At the same lime, the president asked for $8,100,000 for expansion of naval facilities und bombproof shelters for Tutuila, Samoa.

Informed sources said it was the first time in history that any military development had been proposed for Samoa, which is located in the South Pacific in a direct line between Hawaii and Australia. With one ol the finest harbors in the South Pacific, Samoa is under a naval governor but only a skeleton administrative organization has been maintained there. Congress refuseo at the last two sessions to appropriate funds for improvement tne harbor at Guam afrer critics contended it was the first step toward fortification of the Island, which they said was a needless affront to Japan. Chairman vinson cp-Ga of the house naval committee predicted however, there would be "no trouble" this year In getting the appropriation approved.

Meanwhile Roosevelt. gave Rear Admiral Emory S. (Jerry) Land, re. tired, the task of providing "expeditious and effective" maritime deliveries of defense products. Land, the chairman of the maritime commission, also, was chosen to advise the president on such subjects as Britain's desire for more shipping, and on the acquisition of ships to carry Unitec States defense articles and to act naval auxiliaries.

Roosevelt, in a letter to Land further informed him that he would be expected to prepare recommendations concerning ol additional tonnage under foreign registry to meet ocean tonnage requirements for national defense."
