U. S. Takes Over
Post in Iceland
Washington. — United States
naval forces landed in Iceland
yesterday to relieve the British
■ defenders of that island, and
President Roosevelt issued sweep
ing orders to the Atlantic fleet
to “insure the safety of communi
cations’ between the United
States and all “strategic out-
poets.’’
Whether this order, applying
to vast stretches of the Atlantic,
meant that the navy would go
Into action against any German
submarine, surface raider or war
plane found near the line of com
munications was not stated, and
all officials declined to elaborate
on the President’s wording.
Mr. Roosevelt, in a special mes
sage to Congress disclosing that
the United States was occupying
Iceland, said the United States
“cannot permit the occupation by
Germany of strate.aic outpo.sts in
the .‘Vtantic to be used as a;r or
naval bases for eventual attack
against t h e Western Hemis
phere.'’
He also said it was •'impera-

the Americas and tho.se sHatcgic
*outr»«sts. the safety of which this
country regards as essential ^ to
its national security, and which it
must therefore defend, slinli ic-
