After an agreement with Great Brits for ioint oper- ation of Canton dub both powcrs—-the state on a number of others in the same ocean. American whales-I, traveler , na- val men and explorers were‘:- mong the t visitors to the is- lands. The British Ambassador. Sir Ronald Lindsay. requested that the state Department do this as a preliminary .stev_\ to negotiations between the two countries on the question of sovereignty over the islands. The negotiations may reach the same conclusion as those involving Canton and End- erbury—post.p0nement of a deci- sion cn sovere ty for 50 years and meantime int management. But it is also likely, in view of the number of islands involved, that some will be adjudged American. some British, and the really doubt- ful will come within the compro- mise of joint control. Unnoticed for generations. the dots in the western ocean have increased enormously in import- ance in recent years because of their possible use as civil airplane bases on the route from Callfomla to Australia and New Zealand. Dr. S. Whittemore Bogars, geog- rapher of the state Department, is preparing most of the data for submission to the British. The nroblem is complicated by the fact that in some cases an ‘‘island“ which bears one name on the map actually may be two or three is- lands. An unofficial prediction is that the number will be at least several dozen. They are located principally in the Phoenix group (which includes Canton and En- de bury) near the equator. and the Ella group not far away. other groups likely to he mentioned are the Gilbert and Fill.
