A SINGAPORE "BARRACKER."

Mr. F. G. Penny, M.P., former ly head of the Singapore broking arm of Fraser & Co., is in the terse language of the Australian sportsman, a "strong "barracker" for the Settlement in which he made his money. In seasON- and out of it, too-he. is hever! weary of wearying the House of Commons with questions and statements relative to Singapore in particular and Malaya in gen- eral.

Mr Penny'e-latest-abullition has an especial interest for Hong- kong. He has suggested to Mr. W. C. Bridgeman, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the advisability of selling the Naval Dock and lands in Hongkong and devoting the proceeds to assist in financing the construction of, the Singa- pore Base. The Speaker, how- ever, interjected with a request för notice of such a question, and so the First Lord was precluded from giving his views and those of the Admiralty on the point.

There are private dockyards quite capable of dealing with emergency naval re- pairs and overhauls, so that the loss of the Naval Dock would not be an irreparable one. There is, however, the economic or commer cial side of the problem. to be faced, and that cannot be decided in a moment either by Mr. F. G. Penny, M.P...or the First Lord of the Admiralty. The question of the Military Lands has for so long Been to the fore as to have be- come almost nauseating as a topic for public discussion. Let us be spared a repetition in regard to the Naval Lands and Dock!

lege authorities had set before them was one with which the Hongkong Government could not but have every sympathy. The greatness of England was largely due to her public schools, and he felt sure that a school built in Hongkong after the English model and run on the lines of a public school could not but have an influence for good in the Eclony.
