LONDON, March. 24.-The House
Of Commons has voted to continue
construction of the great naval base
at Singapore, despite Ramsay Mac
Donalds warning that to do so
would both scrap the naval ratios
agreed upon at the Washington dis
armament conference and provide a
breeding spot for war.
Macdonald made gallant stand
against the Conservative majority.
Col. Reginald Applin, a Conserva-
tive, dragged the United States into
the debate when he declared that
the construction of the Singapore
base was a friendly act toward the
United States, which is in severe
danger in the Philippines"
Sir Archibald Sinclair, a Liberal,
said: 1.-THE argument that Singa-
pore would be very useful to the
United States in the event of war
with Japan constitutes an argument
against constructing it. Such an ar
gument might be used as a magnet
to draw Great Britain into the hos

Official notification that Ruma mia,

was made in an extremely informal
manner by Minister Duca, who called

had decided to send a commission, and
that he already had cabled Minister

Bratiano Not Coming.
According to the foreign Office, Vim
tilla Bratiano, minister of finance
who a month ago proposed to go to
the United States, will not be included
in the commission. According tc
present plans, the commission will not
include any member of the cabinet.
Antonescu, who Is the only possible
member mentioned. is judge of the
Supreme Court and also is a member
of the Mixed Claims Commission for
regulating debts between Austria and
Rumania. He was chairman of the
Rumania Debt Commission to the
United States in 1921, which failed tc
reach an agreement, and also was a
member of similar commissions tC

Local newspapers are taking an un
favorable attitude toward the United

Rumania, though preferring to dis
cuss the question Jointly with other
powers, Is forced into an individual
conference, following the acceptance
by other countries Of the American
plan to discuss 1t separately.

resent the debt as being a war loan
