Anglo-American Co-Operation
In Far East
SINGAPORE, JAN. 29.
IN THE WORLD: WAR WHICH SO MANY GLOOMILY PROPHESY AS JUST AROUND THE COR- NER, THE PHILIPPINES WOULD SCARCELY BE ABLE TO KEEP NEUTRAL, THE "SINGAPORE FREE PRESS” SAID TO-DAY IN AN EDITORIAL COMMENTING UPON THE RECENT, VISIT OF PAUL V. MCNUTT, U. S. HIGH COMMISSIONER
Το THE PHILIPPINES.
*The indication to-day is that Anglo-American co-operation in the diplomatic sphere has become closer than ever before, and this is nowhere more true than in pro- blems affecting the Fast East," the newspaper said.
CLOSE FRIENDSHIP
"The way in which American war- ships took the place of those British vessels which were moved from the China station to the Mediterranean, and the frequent exchange of visits between British and American war- ships at Manila, Singapore, and Hong Kong is another indication, if not of the existence of this under- standing, at least of the very close friendship, which exists between the two countries.
"Mr. McNutt was welcome for many reasons, but not least of all because in his short stay here he was able to see something of the de- fence preparationa on the island and to gain fresh insight into Bri- tish colonial policy in Malaya."
The "Free Press' praised the progress of the Philippines Com- monwealth in self-government, but lamented the poor communications linking the Philippines and Malaya.
PHILIPPINES PART
"Despite the importance of Mani- la as one of the leading ports of the Orient, and the Philippine Com- monwealth must play in events of the future in the East, communi- cations between Singapore and Manila: are · far from good," 'the "Free Press" added. "It should be more widely known that the Fili pinos are making a very successful job of the independence so far granted to them. Mr. McNutt was the more welcome because we in Malaya are not in close, touch with the Philippines' great experiment in colonial self-government."?
