...took 17 years to build and cost $170,000,000, lies along the northern shore of Singapore Island on the far side of the island from the city but on the near side for the Japs- just across the Strait from Johore. By last week, it was already growing worthless as a base to British and American ships in the Far East. But if it is valueless to them, the British want it to remain valueless...

It had to do with the fact that hitherto gorceixite has been found only in Brazil, whose bulge, if slid eastward around the globe, would fit neatly into the Gulf of Guinea, against the shores of Sierre Leone and the Gold Coast...
