...American's President Juan Terry Trippe, California's Governor Frank Finley Merriam, Hawaii's Governor Joseph Boyd Poindexter, Senator William Gibbs McAdoo, the Philippine's President Manuel Quezon, China Clipper's Captain Musick, and the personified "Voices" of Pan American bases at Honolulu, Midway, Wake, Guam, Manila. By a complicated use of short wave, all these scattered personalities chimed in with appropriate sentiments which were broadcast over a nationwide hookup.

Next step was to build bases. For this, Pan American last March chartered the 4,653-ton S. S. North Haven, sent her on a three-month expedition at a cost of $2,000,000 to establish airports at Midway, Wake and Guam.
