SUN 2 JUN 1940
Chief of Naval Operations (Admiral Harold R. Stark) sends memorandum to President Roosevelt that addresses options concerning the situation in South America; of those proposed, the President believes that the only solution lies in dispatching one additional 8-inch gun cruiser to South America, continuing destroyer shakedown cruises to South American waters, and utilizing ships already in the Atlantic Squadron, thus not weakening the fleet in the Pacific.
U.S. steamship President Roosevelt departs Galway, Ireland, with 720 American citizens fleeing European war zone.
Passenger liner Manhattan departs Genoa, Italy, the same day with 1,905 passengers.
