A paragraph in a recent issue of the Sing apore Free Press gives the following informa tion and comment on the position: "The Italian cruiser Marco Polo arrived on Tues day afternoon from Hongkong and she will leave this afternoon for home, her place on the Far East station being taken by the Vesuvio. It is somewhat significant and also an indication that Sabang is getting a formidable rival to Singapore that the Marco Polo will coal there on her way to Colombo. It is certainly curious that a warship should deliberately indicate its preference for Sabang, when she bad to call at the important port in the South, and cannot be suggested that in patronising the Dutch port she could have been influenced by motives of self-interest, national con- siderations or neighbourliness. "The only rational view to take is that the commander of the Italian warship bad received reports concerning Sabang as a coaling station company will be 12,000,000 yen, made up which induced him to give Singapore the as follows:-100,000 yen, the capital of the go by."
