Roberts in the Ameri cas, April isue, says: "It is evident that the foreign trade of America is at the erd of the first piriod of its development and now confronts a new phase of extension likely to be quite different from the war-stimulated activities of the half decade or so since war in terrupted the world's esf.i'-lishe-l trade relations. Up to this time, our expanded foreign trade has been largely in the direction of Europe and South America; in the coming years it will be the orient that will claim an increasing share of atten tion frem American exporters an.l -Importers." He mentions in addition that the national foreign trade council has decided to hold its 1920 meeting on the Pacific coast, and notes that this was no accident. Herbert Hoover in the Saturday Evening Tost recently explained how price's obtainab'e for our food f tuffs in the foreign markets irre sistibly determine many basic prices in our own country, though the quantity exported be in very small ratio to t lie quantity produced. The statements of Roberts and Hoover are cited to call attention in different ways to the fact that events and economic laws laugh at every suggestion that America can effec tively withdraw from international concerts and relationships. A thou sand other men could be added if there were any need of supporting logic with logicians. If American trade turns to the orient and no matter in what de gree it turns there, no person in his senses doubts that our oriental commercial interests are in for vast development how will it be possi- nriE! c fl ii B R H p II H h n M r - by the 30th of May. U u 0 B i M Rfl Plattsmouth, Neb. Q u -:- bio for us to avoid rivalry with Ja pan, to say nothing of European powers? How will it be possible to carry on rivalry without the basis oi, understanding? How- can an un derstanding be maintained without the frankest recognition in this country that commercially we have an empire, that commercially we are a world power, that commercially we aro in and of the world, and that what woNire commercially we also are politically whether we are silly enough to try ignoring it or not. Out oT the war, and with every body's approval, we have got a car rier fleet. What for? To promote isolation? Out of the war we have got pres tige and power that concerns every other nation on the globe, that must and -will be taken into all calcula tions, and that as an influence in the remote corners cannot be dis sipated whether we pretend our po sition is of no consequence or wheth er we don't. Our place as the rich est, most agressivt-ly industrial, most militarily powerful single state on the globe is a reality; it exists; it is no more destructible for ' the next generation at least than the air we breathe. And so long as it exists we shall be international. We cannot, withdraw from the world. The most and the -worst we can do is to persuade ourselves that we have withdrawn. From that con dition of national auto-hypnosis, if we attain it. we shall awake when seme fact snaps its fingers. Dos Moines Register. -:o:- A PRESIDENT IN PAJAMAS rres'ulent Wilson is not the only president who breaks precedents. The president of la belle France has broken one and broken it hard, so hard that it is a wonder the presi dent did not at the same time break an arm, a leg or his head. The pre cedent so thoroughly fractured by President Deschanel is: that which requires, so far as a precedent can require anything, that a. president when traveling shall not leave a spe cial presidential train save when it is standing still and can be received, presumably with honor and dignity by a reception committee, or at any rate alight with personal safety. President Deschancl left his train in the dead of night, precipitately, through a rear window of his sleep ing compartment that opened too suddenly on the super-exertion of 10-csidential muscle, without anyone knowing of his exit. He was unac companied. Consequently there was great anxiety and alarm among the members of his party when, a fe hours afterward, the valet ran through the train shouting ".Mon sieur le president est disparu". The president alighted very irregularly on a. 'and bed that a kind providence had dumped on the track next thing to a bed of roses under the circum.-tanees but far different from the red carpet tlfat had been spread on the platform at Monbrison. which the president's feet were expected to press with stately tread. The president of France recovered from his sprawl, felt of himself, rea lized that he was wide awake and it was no dream, daubed his lingers with a little blood that was trick ling from his face, arose, noticed he was too late to catch his train, and started hiking down the track to a station a short distance away, cla no better than a somnambulist, in pajamas. Think how democratic a walk this was for the bead of the Republique Francaise. It was a lev elling down. The president was garbed with less dignity than u track walker whom he soon met, and ho certainly was right when he counted that the track walker would be surprised that the man before him was Monsieur Deschanel, president of the republic. There can be no doubt, that the track walker will often speak of the interview. It is possible that the heads of foreign states will not convey con gratulations to President Deschanel on his escape from serious injury, but he deserves them. Very faw presidents could do what lie did and furnish less work for the doctors, but he probaMy will bo satisfied with breaking this safe and time-honored precedent but once. The presidential train was at Mon brison and could have come up the track in a short time, but the presi dent preferred to return to Paris by automobile, and under the circum stances we can't blame him for not wanting to get on the presidential train again for awhile. :o: W.
