SPECIAL SERVICE SQUADRON. REASONS FOR THE CRUISE. (Received 2.30 p.m..) MELBOURNE, this day. Early next month a seaplane will leave on a reconnoitring expedition round the Commonwealth to locate suitable sites for seaplane and heavy fuel bases. This is regarded a\_& lending special significance to the emphatic advocacy by Admiral Sir F. Field of the need for Australian coastal bases and depots- It is now said there is a strong belief the visit of the special service squadron was planned with a more practical object than mere sight-seeing.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
