Sir Roger Keyes, M.P. condemning the London Treaty of 1931, declared that Japan attended the Naval Conference with her tongue in her cheek. He added: “I tell you as a naval man that Japan is untouchable. We must have a base at Singapore to protect Australia and New Zealand, and I thank God we shall have it in two years’ time. The battle of the navy must be fought out on th e Downing Street front against the Treasury and against the Government. The air force and the army and , navy must be brought up to a proper defensive standard.”
