London, March sth Whirlpools of re- | rort and comment indicate the force | of the struggle within the Admiralty, between Naval Lords and the Labour | Government, over the Singapore naval | pase proposal.

They work for the Navy | and still in the public mind the Navy, | is England, acd when the Sea Lords | s and together for a definite policy, | which they consider essential. they have | a'most invarizbly tad their way. Wien | Labour first took ofiice the Sea Lords | made it clear that they would not work | under Scertain politicians and they had their way. Now, headed by Admiral | Beatty, they threaten resignation if the Government abandon the Singapore | scheme. The Daily !Jerald, which is | the oificial orean of the Labour Party, | issues a blunt warniaz teday to Admiral | Beatty that he must put an end to Admi- ralty propoganda eontrary to govern- ment policy and mages the direct state- ment that Admiral Beatty and the rest of the Naval Lords<re 'h eatening to re- so if their policy is turned down. The House is preparing for a debate on the question next week during the paval es- timates. If the Government is deter- mined to givet p the Singapore idea d fin- | itely. they ean probably carry their point in the House, with Liberal support, but their strategists fear the effeet upon pub- liec opinion of an Admiralty revolt head- ad by so popular a figure as Admiral Beai- tv. The probable outcome is that the proposed construction will be shelved for the present, on financial grounds and the guestion of general policy in the matter will be left in abeyance.
