U.S. Navy Relieves Britain in East
TOKIO DISCOVERS MORE “SECRET” MOVES LONDON, April 25. The Tokio newspaper Nichi Nichi Shim bun 10-day gives prominence to a dispatch from its Shanghai correspondent claiming that Britain has turned over to the United States Fleet all the duties of patrolling British waters in the Fa-r East to enable British naval units at Hongkong and Singapore to rush to British home waters and the Eastern Mediterranean. The dispatch claims that the recent activities of the United States Fleet substantiate this move, asserting, inter alia, that the United States warships which recently made goodwill visits to Australia were speeding to Singapore and that six United States submarines were already reported to be patrolling the waters around Malaya.
