itewart Says— k
Uncle Sam Should
Be Careful Which
Islands He Accepts
A I
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Columnist
SOME OF the island bases that
Uncle Sam Is acquiring or may yet
acquire from Britain, in connection
with his plan to help John Bull
win the war,
S, undoubtedly are
well worth our
;=§ having. To our I
§| acquisition of a
few of these
bases, however,
£ there are cer

them are trying
*=---------- --- to point
m-J pvj fc ■.■■■■d. out
r:- -■ that should

Falkland Islands
lands to lead us
into overeating ourselves on that
particular diet,
For example, reports are current
that th « British intend to hand
over t0 U! \ the Falk!tuld insular
group In , the southern Atlantic.
The Buenos __ Aires .. newspaper, No
ticlas G raflcas, already has pub
lished this rumor, and it immedi- I
ately is evident that its readers
don’t like the idea a bit.
Anyone who’s acquainted with
the little archipelago’s history can
readily -see why.
They’re nice islands, with a first- . j
rate harbor at Port Stanley,
They’re adapted pretty to sviit flat, aviation’s therefore needs. well j I
Lying about 250 miles off the Ar- \
gentine coast, they have consider
able naval strategic value in
their own part of the world.
But are they a possession that
Britain has any right to deliver
to us?
Claimed by Argentina
Originally, under the name of j i
the Malvinas isles, they belonged
to Spain. When the Argentines '
cut
loose from their parent country, i
they their claimed republic. the group as part of j i
! new They hadn’t the
facilities then, though, to police it
! effectively. It became a pirate I
stronghold. The pirates pestered
British shipping so much that, in
1833, an English war fleet swooped
down, and cleaned proclaimed out yhe the sea maraud- j j
j ers, isles to be
j John Bull’s. He’s kept them ever !
since. The Argentines couldn’t do
anything about it, but they always
insisted that they’d been robbed—
by Britain. j
Upon Uncle Sam’s entrance Into
World war No. 1 President Wilson, j
desiring to give an appearance of
Pan-American solidarity, brought
strong pressure upon join! th^ Latin j
| American countries to thein the Al- |
\ lied line-up. Most of did—
not nominally, to the extent of fighting, but ,
which was all :sident j
Wilson desired.
The Argentines, however, said
''If Britain will give us back oui
Malvinas (or Falkland) islands
we’lt join—not otherwise " Britair
wouldn't do it; so Argentine
j stayed pro-German neutral throughout and more or less
I
Now, if we get the Malvinas is
lands all this Argentine resent
ment inevitably will be turned in
our direction, shooting at least one
big, bad hole through our so-much
desired western hemispherical uni
fication—for Argentina’s a majoi
consideration in our new world
! neighborhood
And Singapore?—just off the
southern end of the Malay penin
sula.
The British don’t, indeed, pro
pose to cede Singapore to us. but
they’d tremendously like to have
us make ourselves thoroughly at
home at their powerful naval base
there. And for obvious reasons;
our men-o’-war would take care of
their interests throughout that
area on the globe, leaving their
fleet free to operate elsewhere—
where it’s urgently needed, heaven
knows.
Philippines a Liability
Well. I never talked with a Unit
ed States naval officer who didn’t
say he considered the Philippines
an unqualified strategic liability to
us. They’re so far off Hawaii, ex
perts agree, is all right. That's
rather nearer to our Pacific coast
than it is to Japan It’s an invalu
able Yankee outpost. But the Phil
ippines, clear across the Pacific,
are in the Japs’ very dooryard; it
would be a terrible job to defend
'em at such long range.
And Singapore’s a couple of
thousand miles farther yet.
If we take on that assignment, j
we become, as I had occasion to
quote Senator Arthur Capper the j
other day, “the world’s police
man.”
Critics of our island-acquiring
tendency find no fault with our as
similation of Caribbean lagoons or
of Newfoundland or even Green
land, if available, They do argue
that we’d be stretching out our
neck injudiciously in the direction
of Singapore and that we’d be
making a serious mistake if we
were to grab the Malvinas (ur
Falkland) morsel from Argentina.
They add that there probably are
>ther islets that we’d be Just as,
well without.
