out of the question to move the Navy to Singapore-Reuter,
Viscount Jellicoe regrets exceedingly the government's decision, and points out that foremost Naval authorities stated that a modern Heat would be unable to operate without a properly equipped bake; and that for the protection of the portions of the Empire situated in the Pacific and Indian oceana there is no place so suitable as Singapore.

The very existence of the Expire depends on the Navy, and an eminent authority had declared that unless same base like Singa- pore were established. it would be absolutely impossible for the majority of the Empire capital ships to operate east of Suez-Reuior,
