ALIENS IN SINGAPORE.
ANTI-ESPIONAGE DRIVE. LONDON, May 18. The 11 Sun-Herald " news agency says that Japanese and Germans who have been rounded up at Singapore are attending police headquarters in connection with a new anti-espionage drive at the naval base. Control of aliens has been transferred from the immigration authorities -to special police, and all aliens must notify their movements. Spies have been particularly busy, and this has resulted in the new Official Secrets Act heavily penalising anyone collecting or passing information useful to foreign Powers or an enemy. Photographing and sketching are banned in prohibited places, and tourists are not allowed to take photographs from ships in the harbour.
