 BASE AT SINGAPORE

 With Washington Treaty

The first lord of the ad- miralty, Lieut.. Col. L. F. Amery, in behalf of the government, strongly repudiated these suggestions and re- iterated a statement made previously by him in the house that all the dele gates at Washington clearly under stood that Great Britain was retain ing full freedom of action regarding Singapore which had always been a naval and military station.
