Mackenzie King, who is now in London, has outlined plans to the British authorities for enlarging Canada's fleet and developing a strong air force. It is a strictly national scheme, which calls for a possible enlargement of coastal armaments, submarines, fast destroyers, and possibly a few cruisers, but no battleships. '•
