American Planks
Needed to Attract
American Voters
Platform That Puts Down
Concisely What the Party
Stands For Is Advocated
to Win Victory in 1920
o the Editor Of the Tribune.

To the Editor Of the Tribune.
Sir: 1t is not enough that the Re-
publican party have the recommends
tion OF history. 1t needs platform
true to the best traditions of the party
and Of the country. We must live up
to our past.
Moreover, by our platform and by our
candidate we must convince the voters
that such is our purpose.
But platform contains many planks
dealing with many different subjects,
not all of equal interest to all voters.
There Is danger that the real purpose
Of the party might be lost sight Of
To obviate this danger we should SO
construct our platform that there will
yet appear in the whole one clean-cut
issue giving it unity and defniteness
Of purpose.
What is this issue, this unifying
principle?
Americanization? No.
The answer is, Americanism.
Let Us make every plank in our plat
form an American plank.
But what, specifically, does this
mean?
1t means that our plank on foreign
relations must uphold American tradi-
tions, the American Constitution and
the Monroe Doctrine. 1t means that
our plank on free speech must be true
both to the First Amendment and to
American common sense.
1t means that our plank on constitu-
tional rights must declare that it is
not American for any one man to ex-
ercise despotic power 1t means that
our plank on the labor problem must
emphasize the American ideal Of equal
ity of opportunity for all and the in
violable character Of property rights.
It means that the plank on the cost
of living must recognize the fact that
neither socialism nor paternalism is
Americanism. 1t means that our plank
on taxation should declare against the
un-American idea of inequality in the
distribution of the burden of govern
ment.
1t means that our plank on immi-
grafton should state that while America
is still a land Of opportunity it is
America for Americans" and define
an American as one able to absorb
the American idea.
Men like to know what they are
voting for.
When they do know the majority vote
right. Let them know this year that
in voting the Republican ticket they
are voting for good, fashioned
Americanism. W. E. THOMAS.

LiUing Cost Laid
To High Tariffs
to Sati ST y
All Glasses Declared
TO Need Compromises
o the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A high protective tariff works
admirably in equalizing the difference
between labor conditions of this and
other countries, but there it stops. We
are all at present suffering from the
high cost Of living-a state which
might be ameliorated by the reduction
of the tariff on certain essentials Of
life.
Our hrst duty is to make life easier
for the country at large, an diff hese
necessaries were allowed to be i'm
ported at lower tariff the increased
sEnount would decrease the retail cost.
Secondly, | should advocate the cur
tallment Of government expenses. Dur
ing the next Administration war
savings stamps become due, and as
many have been sold there must be
sufficient surplus in the Treasury to
pay for these without raising present
taxes to meet the bill. If Congress
continues to spend money promiscu-
ously there will be no surplus.
In few more years the first Liberty
Loan will be due, and many millions
must go for that If We are to be
taxed above our regular taxes to meet
the payment on the bonds we might as
we'll write them off.
In the third place, we must have a
platform that will be acceptable to the
laborers, farmers and employers. We
cannot try to please one class alone;
we must please all to some extent and
compromise, as in every case, to some
extent. EDWARD ROBINSON

when it has already taken its stand

A nation can make or mar It's health
record as easily as can q community

What we need is a department of

be known as the Secretary of Public
Health, with place in the Cabinet.
women have never been engaged in
industry to such an extent as thew
are to day. Since the beginning of the
war 1t had been necessary for a bureau
OF women in industry to cope with the
special needs Of the vast numbers of

shown that with the increasing mum
ber Of women in industrial activities

prove conclusively that department

future of the nation. G. II. M.

should be given to woman.
There is q better plan. There are
many features of the bureaucratic
WORK OF our government that possess
an altruistic character-the bureaus
OF child welfare (already admins

IN the Department of Agriculture.
another for the advancement Of
women and girls on the farm.
Out Of these should be formed q
new portfolio, to be known as the
Department of Public Welfare, and
the Secretary of the department
should be a woman-a member of the
new Presidents advisory family.
A pledge to this end in the next
national platform to be adopted at
Chicago next June would be no small
factor IN the party's success in No
vember. The reiteration of the
promise by all candidates, from
President to members of Congress
will enlist the support of thousands
of Thoughtful and politically indepen-

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

To The Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What will the Republican
party do to encourage the enroll
ment of the hundreds of thousands
OF women who, in all probability,
will cast their votes in the Novem-
ber election?
Mr.. Hays is already on record that
to women shall be given an equal
chance with men in the higher coun-
ellis of the approaching Republican
administration. This is an excellent
beginning, and comes from one whose
political sapience has met with wide
approval.
But it is not enough. It is a critica,
period in the history oG the one
American party that has possessed
the dominant influence in the build
ing and welding of the nation, and
definite statement in the national
platform for giving place to the
demonstrated political ability of
American womanhood is truly i'm
perative and cannot be too strongly
urged.
What shall this place be? 1t has
been suggested that there should be

One Language in America
Favored to End Dislovalty

To he Editor Of The Tribune.
Si-: The day for the creation of uni
fed and distinctively American ideals is
here; ignorance, racial prejudice, social
injustice, all that savors of neglect or
disloyalty must be annihilated from our
commonwealth.
One American language will make it
possible to present unified program Of
offense against the disintegrating re-
action of relaxed discipline, dulled IDEAL
ism and divided counsels, the internal
foes Of the nation.
In fact, the only channel open to the
unifcation of purpose in achieving So
cially, racally and nationally enriching
ellowship-the coveted goal of our
greater Americans that of one Ameri.
can language for all the people.

Sign the Peace Treaty.

The Republican party believes that
the peace treaty should be signed
without delay, and that membership
in the league of nations should be
accepted in such way that the
forces of the United States cannot be
used except according to the constitu-
tional powers of Congress and the
ideals and practices of the Monroe
Doctrine. Our relations with world
powers should continue friendly, CO.
operative and constructive, and prom
lses held out to small nations must
be fulfilled, so that the United States
may be freed from European entan-
clements except as they affect her as
a world power.-H. W. Fox, 103 Yale

Waste of Our Natural
Resources Is Condemned

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Among the many problems fac
ing this country nothing is more pres
sing than that of conservation and the
stopping of the reckless waste of our
natural resources.
Further delay in meeting this prob
lem, already difficult. would only make
its solution more difficult and costly.
Present high prices OF coal, lumber,
etc, are directly the result of eXploita-
ton without control
Are we to permit this to continue,
when at a comparatively small cost
and with a sound policy we can assure
our economic strength in the future {?
