Because of doubts regarding the Army’s capabilities in the Philippines, President Roosevelt has ordered that all construction on the proposed naval base at Subic Bay be halted until proper study is made into whether the Bay can be properly defended by land. If Subic Bay is not sufficiently defensible, the Joint Board is to give further consideration towards using Manila Bay as the location for the base.
