MARCH
1924,
terred
from
taking
sdvantage
of
any

movement
in the
direciion
of
disarma-
|
ment
and would
welcome

London,
March
sth
Whirlpools of re-
|
rort
and
comment
indicate
the
force
|
of
the
struggle
within
the
Admiralty,
between
Naval
Lords
and
the
Labour
|
Government,
over
the
Singapore
naval
|
pase
proposal.
The
Sea
Loyids
do
not
|
play
politics.
They
work
for the
Navy
|
and
still
in
the
public
mind
the Navy,
|
is
England,
acd
when
the
Sea
Lords
|
s and
together
for
a
definite
policy,
|
which they consider
essential.
they have
|
a'most
invarizbly
tad
their way.
Wien
|
Labour first took
ofiice
the
Sea
Lords
|
made
it clear
that
they
would
not work
|
under
Scertain
politicians
and
they
had
their
way.
Now,
headed
by
Admiral |
Beatty,
they
threaten
resignation
if the
Government
abandon
the
Singapore
|
scheme.
The
Daily
!Jerald,
which
is |
the oificial
orean
of
the
Labour
Party,
|
issues
a
blunt warniaz
teday
to Admiral
|
Beatty
that
he
must
put
an
end
to Admi-
ralty
propoganda
eontrary
to
govern-
ment
policy and
mages
the direct
state-
ment
that Admiral
Beatty
and
the
rest
of
the
Naval Lords<re
'h eatening
to
re-
so
if their policy is
turned
down.
The
House
is preparing
for a
debate
on the
question
next week
during the paval
es-
timates.
If
the
Government
is
deter-
mined
to givet p the Singapore
idea d fin-
|
itely. they
ean probably
carry
their point
in the
House,
with Liberal
support,
but
their strategists
fear
the effeet
upon
pub-
liec
opinion of
an Admiralty revolt head-
ad by
so popular a figure as Admiral Beai-
tv.
The
probable
outcome
is
that
the
proposed
construction
will be shelved
for
the present,
on financial
grounds and the
guestion
of general
policy in the matter
will be left in abeyance.
