Islands bases and the British loan debate in US Senate

US authorities have long pressed for outright American purchase or long term lease of key bases, while Britain and its dominions resist. The piece cites Manus Island as an example where American recapture and fortification cost about 300 million, and argues future peace requires permanent American responsibility and use of these bases.
