Tokyo, Jan. 15.
The forthcoming visit of the United States cruisers Trenton, Milwaukee and Memphis to Singapore for the opening of the Naval Base is featured in the Japanese press to-day, The "Yomiuri Shimbun," in an editorial, declares that Japan forced to be seriously interested in the completion of the "advance Base of the British Fleet, with Japan as the objective."
The journal considers that the ceremonial opening of the Base may be regarded as a "demonstration against Japan, while the presence of the American squadron conceivably seeks to create the impression that Britain and Ameria have reached an understanding in the Pacific Ocean."
