ANXIETY AT THE
ADMIRALTY.
London, Mar. 16,
The Admiralty is growing 'anxious about the construction if the Singapore Base, where he state of affairs is not at ali satisfactory. The problem is now engaging the earnest atten- tion of the First Lord of the Admiralty.
This statement was made In the Hour of Commons to-day by Cap- inn D. Evan Wallace, the Civil Lord of the Admiralty, in the rourse of debate on the Navy Estimates.
Jackson Contract Not Enough. Captain Wallace explained that although £7,700,000 appeared' In

the Estimates, the Government's present commitments were 24,036,- ,000 to the contractors, Sir T. Jackson, Limited, but if only the work under the Jackson contract was completed there would be no satisfactory naval bane.
The contractors were making excellent progress' and there was no
reason to suppose that the firm's work would not be finished when it was due, namely, in 1936.
Admiralty Anxiety.
The financial stringency of the past few years had, however, placed us in such a position that we had not got the plans made for the construcion of a fully equipped and up-to-date Ease it Singapore.
Hence, sald Captain Wallace, the Admiralty's anxiety.--Beuter.
