Will Explains Why Fleet Left Pacific
HOLLYWOOD Calif April 3 The whole American fleet Jefe the Pacific today had to be away around on the Atlantic side by the time war broke out to Japan and Busate. Eastern seacoast congressmen demand the sailors spend some wages in towns while western ones want the same. The government ought to let each town figure out how much the navy spends there then let the government pay it. But let it be done with the understanding that politicians and chambers of commerce have no hold on the fleet and that it can be placed wherever it needed.
