President Roosevelt well realized that his naval demonstration, excitingly described in the Press, might stir up hot antagonism in Cuba. To newshawks he objected to the use of such phrases as "an armada of U. S. warships" in the Caribbean. He explained that, except for the Mississippi and Richmond, all the vessels in Cuban waters were "little bits of things," incapable of landing a force sufficient to occupy the island. He pointed out that Cuba is 700 mi. long, that many ships were needed to patrol its shore line. No force had been put ashore and none would be unless...

As usual Balbo's triad landed first to a deafening frenzy of cheering, whistle-blowing, bell-clanging, cannon-shooting. The General taxied his plane alongside an improvised receiving stand (a derrick platform) where stood Benito Mussolini, Crown Prince Umberto, the King's aviator-cousin the Duke of Aosta, U. S.
