Archibald Hurd, of the "Daily Telegraph " editorial staff, in an article in the "Fortnightly Review," as an outcome of New Zealand's offer of a Dreadnought, suggests an Imperial Flying Squadron of nino Indomitable cruisers, distinct from the British and colonial navies. New Zealand, Australia, Canada, India, and South Africa should each contribute a unit and Britain four units, enabling one vessel to be kept in reserve, and eight always at sea. The annual cost to India and each dominion would be £213,500, covering interest and sinking fund to pay for repairs. The flying squadron should pay frequent visits to the colonies.
