ON ROOSEVELT TALK

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19-tU@
Here is the statement of

turning to the Pacific coast all
Of the fleet except the Hawai-
ian detachment. The President
stated that the fleet was re-
tanned in the Hawaiian area in
order to exercise a restraining
influence on the actions of ia
pan.
1 stated that in my opinion the
presence of the fleet in Hawaii
might influence a civilian po-
litical government, but that
Japan had a military govern
ment which knew waht the fleet
was undermined, which it
could not undertake active OPP
erations, therefore, the pres
ence of the fleet in Hawaii
could not exercise a restrain
ing influence on Japan's ac-
tions. further stated we were
more likely to make the ia
panese feel that we meant
business If a train we're assem-
bled, and the fleet returned to
the Pacific coast, with compile.
ments filled, the ships locked,
and fully supplied with ammu-
milton, provisions, stores, and
fuel and then stripped for war
operations.
The. President said in effect:
despite what you believe, !
know that the presence of the
fleet in the Hawaiian area, has
had, and is now having, re-
straining influence ON the &C.

Nationalist troops thrust IL miles
