The papers, at the October ex- amination of Army officers set out
the arguments which led to the
choice of Singapore in preference to the development of the Austre
dan base at Sydney as an Imperial hase. The examiners' report says:" -While is may be argued that Sydney has an excellent harbour, needing little development, and that it is in a land of our own people, with superior advantages over Singapore in the way of climate, food supply, and protec Lion from submarines, yet such arguments do not touch the root of the matter. Geographically Sydney is unsuitable. No fleet based on Sydney could prevent the capture of Singapore, involving the disap. pearance of our Eastern trade and the harassing of our trade in the Indian Ocean. Further, Sydney is dependent on long lines of com- munications for supplies of oil and suitable coal for ships, while Singapore is the re-fuelling station between Ceylon and Australia, A flect based on Singapore would pro- tect India, Burma, the Persian oil- fields, and our trade routes to the East.
