across the intersection, stopped and
then started again, walking into

by tho presence Of our coast artillery
mission In Brazil and our sale to
that country Of 90 long range 6-inch
guns-hardly suitable weapons for
Brazilian conditions, but admirable
Tor harbor defense purposes.
The positions mentioned-New.
foundland, Bermuda, the Bahama
Islands, Trinidad and vicinity and
French Guiana-are the points OF
chief military interest to us among
the Atlantic and West Indian pos
sessions Of Great Britain and France.
However, we would be compelled in
seH-defense to prevent any forcible
transfer Of any European possession
IN this hemisphere. The Danish and
Dutch possessions must be borne
particularly in mind In this respect.
We would assuredly use force II nee.
essary to prevent their occupation
by Germany, nor would we be likely
to allow Great Britain to take them
over as protective" measure.
In writing the above I have con-
fined myself purely to military and
strategical considerations. The po-
ltical difficulties which we would
encounter in any move to acquire
these positions are certainly very
great; but one wonders whether, in
view Of the precarious situation Of
the world, we ought not in our
own present and future interest
to make genuine effort to
overcome these difficulties and ad-
just our military position in this
hemisphere. Remember that bases
mean ships and aircraft; that Is to
say, the more well-located bases We
have, the greater our forces can
cover and the less the total force
required. 1t is a matter well worth
careful and considered attention.

fleet, moving from its normal sta
ton In the Pacific, might be ex-
pected to debouch II its prezence in
the Atlantic were required. The de-
fense Of the eastward part Of the
Caribbean will rest on our new base
at Puerto Rico when 1t Is COM
pleted.
The principal entrance from the
Atlantic to the Caribbean Is the
Windward Passage between Cuba
and Haiti, through which passes the
bulk Of our intercoastal trafnc en-
route between Panama and East
Coast ports This waterway is con-
trolled by our base, held on lease
from Cuba, at Guantanamo Bay,
but In the seaward direction the ap-
proaches to the Winward Passage
are commanded by the British
archipelago Of The Bahama Islands,
which also cover the approaches to
the Strait of Florida, the only direct
route from the Atlantic to the Gulf
Of Mexico. This archipelago has
many anchorages which might be
used by submarines or seaplane car
riers; in any Atlantic war it would
prove certainly nuisance, and pos
sibly a danger unless we were able
to control it.
Outward from the Caribbean our
fleet can operate either to the north
or the south. If operating to the
north 1t will have the support of our
Atlantic coast home bases. If, how
ever, 1t were required to operate In
the South Atlantic its radius OF ac-
ton would be much more circum.
scribed. It is necessary to remem-
Der that European naval force
possessing an advance base on the
western bulge of Africa or in the
vicinity Of the Cape Verde Islands
would be approximately 1000 miles
nearer to the chief ports on the
east coast Of South America than
we are at Puerto Rico, our EASTERN
most base. Hence, we certainly have
a considerable degree of interest in
any change in the political or mill
tary tenure of any point on the
African coast in the area indicated,
or the adjacent islands.
Good System in Pacific.
In the Pacific we have very good
island outpost system, which serves
both offensive and defensive pur-
poses. In the Atlantic our coast
might be so protected and the radius

could be maintained. Newfoundland
especially would enable US to OBJ
servs with less anxiety any change
in the political status of Denmark,
since from Newfoundland we could,
more easily than we can now, i'm
pose our veto on any attempt by
Germany or some other power to
take over Iceland and Greenland. A
naval and air base on Newfoundland,
provided 1t had an ice-free harbor,
would indeed be an admirable COW
ering point for the whole vital
Northeastern section Of the United
States.
It is possible to exaggerate the
danger Of Bermuda as q potential
base for attack on our coast. The
island at present has no great re-
sources Of its own, nor is it strongly
fortified. Its relation to us Is not
dissimilar to that OF Guam to
Japan. We could not tolerate an
enemy there and we certainly could
prevent any enemy from establish
ing himself there, or from staying
long If he did manage to arrive.
II Bermuda were to be heavily
fortified so as to be capable of pro-
longed resistance aircraft operating
thence might indeed do us serious
damage; but it is hardly to be con-
templated that we should stand
idly by during the two or three
years that would be necessary to
convert Bermuda into a fortress Of
the first class. Southwark from
Puerto Rico our first point Of in
terest is in the vicinity Of Trinidad.
This location would enable us to
control the one main shipping lane
into the Caribbean which we do
not now directly dominate, that
from the Panama Canal to the
east coast OF South America, which
passes just north of Trinidad. Such
base would also advance us several
hundred miles closer to the east
coast ports Of South America than
we now are at Puerto Rico, though
it would still not wholly overcome
the advantage which would be pos
sessed by a European force based
in West Africa.
Interested in Brazil's Harbors.
A position on the coast of French
Guiana would advance us still
farther, but in case of actual opera
tions in the South Atlantic, 1t is
probable that we should have to
make some arrangements for the
use Of Brazilian harbors. the only
really satisfactory solution to the
problem. Hence, our interest in
Brazilian harbor defense evidenced

Strategic Value

Possession Would Give
Vast Aid to Defense,
Says Maj. Eliot
BY MAJ. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT,

Recently had occasion to COM
ment on the extension Of the area
Of our military interest in the re-
gion, Immediately adjacent to the
Panama Canal forced upon us by the
increase In the range, speed and de-
structive power of modern weapons.
For similar, though not identical,
reasons there Is apparent a quick
ening of interest in the islands Of the
Atlantic. Several proposals have
been made in congressional circles
for the acquisition of some of the
British and French islands in this
hemisphere; it may, therefore, be an
appropriate moment to examine in
some detail the strategic considera-
tions which should affect our atti-
tude toward these island positions.
II we were, now or at some future
time, to seek for military purposes
the acquisition OF any Of these
islands or the possession by lease
hold or otherwise of bases therein
our reasons would include one or
more OF the following:
l. To extend the radius Of ac-
ton of our naval or air forces
into areas in which they cannot
efficiently operate from existing
bases.
2. To deny, to a possible enemy,
positions which might otherwise
be occupied and used as bases
against us.
3. To provide harbors of refuge
for our ocean and coastwise ship
ping and aircraft and points of
support for patrol forces and con-
voy escorts.
Defense Rests on Puerto Rico.
