A BIG TASK
AMERICAN NEUTRALITY PATROL ON ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC COASTS. UNITED STATES VIEWS. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day. 12.15 p.m.) NEW YORK. September 28. Tim “New York Times” Washing! on correspondent states that the factors influencing the United States in backing the Latin American republic’s 300 miles sea zone plan include a desire to protect the new world from surprise air attacks. Such attacks cannot be expected at present, but officials fool that arrangements should be made for meeting a possible contingency.
Another factor is the desire to assure that coastwise neutral shipping should not be attacked by belligerent sea raiders. Excluding gunboats, the South American republics have seventy war craft available for patrolling 8,500 miles of the Atlantic and 5,300 miles of the Pacific sea coast. It is likely that the United States eventually will be required to supply aircraft and other aid for a neutrality patrol.
