This can bo met only by tho creation of au Imperial squadron to which Britain and the Dominions will contribute, and which will bo controlled by a special Admiralty Board, the contributors to be represented thereon. • Tho " Chronicle " points out that Canada's interest as n nation demands that she, similarly with America and tho South American States, be able to show her flag by naval visits, whichivm play an important part in improving trade relations with other countries.
