REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Proposed Improvements of the United
 States Steel Corporation.

Columbus, Ga, April 14-(Special.)-T Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in it's regular weekly issue:
 Significant of the generally improv- ing conditions is the decision reached by the United States Steel corporation to make extensive Improvements in its prop erty in Alabama. President W. E. Corey and other officials of the company have just made a thorough inspection of the field and as a result the making of cost ly improvements on several properties in the Birmingham and Gadsden districts has been decided upon, official announce ment being made of the various expendi- lures that are to be made.
 During the week the Atlanta and Car olna Railway company was granted per- mission by the Georgia railroad commits sion to issue s6,ooo,O0Q of bonds. and this means that the work of constructing the line of electric railway between Atlanta and Augusta will soon begin. The com mission also granted permission to the Crimson Railroad company to issue $2,5O0,- eco of bonds for construction purposes, and the further construction of this east Georgia railway line will continue. Pro- moters of the Pensacola and Northeast ern railway, projected from Pensacola, Fla, to Andalusa, Ala, state that the company has arranged for the placing of sufficient bonds to enable it to begin

battleships. To carry out this policy Is but to act in the spirit of George Wash ington, is but to continue the policies which he outlined when he said, Observe good faith and justice towards all nations, cultivate peace and harmony with all.
 Nothing is more essential than~that permanent, inveterate antiquities against particular nations and passionate attach ments for others should be excluded and that in place of them just and amcable feelings toward all should be cultivated. I cannot recommend to your notice meas ures for the fulnllment of our duties to the rest of the world without again press ing upon you the necessity of placing ourselves in condition of complete de- fense of exacting from them the fulfill ment of their duties toward us.
 "The United States ought not to indulge a persuasion that contrary to the order of human events they Wal forever keep at a distance those painful appeals to arms with which the history of every other nation abounds. There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld if not absolutely lost by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it. if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instru ments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.

wrong in all or in any of these contro- versies. l am merely referring to the loss Of life. It is possibly a conservative state ment to say that within the last 12 years, at periods of profound peace and not as the result of war, massacres and butch cries have occurred In which more lives of men, women and children have been lost than in any single great war since the close of the Napoleon struggles To any public man who knows of the com plaints continually made to the state de= partment there is an element of grim tragedy in the claim that the time has gone by when weak nations or people can be op- pressed by those who are stronger with out arousing effective protests from other strong interests Even this, fresh in the mind of any thinking man, shows that neither arbitration nor any other devica can as yet be invoked to prevent the graves and most terrible wrongdoing to people, who are either few in numbers or who. if numerous, have lost the first and most important of a nations vitures, tue capacity for self-defense.
 No Reason To Fear.
 "When d nation is so happily situated as ours, that is, when 1t has no reason to fear or be feared by it's land neigh bors, the fleet is all the more necessary for the preservation of peace. Great Britain has been saved by its fleet from the necessity of facing one of the two alternatives of submission to conquest by foreign power or of itself becoming great military power. The United States can hope for permanent career of peace on only one condition, and that is on con- dition of building and maintaining a first class navy and steps should be taken toward that end at this time by provid- ing for the building of four additional battleships.
 q earnestly wish that the Congress would pass the measures for which. have asked for strengthening and render ing more efficient the army as well as the navy, all of these measures as anect- ing every branch and detail of both serv- ices are sorely needed, and 1t would be the part of far-sighted wisdom to enact them all into laws, but the most vital and immediate need is that of the four

 .~~~~e~c~~~-~~~~~~ ~-~--~~~~~-~~~cS>~~"~ the stage when proud nation, jealous of it's honor and conscious of it's great mis- sion in the world can be content to rely for peace upon the forebearance of other powers. It would be equally foolish to rely upon each of them possessing at all times and under all circumstances and provocations an altruistic regard for the rights of others. Those who hold this view are blind indeed to all that has gone before their eyes in the world at large. They are blind as to what has happened In China, in Turkey, in the Spanish pos sessions, in Central and South Africa dur ing the last dozen years.
 Fate of China.
 For centuries China has cultivated the very spirit which our peace-at-any- price men wish this country to adopt For centuries China has refused to pro- vide military forces and has treated the career of the soldier as inferior in honor and regard to the career of the merchant or the man of letters. There has never been so large an empire which for so long a time has so resolutely proceeded on the theory of doing away with what is called 'militarism.'
 ''Whether the result has been happy in internal affairs, l need not discuss. All the advanced reformers and far-sghted patriots in the Chinese empire are at present seeking, l may add, without hearty good will for a radical reform of international affairs. In external affairs the policy has resulted in various other nations now holding large portions of Chinese territory, while there, is a very acute fear in China lest the empire, be- cause of it's defenselessness, be exposed to absolute dismemberment and its we'll Wishers are able to help it only in a small measure, because no nation can help any other unless that other can help itself.
 Pleas For Assistance.
 The state department is continually applied to to interfere on behalf of people and nationalites who insist that they are suffering from oppression, now Jews in one country, now Christians in another, now black men said to be oppressed by white men in Africa. Armenians, Films. Poles, representatives of all, appeal at times to this government All of this op pression is alleged to exist in time of pro- found peace and frequently, although by no means always, it Is alleged to occur at the hands of people who are not very formidable In a military sense. In some cases the accusations of oppression and wrongdoing are doubtless i'll founded. In others they are well founded and in cer- tain cases the most appalling loss of life is shown to have occurred, accompanied with frightful cruelty.

Washington. April 1.-The response of the Secretary of the Treasury to the Senate resolution calling for the corre- spondence relative to the refusal of the national banks to supply currency to the interior banks last fall was sent to the Senate today. The statement shows that complaints were received from 4S banks in the interior cities, and that every effort was made by both the treasury and ths banks of the larger cities to meet the needs of the smaller institutions.
