GUAM ISLAND
NAVAL BASE DEVELOPMENT REPORT. PRESIDENT’S DISCLAIMER. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. WASHINGTON, January 19. Despite President Roosevelt’s disclaimer that he had approved the proposed 5.000,000-dollar expenditure on the fortification of Guam Island, a naval bases measure was introduced into Congress today, avowedly “with the Administration's approval.” A White House spokesman asserted that a decision concerning fortifying Guam could not be guided by the advice of admirals, since the question was primarily political, and could be best approached through negotiations with Japan.
