E ! R. A. F. Carries War To Berlin Gates
Navy Base Leases by Brit
ain Cause Discontent in
Rome.
Rome, Aug. 22. (TP) Italian
newspapers showed discontent
with the plan for the United
States to lease naval bases in
Britain's western hemisphere
possessions by charging today
that the United States Is seeking
to gain territory in the "break
up" of the British empire.
II Rcsto del Carlino, Important
Bologna paper, said the United
States not only is trying to get
control of Canada by offering
to send an army to defend her
but added that unless something
happens in the Pacific America
will try later to get Australia
"Japan rightly is rather alarm
ed at this new development of
American imperialism," II Hesto
said.
To "gain possession" of the
British West Indies, II Resto said.
Washington is ready to "cede
motors, guns' and even some ob
olete destroyers in payment for
a 99-year lease on England's
American islands.
II Popolo di Roma, expressing
the same view, applauded Mex
ico and Guatemala for reported
opposition to the United States'
occupation of naval and air bases
in British Honduras.
Stcfani, official Italian news
agency, said various South
American republics consider the
United States, on the excuse
there, is a threat from Europe,
is "seeking rather cleverly" to
establish hegemony over Central
America and to transform the
whole Caribbean sea into a big
naval base for the North Ameri
can fleet.
Stefani said South American
circles believe that if Washing
ton should realize this program,
the independence of Colombia
and Venezuela would be gravely
lessened. The agency added
that "this prospect is viewed
with little enthusiasm in Bra
zil." Stcfani said proposed conces
sion of air and naval bases by
Britain to the United States was
viewed as "prelude to an his
torical evolution in which the
first chapter was London's doml
nation over the thirteen colonics
of North America," and the last
chapter might be represented by
England's entrance as a domin
ion In an "imperial common
wealth of the United States."
