Party Creed Sought to
Stress American Ideals
Defeat Preferred to Victory If
Success Means Surrender
of Principles

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There was time in our DO
l'tical history when party platforms
had some meaning and represented diff
1erent principles upon which the voters
divided and acted, but this was before
the present day individualism of candi-
dates and the non-partisan advocates
OF single cause or of class legislation
had become permanent
a few illustrations prove this state
ment. The Adamson law was passed
by Congress at the instigation of labor
leaders under threat of a railroad
strike. 1t was not SO much the fear of
the strike that influenced it's passage.
but the fear of the labor vote at the
coming national election.
The AntiSaloon League policy Of
supporting individual legislators, both
state and national, regardless of party
or their general fitness for office if thew
could secure their votes for prohibi
ton has brought new political
method into existence
What should a platform of a safer
party, or as we were talking about.
the Republican party, be? Is it to be
more OF a creed containing basic funda.
mental principles of government and
ideals Of true Americanism and democ-
racy or Will 1T be a combination of all
IDEAS to catch the vote of every form

to make laws to allow whisky to be dis

To-Day's Prize Letter
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the framing of a national
platform that shall make its appeal
to the nations intelligence and
sense of moral obligation, should we
not look to the rock from whence
we are hewn for what genuine Amer
icanism means? Our forefathers, in
laying the foundations of our re-
public, ignored all caste, class, sec
tionalism or sectarian prejudices.
Out of many diverse elements ma
tion was formed, and out of many
conflicting theories of government a
constitution was written.
We have been drifting away from
the sense of definite nationalism
and we have been faithless to the un-
derlying principles of the Constitu-
ton, which guarantee justice, free
dom and personal rights to all. The
newly incubated internationalism is
something which the makers of this
nation distinctly avoided. We have
also violated the original spirit of
New-York tribune., 1920-02-18

tho Constitution by enactments con-
trary to personal liberty and equal
rights as our forefathers understood
them.
If the Republican party will take
as its keynote in the coming cam
paign the slogan Fidelity to the Po-
iitical Faith Of the Founders of the
Republic" it will appeal at once to
the historic sense of the nation and
to the need of rebuilding on the wis
dom that shaped divergent communi-
ties into cohesive national unit.
: That spirit Of the, older American
ism is we'll expressed in the words
of the prayer book, "That all thing
may be so ordered and settled upon
the best and surest foundations that
peace and happiness, truth and JUS
tice,. religion and piety may be es-
tablished among US for all genera
tions." Can modern Americanism ex-
press it any better?

Last October our government had to

Inc high cost of living was called

government would check the rising

Our currency was greatly inflated
during the war by the issue of Federal

Finally. this country has not formally
concluded peace with its enemies. The
attempt to force US into visionary
league as the price of making peace
mas tailed; yet the Administration re-
] fuses to yield to the pressure of mh-
lie opinion. f'N'

the reading public that the platform
contest in your paper is having slim

if it is to have any influence for good
you would do we'll not to lose sight OF
the fact that people of America are
not vitality Interested in the generali-
ties expressed in political platform.
For instance, an article in The Trib-
une of February 5 stated that the Re

record as guaranteeing an efficient and
economical administration. Will some
one inform me how it is to be deter
mined whether or not an administra-

You readily can see that such a gem

1t would be infinitely better for the
party to go on record as definitely
promising to enact into law such meas

Americanism Seen
AS Biggest Issue
In Political Arena
World Not Ready for Any
Kind of Internationalism
That Overlaps Principles
of i. S. i'm Covenants
o the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The world is not ready for any
kind of internationalism that overlaps
the strictest conformity to acknowl-
edged principles of keeping our cove
nants and our treaties.
We can neither Justify the action Of
a Germany in forcing war upon the
world or accept league of nations
such as has been Wilsonized.
To arrive at complete international
agreement at the conclusion of the
World War was impossible. 1t has been
impossible for the United States to ac-
cept the league Of nations, and it will
not be accepted without reservations.
What we do accept is the intent ana
purpose of this league, for in this it is
believed that the good faith of the most
powerful nations shall have full weight
We add the United States as one of
the high contracting parties, yet in
greater significance we give our moral
force and influence, both of which are
formative of a true balance Of power,
inevitable and conclusive.
I believe th@t we have need to re-
member this ia i, for without this So
| called balance of power there can be no
dominance, no right, no authority.
We have need to remind ourselves
that as a nation we are entering a
period of most momentous future
Labor, borrowing Of the errors of a
discredited capitalism Of twenty years
ago, sees only its selfish gains from
day to day. Votaries of it's reforms 20

agreement among nations is imperative,

domestic problems and set us right be-
fore the world.
