By CLAUDE A. MAHONEY.

President Roosevelt today de-
scribed the absorption Of the Of
flee of chief of naval operations
by the Office of the Commander
in chief of the fleet as a move
toward simplification necessary
because of changes in the Navy'S
physical operations.
The move, announced last night,
sent Admiral Harold r. Stark. oper-
ations chief, to command American
vessels in European waters and gave
the duties of his Office to Admiral
Ernest J. King
The President said for years the
old system worked we'll, but within
the last few years there had been
greater change, due to expansion
of the Navy and to what he termed
the materiel situation.
1t became increasingly difficult,
Mr.. Roosevelt said. to divide opera
tions involving movement of ships
and their preparation for movement.
Thus it was decided to merge the
divisions and give one commander
the power to prepare the vessels for
operation and the power to keep
them going.
Responsibility Centered.
The new arrangement makes for
a centralized responsibility. the
President said. Mr. Roosevelt was
asked to discuss the disappoint-
ing tests of the Sea Otter, a type of
cargo ship designed to be powered
by gasoline engines with more or
less an outboard motor type of pro-

to help the Congress in finding what

Here for Conferences
With Roosevelt

England is making ready
against a German invasion at
tempt which leaders think might
come this spring, 1t. Gen. A. G.
L. McNaughton, commander in
chief of Canadian forces in Eng
land, told press conference here
today.
The general. who came to WASH
ington for conferences with Presi-
dent Roosevelt and others. said the
whole Allied plan contemplated
winning the war by going after the
Germans in an offensive operation.
But, he added. it must be a sore
temptation to Hitler and his asso-
ciates to swing a club on us and put
us out Of the picture by sending
his armies to England For that
reason the defense of England is
regarded as paramount considera-
ton Of Allied strategists.
Nazi Strength Is Greater.
Gen. McNaughton said he thought
Germany was in a better position
today to try an invasion than it was
in 1910 after the fall of France.
even though Germany has to fight
Russia Germany has been build
ing up its forces in Europe to handle
the invasion operation, he explained.
The general advised against shift
ing large bodies of troops from their
present place to the West Coast of
Canada If Japan assaults it with
nuisance bombing raids"
The people responsible for the
direction of the war have got to
make up their minds where the de-
cisive theaters are Gen. Nc
Naughton said as he met the press
at the Canadian Legation.
They then must bring the maxi
mum forces to the places of deci-
sion, and they must resist all temp
tations to dissipate the forces.
Says Canadians Are Restless.
ITS unpleasant for people who
have to take the nuisance raid, but
that's one of the things about go
ing to war. Somebody is going to
get hurt"
Gen. McNaughton said the Cana
dian forces in England now consist
of three infantry divisions, one ar
mored division, tank brigade and
organizations necessary to corps
establishment
These troops. he said. are rest
less for the time when they can
put something sharp into the belly
of the Hun" or. in other words,
take the offensive. Gen McNaugh-
ton said:
I've never done anything but
talk an offensive in Europe. I be-
lieve in it. Canada believes in it
1t must be obvious to everybody
we have been building up our forces
in England, and l don't think you
can accuse us Of building up the
forces there just for the fun of

10000 Japanese from Hawaii to the
mainland of the United States "be-
fore it Is too late"
The Army should take the same
precaution in Hawaii that it is tax

become dangerous" Mr.. Costello

japanese in Hawaii Gho are most
likely to be subversive in case of an
attack upon the Territory and re-
move them to the mainland, far
enough from the coast 50 they can
not engage in sabotage.
1T is my guess the Army is con-

Japanese the opportunity to attack
