PARLOR' REDS

Speaking before the Fifteenth District
Republican Club, at 1o41 Madison ave-
nue.. last night on The Future OF the
Republican Party" Senator Miles Pein-
dexter Of Washington carefully refrained
from touching upon the peace treaty and
the League Of Nations covenant.
The FIRST duty Of the party. he said.
was to stamp out OF the country the
propa zanda OF anarchy and revolution
The nission OF the party in the imme-
date future. he declared was to save
the nation from the process OF distnte-
grafton in progress during the Demo-
cratic reign in Washington.
'4Tbe alien advocates OF enforced COM
munism and con6scation should be re-
turned at once and without exception
20 the country whence they came" said
the Senator, "and their aiders and aoet-
ters in this country, the so-caued par
lor Bolshevists,' who contribute money
to the revolutionary cause, and the off,
Gals of the Government. of high and low
degree, who have encouraged Bolshevtst
activities. should be exposed and pun
khed.
'-rhe new doctrine OF internationalism,
advocated alike by the Kaiser and his
Socialist followers, and by. the anarcn-
lists and Bolshevists of Russia and Amer
lea, should be combatted as fatal to our
institutions. The effort of the tnterna-
tionalists to join our fortunes with the
fortunes of men everywhere, ana TO
form a United States OF the World,
should be opposed as wholly inconsistent
with American independence and men,
ace to liberty"
Declaring that the administration had
abandoned American citizens - Mexico
TO murder and robbery, Senator Pom
dexter said: .es. -.- t..
The Republican party should elect
q president who will fulhu the respon-
sibiifties we have assumed in Mexico,
and reassert American honor and self
respect so that our citizens, lawfully
in that country. will noe be forced TO
ransom their lives with money, Alter
six years OF democratic vactllation Anu
weakness in dealing with Mexico, the
suggestion now made in some quart rs
that Great Britain should be invited TO
restore order in Mexico should be de-
nounced as false TO our fundamental
policies, and Republican Congress
should restore order in Mexico and ad-
tnst on correct principles its interna-
ttonal obligations"
Fhe Senator declared that the act OF
n Democratic Congress internatonaIz-
ing the Panama Canal should be re-
peaied. On the Philippine question, he
said:
.The promise OF the Democratic Ad-
ntnistration to haul down the Amer
lean flag in the Philippine Islands
should be repudisted, and a Republican
President and Congress should make II
clear that the blessings of liberty. which
the people of those islands have enjoyed
under American rule, will be preserved
and the mutual advantage of trade and
Industrial development under the pro-
tection of American law retained FOR our
peopie. The proposal. while abandoning
eur responsibilities in the Philippines to
assume the government OF Constantine
pie and Armenia, should be repudiated
other matters to VIII h the Republican
Congress should apply'itself were siver
an follows:
s.The extraordinary powers vested II
the Executive during the emergency o.
the war should be repealed at once anc
government should be restored to
normal basis.
The direct and oppressive extraordi
nary taxes. retarding business and in
ereasing the high cost Of living, shoulS
be reduced and repealed as rapidly a:
possible. In order to do this the ex
penditures OF the Government should b.
restored 10 a normal basis, waste ant
ineffciency eliminated, war bureau
abolished. and a tariff bill, so framed a!
to obtain a largH share of revenue from
import duties, to protect industry, main
tain wages. and especially to protec
and encourage the new industries es
tablished during the war. should be en-
acted without delay"
