Pearl Harbor Fortifications Drive Returns to Front Lines
The piece argues for large naval appropriations to complete Pearl Harbor fortifications in the Pacific. It notes President Wilson’s stance, the need for an effective outpost, and varied opinions in Congress on funding and timing. Hanapepe Bay on Kauai is urged as the best harbor in the island chain for anticipated sugar tonnage and rail access, with emphasis on avoiding delay for strategic defense and shipping needs.
