scribed the landing of United States
naval forces on Iceland as "one of
the most important and significant
events of recent months from our
standpoint"
It's big news and important

This source said Britain had been

Iceland governments, asserting, Il

of the Western Hemisphere also were
aware of the move"
1T is a logical development of
the policy outlined by the President
at the time he announced the taking
of steps to prevent the Germans
from occupying Greenland" he con-
tinued.
He said the action is very much
welcome as far as We are con-
cerned. 1t is a practical manifesto

obtain world domination.
1T has secondary virtue for
Britain in that it relieves us of
commitments in the Western Hemis-
phere at time when German ag-
greSsion in the east is imposing
fresh obligations and strain on the
British government"
The spokesman said both British
and United States forces would be
in Iceland temporarily but that the
British would be withdrawn by
stages"
Won't Talk of Patrols.
Asked whether the action meant
that Britain also would be relieved
of the necessity of patrolling the
waters off Iceland, he replied, Il
cannot answer that question"
