WARLIKE SENATOR
A SEIZURE OF ISLANDS URGED IN CO-OPERATION WITH BRITAIN. ACTION AGAINST JAPANESE & NAZIS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyrighti (Received This Day, 9.45 a.m.) WASHINGTON-. May G. Senator Pepper, in a speech prepared for delivery to the Senate, demanded that the United States “get tough" and occupy with Britain such strategic points as Dakar, the Azores, the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, Greenland Iceland and Singapore, and also points in the Far East, in order to “shut up the Japanese Navy in its own lair. ’ “A few American pilots with a few American bombing planes," Senator Pepper declared, “can make a shambles of Tokio." He advocated that the United States abandon all neutrality frills and send ships wherever international law permits and, if the Axis submarines interfere, “blow them from the water as fast as we can.”
