The Issue of Loyalty

WASHINGTON, April 29-The Repub-
lican Publicity Association. through its
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr..
today gave out the following statement
from its Washington headquarters:
BY its persistent efforts to force a
false issue OF loyalty into every SEN
atorial and congressional campaign, the
administration is doing more than any
other agency to throw out to the world
the impression that there IS a dam
gerously large disloyal element among
the people Of the United States. The
fact is that this dlsloyal element is so
small in numbers that il could be coped
with by the officers Of the government
II they were to exercise due diligence
in a fearless manner. Instead Of de-
voting their energies TO the suppress
sion Of the enemy within our gates
they seek to magnify the strength OF
. that enemy by insisting that the ques-
ton Of lOyaly shall be the dominant
issue in every political contest.
This, the Administration did in Wis
consin. The contest there resulted in
the election OF candidate who had
been denounced as disloyal. By falsely
presenting the loyalty issue the Ad-
ministration has tried TO make it ap-
pear that majority OF the voters OF
Wisconsin are dsloyal, which, OF
course, Is far from the fact.
ut has been repeatedly stated in the
newspapers and has never been de-
MED that the Administration caused
William J. Harris, a member Of the
Federal Trade Commission, to become
a candidate for Senator in Georgia
against Senator Hardwick and that 10y
atty will be the issue. Inasmuch as
Georgia is a state in which the Re
publicans have no possible hope OF
electing a candidate, the comment We
make upon that contest cannot be
charged to partisanship. Senator Hard.
wick is a native American. There ha:
been nothing in his public conduct tC
justify the belief that he has any sym.
pathy for Germany or Is lacking ir
loyalty to the United States. The fac
that he has not agreed with the Ad

disaster might have been wrought by

Presumably military considerations
prevent the disclosure at this time by
our own authorities Of the whole rec
ord OF these American pioneers in
France. This is much to be regretted.
That they have acquitted themselves
most meritoriously is plain, and their
