MANY NEWBASES
Naval, Air Forces to Be

BY HOBART c. MONTEE
fTtr,ta,s p.a., ctam F1o--o,nordo,


UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
washington, Nov. 14-(UP)-Ad-
ministration officials confronted with
Mexican reports Of a U. S.-Mexican
defensive alliance, hoped today that
more cooperative relations" with
Mexico would soon result in the con-
struction of strong Mexican naval
and air bases.
They emphasized that the bases
would be Mexican, built by and for
Mexico. But 1t was indicated that
the United States probably would
help financially and the bases would
be available to American airplanes
and warships on hemisphere defense
duty.
state department officials denied
the Mexican reports Of mutual de-
tense alliance. They did not deny
that mutual defense discussions have
been underway for some time.
This correspondent can assert with
confidence that discussions began ir
August after unofficial emissarieS
from Mexico City had brought tc
Washington the outline Of a general
plan for cooperation between the
two governments on which, 1t was
claimed, both the retiring Cardenas
government and the incoming presi-
dent-elect, Gen. Manuel Avils
Camacho, would agree.
Provisions of Plan
That plan provided for combined
naval and air bases at Acapulco
Tamuico ,Ciudad del Carmen, Cozu-
mel, and bases exclusively for naval
use at Salina Cruz, and other points
If desired; improvement Of Vera
Cruz harbor to accommodate Deep
draught vessels-all provided suitable
loans could be obtained in the United
States. It was proposed that the
construction work would be conduct
ed by Mexico, although much Of the
materials would have to come from
the United States.
This outline was presented tt
both the state and navy departments
through unofficial channels, and Is
believed to have formed at least the
basis for the subsequent diplomatic
conversations.
Reports that an agreement has
been signed were generally believed
here to be premature. TIL Cardenas
government has only two weeks ant
two days more, and any agreement
must necessarily involve the incom-
ing government. The Camacho gov.
eminent takes Office December /.
Some informed sources here be-
lieve that if and when an agreement
is signd, it is likely to be merely one
extending credits to Mexico, such
as have been granted to other Latir
American governments. Permission
for American airplanes and war
ships to use the designated ports
could be in the form of an unwrit'
ten agreement or a Mexican gov
ernmental decree, 1t was said.
