With this settled, toe most Important strategic problem being discussed In backstage navy circles is that of bringing the mighty Pacific fleet from tost ocean into the Atlantic to prevent Nazi seizure of toe islands and to be ready for other major eventualities.

Naturally, the idea of toe fleet withdrawing from toe Pacific is enough to raise the hair on the heads of most people on toe West coast. However, the navy has worked out plan whereby It is confident that the West coast would be In no real danger. The plan is extremely important, because It illustrates the new type of warfare made possible by toe long distance bomber. Also It gives the key to Roosevelts convoy plans. Finally it Illustrates what the Nazis could do to toe United State If the plan were reversed in toe Atlantic. Key to the plan is Hawaii and the Aleutian islands. The admirals are reasonably confident that long distance patrol planes ranging out and from Hawaii to the from the Aleutians to the north Pacific would be sufficient to spot any Japanese ship approaching American waters. And air torpedoes at the type which crippled toe Bismarck could do the rest.
