Wants Improvement In the
Ocean Mail Service.

II call your especial attention to the I'm
satisfactory condition Of our foreign mai,
service, which, because of the I,.E ~
American steamship lines Is now lorp.lv
done through fore gn lines, and which,
particularly so far as South and Central
America are concerned. is done in a man
ner which constitutes a serious barrier
to the extensions of our commerce.
THE time has come. in my iudrmcn,
10 SET 10 work seriously to make our
ocean mail service currespond wow,
closely with our recent commercial and
political development. a beginning w.,
made by the % can mail act of March
1891. but even at that time the a,t w,,

ticulars. Since that time events lava
moved rapidly in our history. We h,r.

uniting at the lsihmus the waters Of Nv.
Atlantic and the Pacific. To a rrr,,or

the tradition of our past AS the nr,t
step in that direction. and the stem ,nost

free from successful criticism of lie nri,,
cipe and purpose. 1t was based on thon
ries Of the obligations Of a great mari.
time nation undisputcd in our own land
and followed by other nations since W.
beginning or steam navigation. Briefly
'hose incomes are. that it Is the duty OF
trst-class power so far as practicahIa
to carry its ocean malls under its on,,,

Greater Elasticity In

The president quotes extensively from
his last message in dealing with the 4;

says:

Of Immediate attention to this matter

made for an emergency currency. The
rGrnCy issue should, Of course, he

on conditions carefully prescribed by the
government. Such emergency issue must
be based on adequate securities approved
by the government. and must be issued
under heavy tax. This would permit
for 1t was urgent while securing it's re-
tirement as the demand fell off. 1t Is
worth investigating to determine whether
officers and directors of national banks
should ever be allowed to loan to them
selves. Trust companies should be sub
jert to the same supervision as banks;
Legislation to this effect should be en-
acted for the District of Columbia and
tho territories
yet we must also remember that even
the Wscst legislation on the subject can
only accomplish a certain amount. No
Legislation can by any possibility guar
antee the business community against the
results Of speculative folly any more than
it can guarantee an individual against the
results Of his extravaga ice. When an in
dividual mortgages his house to buy an
automobile he invites disastSr; and when
