Mr.. Mark White of Summit

very interesting talk on fish
propagation. Mr.. White stated
that a fish census program has
been in action for some time with
traps set in streams and lakes to
count the fish population. The
amount set for Buckeye Lake af-
ter about a year of observation
is between> 100000 and 10,-
100000 fish. This is a surpris-
ing amount but a fairly accurate
count can be made with this
method. The streams are also
well stocked and he recommends
that no more be put in for some
time as the fish food is getting
scarce.

High Officials Confer
On Acquisition Of
British Base Sites
Work Can Sturt as Soon
As Arrangements for
Lease Are Completed
BY The associated Press.

BY the associated Press.
The Government ranking legal,
military and foreign policy officials
conferred today on legal questions
involved in acquisition by the United
States of off-shore naval and air
bases.
Negotiations with the British for
such bases have been reported in
London to be advanced to the stage
of agreement in principle.
Attorney General jackson said
after today's meeting at the Justice
Department: I'VE have discussed
the legal questions involved in the
proposal and procedure for American
acquisition of off-Shore naval and
air bases along the Atlantic"
Mr.. Jackson did not amplify and
none of the other conferees would
comment in response to questions
whether a British government re-
quest for United States destroyers
was also taken up at the meeting.
President Roosevelt has said that
the destroyers question was not in
volved in the air and naval base
situation. Prior to todays confer
ence there had been much specula-
ton that the question of letting the
British have the fighting ships would
be discussed.
Knox, Stimson Attend.
Meeting with Mr.. Jackson were
Secretary of the Navy Knox, Sec
rotary of War Stimson, Acting Sec
rotary of State WelleS, Admiral
Harold R. Stark, chief of naval
operations; Gen. George C. Mar
shall, Army chief of staff, and
Green Hackworth, legal adviser to
the State Department.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
this country has plans ready for quick
establishment of new naval and al:
bases to close vital gaps in hemi-
sphere defenses as soon as negotla-
lions are completed for leases OF
strategic British territory.
President Roosevelt was expected
to press the detailed negotiations
following the announcement Of Lord
Halifax, British foreign secretary,
that agreement in principle already
had been reached for 99-year lrases
of military sites stretching from
Newfoundland to the Caribbean APP
proach to the Panama Canal.
Army and Navy authorities were
understood to have plans ready for
beginning work on the new bases
as soon as the sites are available

Reported
Seeking U. 5.
Military Pact
Defense of Canada,
Joint Asiutic Policy
Would Be Provided
Nv tie Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 21.-Unofficial but
well-informed sources indicated to-
day that the British government is
seeking a military alliance with the
United States.
anadian-American discussions on
mutual defense are considered in
these quarters to be the opening
wedge in a British effort to obtain
a full military accord between the
United States and Britain.
AS envisaged now, such an al
lance would embrace the defense
of Canada and other British possess
sions in the Western Hemisphere
and. perhaps even more important.
would form the basis for common
diplomacy in the Far East at the
conclusion of the European conflict"
as one informant put it.
THE plain truth Of the matter"
said a neutral diplomat, lis that
neither Great Britain nor the United
States has a powerful friend left
anywhere else in the world. 1t be-
hooves them to get together and
make the best of the sorry situa-
ton"
Canadian Defense Studied.
Official sources were reluctant to
comment on the talks between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Canadian Prime
Minister w. L. Mackenzie King,
which resulted in decision to estab-
lish a joint defense board, but salts
faction was evident.
There were reports here that the
conversations progressed to the by
pothetical naval defense of Canada
and the United States in the event
the British fleet were lost and aerial
defense not only on the seaboard
but from United States bases on the
Pacific such as Sitka and Northern
Alaska.
1T is a logical progression from
these talks to military alliance
with Great Britain" said one re-
liable person. Il think We may re-
gard the present Canadian-Amer-
lean talks as similar to those which.
in the early 1900s, preceded creation
of the entente Cordiale between
France and his majesty's govern
ment."
More Useful at Peace.
Official British reluctance to COM
ment may be explained by the pres
ence of public opinion in England
that on-belligerent United States
is more valuable to Britain than
an America at war. In the lattet
event, these persons reason the
United States would have to use
most of her planes and munitions
for Strengthening her own Panama
and Atlantic defenses, instead of
letting Britain use them.
This group probably is far more
powerful than the smaller and more
vocal body, including a spr;,lklinc
of American expatriatcs. who are
calling for immediate American in
tervention against Germany
There are evidences that the &C
tivities of the second group are en-
barrassing the British government
in its efforts to obtain war sup
plies from the United States. These
activities, it is feared, are arousing
isolationist sentiment in America by
what one member of Parliament de-
scribes as "short-sighted and arro-
CANT tactics"
