WHEN PARTY LINES SHOULD BE IGNORED
(Tampa Times.)

President Harding has met with an uncommon
degree of popular approval in his appointment
of Secretary Hughes to a place on the disarmaI
ment commission. His appointment of Henry
Cabot Lodge will be subjected to more criticism
Lodge was one of the most bitter opponents
of the League of Nations, while Hughes favored
it. So far as their action on the disarmament
matter goes it may be expected they will take
medium course, result of a compromise
OF their diverging views. They are both intensely
American, and neither will consent to any meas
ure disadvantageous to the United States. Now
if the president will round out the delegation by
the appointment Of SOME eminent Democrat,
either in or out of congress, the whole country
will approve, and feel that its interests will be
in safe hands. Disarmament is in no sense
party question, why not ignore party lines in the
makeup of the delegation?

MICE AND CHIPMUNKS HELP
RESTOCK FOREST.

Mice and chipmunks are helping to
re-establish the forests of Oregon and
Washington, according to the officials of
the Forest Service, United States. Stud
les made by J. V. Holman, Director of
the Wind River Forest Experime mt Station
at Stabler, Wash, have shown that a
large part of the young fir growth COM
ing in on burned or logged areas in
these States is not wholly due to send
ing by occasional trees which are left
but in part to seed buried by small ro-
dents beneath the duff of the forest
floor.
In the West mice and other rodents
are usually condemned as workers of
evil in the forest. They often do con-
siderable damage to food supplies. and
their appetite for pine and fir seed is
chiefly responsible for the abandonment
of attempts to reforest ~burned-over and
waste areas by direct seeding methods.
Sometimes, however the work of these
little animals is beneficial -Evsryddy

London, Aug. 8th.-ln the House OF

ed attention to to the recently published

ending March 31st, and asked whether
they did not show that imports from the
United States exceeded these from the
United Kingdom by fourfold and Wheth-
err the overseas trade departments were
taking steps to assist British exporters
to obtain a larger share of this highly
important market. Sir Phillip Lloyd
Greame, Parliamentary Secretary for
Trade, replied that the facts were sub
stantial and that active steps were being
taken by the Trade Department. With
in the last few months His MaJeSty's
Trade Commits ,ionerS from Toronto and
Winnipeg had toured the United King
dom and interviewed oyer 700 firms and
he chief subject Of discussion had been
the possibility of meeting the competl-
ton of American firms. The Trade Com
missioner at Winnipeg had brought from
Canada a representative range OF sam
pies, and catalogues Of American made
goods which were selling in large quantl
ties in western Canada and which there
was good reason to believe could be
equally we'll supplied from this country.
An exhibition of these samples with IN.
formation given by the Trade Cosnmis-
sioner on prices and methods of market
ing, had created a great deal of interest
and from the views expressed by many
manufacturers and merchants, Sir Phillip
Lloyd Greame hoped and expected that
considerable business would result. SIR
Harry Britain asked whether the De
partment of overseas trade was able to
put exporters in touch with the right
class of agents throughout Canada, to
which Sir Phillip replied in the afirma-
tive and adding I'VE already nave done
so in number of cases.. He understood
