LABOURERS CLAIM HIGHER WAGES IN SINGAPORE · OWING TO RISE IN COST OF LIVING: DISMISSAL BY EMPLOYERS DISAPPROVED
BY THE GOVERNMENT
LONDON, Feb, 1 (Reuter)-Mr. Malcolm Maclonald, Secre- tary for the Colonies, In reply to Mr. Creech Jones (Lab.), in the House of Commons yesterday, said that the rise in the cost of living in Singapore since the outbreak of war provided a genuine " economie basis for the recent claims on behalf of labourers.
There was reason to suspect that subversive elements, un- friendly to this country, were attempting unscrulously to exploit this position. All public authorities and most of the other em- ployers had awarded a cost of living allowance from Nov. 1 last.
