'l be a smaller base for a squadron of marine corps planes. And the great Coco Solo base at Panama will be enlarged and strengthened.
 When this is done, America
 airplanes and surface vessels will
 have the whole Caribbean Sea
 under constant surveillance. Mo-
 body will be able to come in or go
 out without being spotted instant
 y-and, of course, violently
 bounced upon If necessary. No
 European force will pc able to get
 within many hundred of miles of
 Panama. Any attack on the At
 lantic seaboard of the United l States will be flanked. So will
 any thrust at South America. All of which takes on added inn portance in view of the latest scare story that is going around Washington.
 This story-which, incidentally is based on solid fact-deals witt the amazing expansion of German commercial air lines in South America, airlines which will SCOT encircle the continent. The Ger mans are using, for the most part big 24-passenger transport planes and are accommodating big supplies of spare parts, motors, and fuel al different South American airports
 There isn't anything scary about that, of course, except for the fact that the engines ana parts for these planes are Interchangeable with the engines and parts for Germany's army bombers.
 JUST IN
 CASE
 Theoretically, Germany could, on a few days notice, put good-sized fleet of bombing planes in the northern part of South America, and have available extra engines, spare parts and plenty of fuel for them.
 Someone has figured out that those planes could take off from a
 point within two thousand miles of such widely-separated Ameri- can cities as Philadelphia and Fort Worth. And of course, they would practically be m the back yard of the Panama Canal. ....
 But if there is anything in all of this to worry any Americans, the Puerto Rico base is pretty com- plete answer to it. For even if you assume that the Germans did want to make an attack on America, that they could get sizeable fleet of bombers down in South America without being intercepted, and that those bombers promptly bombed off the face of the earth by American planes operating out of Panama even if you assume all of that, the Puerto Rico base would still remain an almost impossible barrier.
