"NORTH TERRACE, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA" unused sepia-tone real photo postcard with glossy finish & low contrast, back states 'Issued by the Government of the Commonwealth of / Australia to the Officers and Men of the American Fleet / July - August 1925', tiny album adherence near one back corner, good edges. Historical note: After World War I, a treaty among the 3 major naval powers  left the United States without bases in the Western Pacific region--unlike the other powers. Great Britain & Japan. Concern about the relative proximity of Japanese bases on their home islands (roughly 1/5 the distance of Pearl Harbor) caused the US to project its power & maintain a presence
in the region by using the only option it had available
--cruises in force during the 1920's. Australia, understandably among the nervous about the nearby Japanese, thus welcomed the US naval visits, as this postcard attests. $6.00 sh NEW / NOV / OPKOMEND
