EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS It is the everlasting faithfulness of God that makes a Bible promise "exceeding great and precious." Human promises are often worthless. Many a broken promise has left a broken heart. But since the world was made God has never broken a single promise made to one of His trusting children. "He is not a man, that He should lie."—C. H. Spurgeon. AMERICAN TRADE GAINS ABROAD America's foreign commerce is growing in volume. February figures show gains both as to exports and imports. There was an increase of about $61,000,000 in exports as compared with February, 1923. There was increase of more than $30,000,000 in imports. This denotes healthy status of America's foreign trade. Even though there may be turmoil in portions of Europe and in other regions abroad, the demand for American products is heavy and insistent and the volume of trading with foreign countries is heavy. This country likewise is buying heavily abroad, as indicated by total imports of $335,000,000 for the month of February alone. From all indications, this is to be a good year for the United States in its foreign trade. The citizen who fails to register within the prescribed period in effect disfranchises himself. No citizen should default in this. FRIENDSHIP IS STRONG WITH BRITAIN Great Britain has sent a new ambassador to Washington in the person of Sir Esme Howard. In presenting his credentials, Sir Esme bore the assurance of King George that the good understanding between the United States and Great Britain is "the best guarantee for the future peace of the world." To which President Coolidge replied that "the conscious identity of general aims existing between the United States and the British Empire." FRIENDSHIP IS STRONG WITH BRITAIN Great Britain has sent a new ambassador to Washington in the person of Sir Esme Howard. In presenting his credentials, Sir Esme bore the assurance of King George that the good understanding between the United States and Great Britain is "the best guarantee for the future peace of the world." To which President Coolidge replied that "the conscious identity of general aims existing between the United States and the British government will be a mighty force in bringing to the world a just and lasting peace." Pursuing his felicitous comment upon cordial relations existing between the United States and Great Britain, President Coolidge said: "When two nations cherish similar ideals, growing out of a common regard for discipline, for truth and love of justice, they seek to work in essential harmony. It is this common foundation, the conscious identity of general aims, which, I believe, will wield a mighty force in the bringing to the world a just and lasting peace." The world looks to America and Britain for leadership in promoting just peace. The relations between these two great powers prove what can be done if nations be right minded toward cementing the world together in indissoluble bonds of peace. Europe should recoup, financially and economically, with swiftness and certainty, once the vexing problem of reparations is solved. This solution seems to be in process, thanks to the talent, resourcefulness and tactful skill of the American representatives on the reparations committee.

As any policeman. Suggested slogan for congress: "They also serve who only stand and debate." Add Dictionary of Similes: "—as useless as gestures by a radio orator." A lot of the modern wives apparently have promised to love, honor and obey impulses. A lot of henpecked husbands will tell you that "loved and lost" beats "wedded and bossed." And what is it the height of when a policeman parks his car in front of a fire plug? The only time the average man has that conquering-hero feeling is when he manages to get two good seats on the aisle. The European situation shows improvements, but off hand we can't remember what they are. Yes, Ethel, life is like a golf game. We're into and out of one hole after another. Ho, hum.

"One-Wife Movement Spreads in Eastern World." One-wife-at-a-time is still the general rule on this side. In the old wet days a man could act as host without keeping a napkin over his arm to wipe off the living room table. The biggest howl to "make it exclusive" is usually raised by the member who barely managed to slip in himself. The prize actor is the jilted lover who can praise the successful candidate and make it sound like he means it. A pharmaceutical house recommends dimethylaminophenyidimethylpyrazoline as a medicine. One syllable after each meal and at bedtime. Speaking of politics, "pouring oil on the troubled waters" is a metaphor that has lost its meaning. We need something now to pour on the troubled oil. Correct this sentence: "The box office man said, 'I feel it my duty to tell you that this is a side seat and your view will be obstructed by the box in front.'"

Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying CALAVERAS TREES, NATIONAL PARK—Stockton Independent Recent news from Washington would seem to indicate that the efforts of the Stockton Chamber of Commerce to secure the Calaveras Grove of sequoias as a national park are beginning to bear fruit. A conference has been arranged in that city between Robert M. Whiteside of Duluth, Minn., owner of the Calaveras Groves, Congressman John E. Baker, and Stephen T. Mather, national parks director, at which time it is hoped an arrangement may be perfected whereby other government forest lands may be accepted by the owner in exchange for the Calaveras Groves. Efforts and plans to save the Calaveras Groves have extended over some period of years, and while it has been stated that at one time Mr. Whiteside placed a price upon the groves, during later years none have seemed able to secure definite information as to the owner's price or as to his willingness to sell. The conference of this week will no doubt at least bring out very definite information on these two points, which will give some basis for negotiations. While the entire state will rejoice if the Calaveras Groves are conserved for a national park, and while many orders and organizations have lent their interest and co-operation to the plan at various times, it remained for the Stockton Chamber of Commerce to prove its effectiveness by securing action that we all hope may result in the immediate securing of the Calaveras National Park, but should that fail the conference will, no doubt, bring out such information and data as would be invaluable should a further campaign be necessary to secure the conservation of the Calaveras Groves.
