MANUS MAY BECOME BRITISH
NAVAL BASE
Envisaged As The New Singapore In Pacific
London, Oct. 10. Manus Island in the Admiraltys, where the United States spent over $150,000,000 to make a mighty naval base which was the keystone of General MacArthur's advance to the Philippines, will become Britain's "new Singapore" in the Pacific, according to Australian reports reaching London,
A proposal for the development of the Island as one of Australia's main Pacific naval bases will be made to the cabinet soon by the Navy Minister, Mr W. J. Riordan, the Australian News and Informa- tion Bureau reported.
