On the 7th January last there appeared in the columps of the Statesman, an English news- paper published in Calcutta, a confidential note written by Lord Curzon as Governor-General 24th May, 1932, on the subject of court language of the Sambalpur district and certain connected questions. The publication of such document was regarded by the Government of India as a grave breach of journalistie' proprie. 1y, but before proceeding further in the matter they decided to give the Editor, Mr. Ratcliffe, opportunity of offering an explanation of his The explanation furnished by Mir, Ratcliffe in no degree palliates his original fence.

A new fleet of from 100,000 to 300,000 tonk of stee? mail steamships, the naval reserve of fast transport, ammunition ships, supply ships, colliers, repair and hospital ships, dia patch vessels, etc., described in the accom- panying report of Admiral Dewey, as èstenilai to the efficiency of our fighting fleet in war.
3. A net addition to our cargo (and fishery) tonnage of 1,500,000 tons, increasing four- fold the actual ocean shipping of the United States, and giving us, exclusive of our dis- tinctive lake and coastwize vessels, a mer- chant marine much larger than the entire merchant fleet of France or Norway, nearly twice that of Italy, and fully twice that of Japan.
