BRITISH BASE IN MIDDLE EAST
Development of Kenya Likely
LONDON, Sept. 13
The Nairobi correspondent of “The Times” says 300 Royal Engineers from Egypt arrived in Kenya to prepare the ground for the arrival of the military stores being evacuated from India and Egypt, and a base depot is being got ready. i Rail and road projects are also to be put in hand to improve communications between Nairobi and Mombasa, and a water pipeline is to be laid. It is stated that the British Government has decided to use East Africa as a reception base for evacuated stores, but lias made no decision on the much rumoured use of East Africa as the new Middle East base. Nevertheless it is widely believed that Kenya will be the new base and that the decision to build large depots for stores is a step in that direction.
