EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

SINGAPORE NAVAL BASE.

London, August 14.

Mr. Richard Holt, a director of Alfred Holt and Company and the China Mutual Steamship Company, writing to the Daily News, "as one of a comparatively small section of the community who seem certain of the benefit to Singapore of the proposed naval base scheme." compares the' site of 2,847 acres given by the Straits Settlements Government with the 1914 acres owned by the Mersey Docks and says that ten millions would be a ludicrously inadequate sum to spend thereon. He says the reason primarily urgent in the national scheme is the necessity of providing a graving deck capable of taking the bulged battleship. He says, also that the Gladstone graving dock at Liverpool, which is similarly capable, cost half a million and estimates that a million, and a half will be be needed to meet the cost for Singapore. He concludes therefrom that preparations are being made for much more than the ostensible scheme.

PACIFIC PEACE.

Melbourne, August 14...

At the opening sitting of the Pan-Pacific Science, Congress the speakers were agreed on the urgent need for co-operation in facing the great problems common to the Pacific nations." One Japanese delegate hoped that the Congress would pave the way for per STEAM LAUNCH POX SALE manent peace in Pacific countries and the whole world.
