is believed that Great Britain and South Africa intend to share the east of the Capetown base,
Plans for the construction of the bas include:

2. The enlargement of the exisi. ing naval establishment in Cape towa;
3. The fortification of Saldanha Hay, which would eventually be converted into a senplane base, Preliminary work has already been started to make Capetown harbour one of the world's largest
One of the recent developments is. the commenecment of construction of a £6,000,000 graving dock, which would accommodate any warship in the world.........Evited Press,
