French West Indies Stand As Gap In U. 5. Chain Of Aero-Naval Bases

cia, but to the west there is an ope:. stretch of sea to the Panama Canal, 1,400 miles away, through which ships could pass at night without being detected.
 It would only take several hours to negotiate the thin barrier of isl- andS before reaching the open sea This explains why the United States insisted on the establishment of naval patrols off Martinique. The patrols now enable the U. S. war ships to observe all shipping in the region.
 Invasion Tactics Studied.
 The United States naval maneu- vers were secret, but it is considered very likely that one of the principal problems studied was the repelling of an invader beyond the line formed by the southern group of the West Indian islands.
 From the United States naval viewpoint Guadeloupe and Marti- nique would constitute ideal bases to close the gap" Guadeloupe would provide excellent terrain for air bases and good site for small naval base. Half of the island is broad and fiat and the shallow by at Pointe a Pitre could be developed into an excellent seaplane and naval base protected from the strong winds that blow in this region.
 Martinique is the best of the West Indian islands for base opera tions. It has good fiat areas in the north, central, and southern parts. Fort de France harbor could accom- modate the entire U. s. fleet. Its surface covers 15 square miles High
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-28

1 mountains arranged in semi-circle give 1t excellent protection against the elements. The entrance is broad and deep. There are several bays and coves adequate for naval units. The harbor is equipped with mod ern derricks and dock facilities.
 Conversations with leading per- sonalities in Martinique have led this correspondent to believe that any German naval force entering Fort de France would be permitted to remain only "A hours, after which the ships would be interned. Mer- chant vessels, however, would be permitted to remain the length of time they desired.
 The French believe the Germans would not take the risk of sending a battleship into Fort de France, knowing what treatment it prob ably would receive from the Brit ish They say the Germans are not likely to seek a repetition of the Graf Spec affair
 Life in Martinique has returned to much of its former carefree Sim- plicity and gayety since tension with the United States has sub- sided.
 Sufficient stocks of gasoline have enabled authorities to restore nor- nal road transportation, with the result that food conditions have shown marked improvement. Lo- caIy produced vegetables, fruit, meat, and fish have become abun- dant again in Fort de France. Other essential products includ- ing medical supplies, soap, cloth, thread, shoes, etc., still are lacking because of shipping difficulties.

MT. Chase, in making the offer, said that part of the tract has been used hitherto by the city for payment of 8 nominal annual rental.
 The Waterville Green, which in- cludes a baseball field, playground and recreational facilities, is To- cated on ThOmastOn avenue. The land on which it is situated was given to the city by H. S. Chase and it's almost five acres have been fully developed.
 The Chase family has played a prominent part in the develop ment of the city's park system. It donated the land which Chase park occupies and has been active in many other park projects for many years.
 As soon as the Chase offer of the new land is formally accepted the city is expected to proceed with plans for early development of the new tract.

BY PETER c. RHODES

United Press Staff COrreSpondent)
 Fort De France, Martinique (via airmail, Dec. 28-(UP)-The &C., quisition of sites TOT naval and aero naval bases in the British West h. dies has resulted in a radical im- provement of the United States strategic position in the Caribbean
 The five British sites together with the old American bases will give the United States 8 far-flung semi-circular line of defense g thousand miles seaward from the Panama Canal-key to all naval strategy in this region.
 This improvement has occurred since last years naval maneuvers but the defeat of France has in- troduced a new factor in the Carib- bean situation. While Frenchmen insist that the Franco-G German armistice stipulates that no terri torial concessions will be made in the colonies, American naval strat- egy undoubtedly has taken into ac- count the possibility of an eventual transfer of the French West Indies to German control.
 Two Problems Faced.
 Two essential problems have arisen from this new situation First, how to prevent these highly important islands from falling into German hands, and, second, how to isolate them and eliminate their strategic threat should some sur prising move place them in the cno- trol of a power hostile to the United States.
 The appointment of Admiral Will liam D. Leahy as ambassador to France was said to indicate desire by the United States to solve these problems through diplomatic chan nelS. In the meantime, the United States has obtained important con- sessions from the French in the form of rigid naval patrols to guard against any surprises. There is nc doubt, however, that the French West Indian problem played an im- portant role in recent U. s. fleet maneuvers.
 While the British grant of base sites will permit the eventual con- struction of a naval wall to guard the Gulf of Mexico and the north- ern approaches of the Caribbean an entirely different problem that remains to be solved exists to the south. This is the so-called naval gap" to the Panama Canal which American naval strategists have discussed for years and in which up to several months ago, the United States had no bases. The acquisition of bases on the island of Trinidad has supplied an .'an- chorage" near the South American coast.
 Called "St0p Gap Bases.
 The other bases which the United States has acquired along the 600- mile southern stretch of the West Indies from Trinidad to the Virgin Islands are only considered to be stop gaps" of limited importance. The small flat island of Antigua has one potential harbor at St. John which would require considerable dredging to make it available for small draft units.
 The second base on the island of St. Lucia is situated in the port of Castries, which also only has lirn- ited possibilities. The two bases were said to become listening" posts rather than combat points. A destroyer flotilla now is based at Castries and 1t is doubtful if more ships will be sent there.
 The West Indian gap has been closed to 8 certain extent by the acniiisifinrn nf AntiOila and St Ihi-

since last winter will probably hold rates down.
 Vacation seekers who come to Miami Beach between Jan. 15 and March l will have to pay on an average about $7 per day for a double room on the European plan.
 In Miami proper the rates are usually lower because hotels and apartments on the western side of Biscayne Bay do not attempt to compete with the establishments facing the ocean in Miami Beach
