SINGAPORE CEREMONY
FLOATING DOCK OPENED BY GOVERNOR CHRISTENING OR FUNERAL? (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9.5 a.m. SINGAPORE, Wed. At the opening of the floating dock at the naval base, in the presence of a large and representative gathering, the Governor, Sir Hugh Clifford, said they had not been consulted about the future of the Singapore base, and there was some doubt whether the ceremony was a christening or a funeral. But it was not thought probable that a final decision would be reached on this momentous subject Without the rulers of the Malay States being consulted, having regard to the fact that they had contributed £2,000,000.
