Times Foreign Editor { WASHINGTON, April 11.—Just as it has done in the case of Greenland the United States may eventually find it necessary to take the Azores and Cape Verde Islands, belonging to Portugal, under its temporary protection. This would be done only with Portugal’s consent, and | then not unless and until Germany forced Spain and Portugal into her orbit as she has done or is doing with Hungary, u-| mania, Bulgara, Jugoslavia and Greece.
