WHY IS THE FLEET
AT ALEXANDRIA?
(Special to "Telegraph")
London, Doc. 17.
Mr. Stanley Baldwin, answering in the House of Commons to-day a La bourite question as to why the Flect was concentrated at Alexandria, snid: "It was originally planned that the Fleet should leave Malta on August 28 and visit ports of the Mediter ranean, including Italy. But in view of the hostile press campaign against Britain, the visit to Italy would be in- opportune. Therefore the cruise was confinal to the eastern Mediterranean, Alexandria being the only port cap. able of holding a large number of ships in winter conditions,"
Labourites laughed derisively ut this explanation.-United Press.
