EASTERN SEA-LANE
SINGAPORE AND SECURITY. INTER-IMPERIAL SHIPPING. DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES. (Received 9 a.m.) LONDON, February 8. Mr. L. C. M. S. Amery, Colonial Secretary, in a speech at Liverpool said: "It is essential that we should take every measure to develop our inter-Imperial shipping, which is the most valuable part of our shipping. If by the method of shipping Britain develops her resources as America has developed far smaller resources, every section of the Empire will develop more amazingly than the United States has developed in the last generation and British shipping will grow proportionately.'' Referring to Singapore he said: "At Singapore we stand on a sea lane that carries all the of the East. Clearly it has a direct influence on the peaceful security of the Empire that we should be in a position to guard that shipping'. If we do so our actiorj is not aimed at any other Power, least of all at our old and faithfull ally, towards whom today our goodwill and friendship are as strong as ever they were.''—Reuter.
