It is therefore privet facir just that ch salony or dependenay should pay not only for its awa special land defenre, but also for part of the cost of the dest; and this view is actually ourried put in the case of the larger colonies, most of the Aulaan oolonies, for instance, not only mying for all their land forces, but also contri. bating to the cost of ships to supplement the Imperial Navy, and to be employed exclusivaly in Australaaan waters. Similarly, India not only pays for the troops which garrison her frontiers and keep peace throughout her pro vinoer, but also in part defrays the cost of the Indian squadron; and it can hardly be contended that the train of reasoning dues not apply to: Caplsa, pocially when the understanding upon which Coylon was detached from.
