SUSPECTED OF SPYING
JAPANESE FISHING BOATS WATCH ON AMERICAN FLEET Received Feb. 21, 8.45 p.m. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20. A number of Japanese fishing boats from the Pacific followed the United States fleet into the Caribbean Sea, according to information received by the United States Attorney, Mr. Benjamin Harrison, who is directing an extensive drive against such craft suspected of spying on the fleet and coastal defences. During the past year 80 have been seized. Mr. Harrison observed: "It seems quite significant that these boats are fishing there for the first time. Several have been observed watching the fleet at war games through longrange glasses.”
