Singapore, July 23, Any hostile act against Singapore or any other country in the Pacific would be regarded as a hostile move against the United States. said Mr. Ralph Ingersoll, publisher of the New York evening vapor "PIN" when he arrived here by air yesterday. "I doubt whether America would let anyone except herself move into Singapore," he added.
Describing President Roosevelt's latest message to Congress—asking for an extension of army service—- as "a step nearer the inevitable," Mr. Ingersoll declared that "America will do everything to prevent a Hitler vietory."= Reuter,
