supply ships and areas for sea and
lane plane operations.
But at Maya9 aana Island, in the
Bahamas, where a special board had
recommended that plane base be
located at shallow, reef-sheltered
AbrahaMs Bay, he said anchorages
were poor and that efforts would be
made to find something better.
That was one of the matters he
discussed yesterday when the cruise
was climaxed by his first meeting
since 1919 with the Duke of Windsor.
The former King of England, now
Governor of the Bahamas, flew out
from Miami and conferred with the
President aboard the Tuscaloosa
while it was anchored at Eleuthera
Island-one of those over which Ed
ward has jurisdiction.
Exceptional secrecy was MAIN
tanned about the cruise as a precau-
ton against the possibility that the
Tuscaloosa and her escort destroyers,
the Mayrant and Trippe, might be
mistaken for hostile vessels by a
submarine or raider of one of the
European belligerents.
Reporters aboard the Mayrant
were permitted to file stories about
the stops at various points only after
the vessels had left them and were
unable to disclose destinations in ad-
| vance.
The ships steamed along IN a tri-
angle, the destroyers leading and
forming an anti-submarine screen
for the cruiser. Spotlights played
all night on American flags, gun
crews kept watches around the clock
and torpedoes and depth charges
were ready for instant use.
Fishing, Mr.. Roosevelts favorite
type of recreation, was a side line
on the cruise. There were no days
devoted entirely to it. as on previous

Problem Of More Aid
To Britain Faces
President on Return
Expected to Arrive
Tomorrow Following
Caribbean Cruise

By the Associated Press.
Many weighty problems and a
desk piled high with work await
President Roosevelt when he re-
turns to the White House tomor-
row from his Caribbean cruise.
Within the next three weeks, the
Chief Executive must prepare two
important documents for presenta-
ton to the new Congress meeting
in January. The first is the budget
for the fiscal year beginning next
June /, and the other is his an
nual message on "the state of the
Union
Executive departments already
have sent data to the White House
for Mr.. Roosevelts use in preparing
these Wssaasss:
The Fresident also will find on
his desk the walter-Logan bill, a
measure highly distasteful to some
administration aides. He must act
on it by Wednesday, or allow it to
become law without his signature,
and Washington, generally, expects
a veto. The bill would broaden the
| jurisdiction of the courts over the
decisions and procedure of such gov
ernmental agencies as the Labor
Board and Communications Com
mission
.>Iffdsh Aid Foremost.
Foremost among policy matters
which appear pressing for decisions
are the questions of financial aid
/ for Great Britain and energizing the
defense program.
Defense efforts admittedly are
tagging. william S. Knudsen. de-
fense commissioner in charge Of
production, disclosed Friday night
that airplane production was 80 per
cent behind estimates made last
July.
In connection with the talk of
ways to whip the rearmament pro-
gram into top speed some are pre-
dieting the appointment of a defense
head. possibly Mr.. Knudsen, with
authority to go into the factories
themselves, search out production
bottlenecks and show the manufac-
turer how to eliminate them.
The Presidents lieutenants have
gone as far as they feel that they
can on the question of lending
money to England, and the next
step is up to the President. This
week they received from Sir Fred
erick Phillips, undersecretary of the
British treasury. balance sheet"
contrasting Britain's buying re-
sources here with the cost of orders
already placed and in prospect.
Convey System Proposed.
The British claim that before long
they are going to run out of Amer
ican dollars and that loans will
then be necessary if they are to
continue their war effort.
/ Secretaries Morgenthau and Jones
insist that nothing should be done
without congressional authorization
If Mr.. Roosevelt is of their view he
may make recommendation con-
! corning this question in his mes
sage on the state. of-the Nation.
J The question of other aid to the
/ British also appears to be fast de-
veloping. Various advocates of in
creased American assistance are un-
derstood to have formulated two
proposals:
That United States warship con-
supplies to Britain.
That the United States bring
about the sale to Britain of some
143 foreign flag cargo vessels, such
as those of Denmark, which are tied
up in American ports.
Both proposals would require con-
gressional action and have not as
yet, it was said. been formally laid
before the State Department or the
President.

Pointing up evidence of Anglo
