(United Press Association —By Electrio

LONDON, December 10.
The “Daily Herald” says: “Details of a series of raids, and arrests at Singapore have been cabled to London, giving rise to allegations of Japanese espionage. These have>caused a most delicate situation'. The sensation commenced when Nishimura (a leading Japanese, business man in Singapore) dropped dead last week while being questioned at the offices of the Singapore C.I.D. It was revealed that the ’ police possessed documents implicating two Japanese secret intelligence officers who were visiting Singapore. Raids on hotels and Houses followed. Instructions sent from London since have fold the authorities to withhold information from t!(e local press. The situation is the more difficult because twenty-one British warships are now at Singapo v e for manoeuvres to test the defence station.
