SINGAPORE NAVAL BASE.

London, March 7.

Belief is now general that the Government will not proceed with the Singapore Naval Base scheme, though the tendency in some quarters is to believe that the project is not so much abandoned, as sbered

The Chronicle political correspondent says that the Cabinet'a attitude is that no active support can be given to the scheme at present, on the ground that decisive measures are not called for, and the position has resolved itself into a negative attitude of marking time.

Anyhow. the public announcement of the Cabinet's decision can- be expected early next week, when the exchanges of opinion with the Dominions are concluded. Meanwhile, the Liberal and Labour) opponents of the scheme, who regard it as good as dead, are express- ing deep satisfaction. It is understood that Lord Chelmsford favours the project, and stipulated before going into the Cabinet that it should be thoroughly examined on its merits, apart from Labour pledges against it-Reuter,

In the House of Commons, Major Sir Morrison Bell gave notice to ask the Prime Minister whether since the Government assumed office there had been any further exchange of views with the Dominions concerned, with regard to the construction of the Singa- pore dock, and whether he proposes to submit these communications to the House of Commons.-Reuter.

The Executive threaten a general lockout. The Federation were sesterday unsuccessful in an effort to induce Southampton to end the strike, whereupon the executives of unions, after a protracted con- ference, appointed a deputation to proceed to Carlisle immediately with the object of persuading the masters to postpone the lockout.
