By OTTO JANSSEN

United Press Staff Correspondent

T

According to the Navy Department's official announcement, the purpose of the visit is to promote goodwill and give the naval ollicers of the other American republics a chance to observe the development of United States naval activitics.

However, informed - quartors believe the question of inter- American fleet co-operation, which would be of primary im- portance in the event of attack against virtually any part of the hemisphere, will not be over- looked.
