GRIM GAME OF HARE AND HOUNDS Great English-Spe gether in a Common Cause 10 CATT L TSP ny Legend Present U.S. Naval and 2 Air Bases >. Future U.S. Bases to Be Leased From Britain Leasing of naval bases from Critain means that the U.S. would be fighting any sea--in the western hemisphere-- on "home grounds". The importance of naval bases distant from home waters lies in the fact that only a navy with easily accessible bases can engage in battle at a place of its own choos- ing. The cruising radius of a battle fleet is limited not by the radius of the capital ships, but of the destroyers which screen the battleships and cruisers. This map shows the bases to be leased from Britain, enabling the U.S. successfully to fight naval engage- ments much nearer to Europe and below South America's "bulge", AALIFAX, only naval base on the Atlantic coast north of Boston, is to be supple- mented by the US. base in Newfoundland.

"Home waters' of the United States navy have been extended by several thousands of square miles under the agreement with Britain by which bases on British possessions were leased in exchange for U.S. destroyers.
