EXCITING COMPETITION
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT
TOKIO, Nov. 8. The announcement that- the British Government has revived the question of the Singapore base, is widely discussed in the papers, nearly ‘ all of which regard it as inevitable. The Asalii Shimbun, AvhiJe- expressing the opinion that the construction of the base may lose much of its former significance in view the. the probability of a second disarmament conference, declares that, if constructed, it is hound to complicate the situation in the Far East, as Japan would be compelled to join in such'a conference with reservations. -
The Yomiuri Shimbun says the advent of the Conservatives to power draws the attention of Japan to defence problems in the Far East, while the Chmvo Shimbun, though admitting that the fortification of- Singapore does not concern other nations, is of opinion that such a plan would nullify the Washington -.Convention, and excite competition in armaments.
