Congressional Group
Urges Acquisition
OF Bases in Pacific
Izoe Coils for Speed in
Buying or Leasing
Galapagos and Cocos
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Acquisition of bases in the Gala
pages and Cocos Islands to protect
the Panama Canal In the Pacific
was urged today by Representative
lac. Democrat, of California.
With the perfect screen which
the new Atlantic and Caribbean
bases will afford" Representative
lac told newsmen. "all we need
now to make our defense setup
virtually complete are bases in the
Galapagos and Cocos Islands.
But We should lose no further
time in obtaining them"
Spokesman for a congressional
group which has advocated such
action, Mr.. Izac indicated that the
destroyer-baSe exchange with Great
Britain would bring a renewed cam
paign for facilities on the Pacific
Islands.
Secretary of the Navy Knox at
San Francisco yesterday said there
had been some discussion" on The
subject of the possible lease or pur-
chase of the Galapagos from Ecua-
dor and the Cocos from Costa RIGA.
officials, here, however, indicated
that no negotiations were in prog
reSS. and Speaker Bankhead report
ed, after White House conference
yesterday, that there is nothing
more in sight on any more bases"
Discussions have been held with
Ecuador over period of many years
regarding the Galapagos, but the
South American country has not
reacted favorably. Recently. how
ever, party of Ecuadorean and
United States experts visited the
islands in United States gunboat,
but the result of the trip was not
| described.
While the subject Of new Pacific
bases moved to the fore, attention
was being given to the possible civil
ian uses of the military bases leased
from Britain IN the Atlantic.
Coast Guard officials, particularly,
manifested interest in the use of
the bases for their patrol work and
various life-saving duties.
The Weather Bureau pointed out
that more valuable coastal weather
information could be made available
by the establishment of new weather
reporting stations, manned either by
Weather Bureau or Navy meteorol-
| ogists.
The bases also may be utilized by
such sea-going agencies as the Coast
and Geodetic Survey, whose boats
constantly sound the ocean bed for
new channels, navigational hazards
and other important data.
1t was pointed out that all these
civilian agencies could make great
contributions to defense in an emer-
gency.
