Show Strengthening- Pearl Harbor News from the west coast indicates in-dicates that a fully balanced, fast striking force of the United States navy will be detached from the main fleet and stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The change in tactics is not caused by any idea that the British Brit-ish and French fleets constitute a menace to the United States. It is merely the wise precaution of recognizing that Japan might try to take advantage of the situation situat-ion in Europe to attempt something some-thing in the Pacific. This strengthening of our naval forcess inHawaii seems reasonable reason-able and will probabily ' meet with the approval of all Americans Ameri-cans except those who believe that we can stay out of war by passing resolutions and chanting, "We want peace!" |
