Mexico City Farley
Shelves Question Of
Bases After War
By GARRETT HORNER,

MEXICO CITY, Mar. 1.-The
question of future use of air and
naval bases built by the United
States in several Latin American
countries during the war has been
shelved as too delicate for open
discussion at the Inter- American
Conference here, it was learned to-
day. However. projected conference
agreements for intensive military
collaboration after the war are ex-
pected to provide the framework
for the working out of satisfactory
arrangements individually with each
country involved.
Military advisers in the United
States delegation who realize the
strategic Importance of continuously
available facilities in Latin America
in any plans for future hemisphere
defense are understood to be greatly
encouraged by the spirit of unity
manifested at this conference. There
was some discussion last week of
attempting to work out a formula
for cooperative postwar use of the
bases now being operated by United
States forces in Latin America. but
1t is now believed that the problem
can best be solved through bilateral
arrangements carrying forward the
general principles of collaboration.
Two Significant Resolutions.
Especially significant in this re-
gard are two resolutions initiated
by representatives of Latin Ameri-
can delegations and expected to re-
ceive enthusiastic conference ap-
proval.
One measure sponsored by Mexico
calls for creation of permanent
organization of representatives of
the chiefs of stats of the military
forces of all the cooperating Amer
lean republics. This would amount
to postwar combined chiefs of staff
council for the Americas with con-
siderably more power than the pres
ent nter-American Defense Board,
which can only make recommended
tons to the various governments. A
companion resolution, drafted by the
Uruguayan delegation, establishes
the general principles of permanent
inter-American collaboration. pro-
iected into the postwar period as
we'll as during this war, also is in
the picture.
Should Simplify Settlement.
The proposed ''Chapultepec decla-
ration" would provide for immediate
joint military action against any act
or threat of aggression aimed at one
of the cooperating American repub-
lies. Development of such intenSl-
fed cooperative effort, as implicit in
these proposals, should make much
easier the settlement of the delicate
problems involved in disposition of
the bases which the United States
has built in halt dozen or more
Latin American l4ations under agree
ments limiting United States opera
ton of them to duration of the war
emergency.
United States officials dealing
with the problem want to assure
continued availability of the bases
to our forces after the war, in view
of our obligations for helping to-
maintain world peace, but have no
desire to infringe on the sovereignty
of the countries in which they are
located. .'~

Japanese May Crack
Under Awfu|Licking :
Admiral Mccain Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Calf, Mar. a..
Vice Admiral John S. Mccain, home
from his command of the I'd Carrier
Task Force. says the japanese are
taking an awful licking" and that
he believes they will crack.
In press interview yesterday, he
also said Tokyo might be taken
sooner than the Joint chiefs of staff
believe. Capture of the Japanese
homeland would not necessarily end
the war. though, Admiral Mccain
said, emphasizing that the enemy
is moving heavy industry to China
and that there might be a long
land campaign unless Russia comes
in"
The admiral frequently referred
to the japanese as "subhumans' and
beasts" and at one point said:
mo Jap I ever heard of deserves
to live We always thought it a
mark of inferiority to hate, but in
this war We hate. We are fighting
at Japan's front door, but our OBJ
jective is the same and it still is a
case Of killing or being killed"
Admiral Mccain was in charge OF
the task force from October, 1914, to
last January, and made strikes from
Formosa and the China coast to the
Philippines in support of Gen. Mac
Arthur's invasion of the Philippines
During that period his task force
destroyed total of 697 vessels and
1852 aircraft
The design and performance of
japanese aircraft is improving
steadily. Admiral Mccain said, but
the caliber of the enemy pilots is
deteriorating.
I'VE kill the good ones and we
don't give them time to train re-
placements, he added.
The admiral was relieved of his
command January rs by Vice Ad-
miral Marc A. Mitscher. His home is
in Teco, Miss.

For among us there are all too many

confuse our thinking. There are many
who want US to gripe about gasoline
instead of thinking about the future

For each one Of us, individually and

means the future of MY world.
For unless tomorrow's world is safe
for everyone it isn't going to be safe
for any one.
Determination, intelligence and toll

Each Of us can contribute-must
