Destroyer Deal
Seen Defense Tonic
In Argentina
Swop Expected to Turn
Other Republics Toward
Active Cooperation
BY HAROLD X. MILKS,
Press Foreign Corresponden


BUENOS AIRES. - Argentina s
very favorable reaction to the
United States transfer of so de-
stroyerS for chain of British bases
leads informed quarters here 10
state this country now Is better dis
posed than ever toward cooperative
military defense with the United
States.
1t is believed President Roose-
velt's trade has opened the way for
a resumption of defense negotiations
between the United States and South
American nations with a view to
filling in missing links to guard
the entire eastern seaboard OF the
Western Hemisphere.
One Argentine officer says. THE
United States exchange of deStroyers
for bases has done more for world
democracies than anything that has
happened since the war began.
1T has convinced us down here
that your country means business
not just words"
Sound Out Further Cooperation.
While United States officials con-
tinue to diSclaim present intentions
OF seeking leases for naval and air
bases in Uruguay and Argentina,
1t is learned at least one Army
official already is here making pre-
liminary Soundings" on the posi-
biities Of defense cooperation.
Informed quarters say the matter
of hemisphere cooperation is TAX
ing the form of possible exchange
facilities rather than an attempt
by the United States to lease per-
manent bases.
1t is recalled President Roosevelt
limited, or at least didn't deny. that
other bases might be established
Flaws in potential defense wall
in the South Atlantic are at three
polnts-where Brazil bulges toward
Africa, another near the mouth of
the River Platte and still farther
down on the Southern Argentine
coast.
Last June when United States
Army and Navy officers presented
defense proposals to Argentina in a
series of private conferences here
and in Montevideo, officials we're
extremely cool on the question of
exchanging defense facilities. Ar
gentina's attitude was credited with
causing Uruguayans to swerve away
from definite agreements.
Two Cruisers Headed Home.
The United States cruisers Wich-
ita and Quincy are en- route home
after over three months in the
South Atlantic. They appeared off
Uruguay after Nazi plot had been
reported. Upon leaving, members
OF the crew expressed belief they
were to return within a few months,
possibly to cooperative base some
where on the lower South American
coast.

WILLIS SLEPT
ON IRIS LAWN
AND TT WAS IN FRONT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE, TOO, IN
1905
OId-Time MOntanan, Tired Out by
Conference Conversation Rolled Up
in His OvercOat and Took q snOoze
While Talks Continued.

John Willis. Old-time MOntanan,
who with his wife recently visited
at Glasgow, their former home,
may be the only man who ever
slept on the White House lawn in
Washington. That informal rest
came during the early stages Of
work for the MIX river irrigation
project. But the story really begins
a long time before then.
Willis was a hunter and guide at
Thompson Falls late in the last cen
tJry. One day a letter came from q
man asking Willis If he could accom-
pany him on a hunting trip.
IF you can't shoot any better than
you can write, don't think So" Willis
wrote across the back of the letter
and returned it. A few days later an
easterner showed up in Thompson
Falls. He introduced himself to Willis
as the letter writer His name was
Theodore Roosevelt. In the years that
followed friendship developed between
them.
1t was natural then, in 1905, that
Glasgow business men selected Willis
as their representative in Washington
to urge the irrigation development. AT
conference between the president
and other valley representatives on a
late winter day, Willis related how he
became tired of all the talk and walked
out side door He found himself
facing an eXpanse of lawn.
Il just laid down, wrapped my over
coat around me and went to sleep,
he related.
A few days later Roosevelt wrote
Willis a personal note in which he
said II have asked the reclamation
bureau to take immediate action in
the whole Milk river matter"
Willis now makes his home in Los
Angeles.
