AMERICAN CRUISER
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.
CALLING AT SINGAPORE REPERCUSSIONS IN EAST
Rec. 5.5 p.m. Washington, Sept. 23. The Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, said he had no confirmation officially that the United States cruiser Augusta might go to Singapore for overhaul, saying that if the report was true it was common custom and courtesy among the nations to permit a vessel to enter the nearest dry dock if repairs were urgently required. Other quarters, however, suggested that dry docking of the Augusta at Singapore might have tremendous repercussions, because it would be the first official use of Singapore for servicing an American vessel.
