' DAILY TELEGRAPH'S' COMMENT LONDON, January 24. Emphasising the weakness of Britain’s naval forces in the Pacific and the Far East, the ‘ Daily Telegraph,’ in a leader, recalls that both the United States and Japan have claimed a free hand after the expiry of the Washington Treaty, which reduced the British Navy to the one-Power standard. It adds: “ The forward naval policy of America and Japan need not be injurious to the interests of the British Empire, but it is clear that the time has come for careful reconsideration of what is essential at Singapore to Imperial defence.”
