It is believed ihat the navy’s new mosquito fleet will be based here. Senator Charles O. Andrews will con- sult with navy officials this week on the question of es- tablishing naval district headquarters and the mos- quito fleet in south Florida, which is a most strategic lo- cation in relation to the mewly acquired bases in the West Indies.

It may have considerable effect on the United States. Just why the Japanese sudd: ly decided to abrogate @ tre which has proved so workable for nearly 30 years is something of a mystery. In the official notification, the Japanese said the seal hegd that bases at the Pribilof Islands, just inside the fringe of .the Aileu- tians, has got so large that it is @ menace to Japanese fisheries. Government fishery experts brand this as bunk. pointing out that migrations of the Pribilof seals do not carry them into Jap- anese waters. But if this were so, the ques- tion that immediately follows is how does Japan plan to remove this menace?
