Warships Will Not Again Be Scrapped Plan to build Pacific bases to secure postwar Navy
Washington March 7 Rep Magnuson says the House Naval Subcommittee has a master plan to secure stepping stone island bases in the Pacific for commercial trade and a large fleet. He cites cooperation from State Department and Navy and argues we will take needed bases, not scrap ships again, to deter future aggression and ensure postwar rights. He backs disarming Japan but emphasizes maintaining power with bases to deter future threats. He notes sovereignty disputes on some islands and private ownership issues, and recalls his naval service and view that peacetime planning must proceed now. Secretary Knox supports base acquisition to disarm Japan at sea and maintain control of sufficient Pacific bases for long-term defense.

World War III warned if West and Russia fail to agree
President Henry A Wallace warned that World War No 3 is inevitable unless Western democracies and Russia reach a satisfactory understanding before the end of the current conflict. He said failure to rearm Russia or to provide employment after the war could trigger future hostilities, and warned of possible Russian German collusion without close U S Russia ties. Leaders from Protestant dominations attended a five day conference on postwar world order at Ohio Wesleyan University. In New York stock markets, some declines appeared but many officials seemed weary after steady gains.
