opportunities for all Of it's groups, and
by the conservation of such heri-

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In these days Of Soviet muir
murings and the deportation Of radicals
from our shores, the question Of i'm
migration looms up with increasing
portent.
America has been called, whether
justly or not, "the dumping ground of
Europe" Do we as a party or as
nation wish this statement verified or
shall our government scrutinize more
closely the prospective citizen with
view toward preserving our ideals, In
stitutions and state Of peace within
our borders7
The mass Of illiterates who arc
landed monthly, or even daily, on our
shores, having no conception Of our
form Of government and an astounding
lack Of knowledge with regard to the
principles upon which it is founded.
present a problem which think is one
Of tho most timely before the people.
One can readily see that quite ma
jority Of such immigrants lend them
selves admirably to Bolshevist teach
lngs and become quite readily the apt
catspaws for the radical labor leader,
and as such menace to society gem
orally.
This problem should be one Of the
vital issues incorporated as plank in
the platform for the Republican party.

Sir: The next Presidential candi-
date who becomes famboyant about
"Alnericanism" and property rights"
and who gives a deafening ring to
long line Of platitudes that are we'll
nigh sickening to tho electorate will
not win. AS substitute for such
hackneyed matter he must stand on a
platform that makes terss provisions
for social welfare.
The war has left Us ne% only In need
Of new arrsngements. but With new
desires which conflict with our pres
snt customs Tho standard Of living
has been raised; the cry for greater
equality Of wealth seems to come
from all corners. New principles and
satisfactory measures must be formu-
lated to meet this demand, and an
Intelligent discussion must be
launched that will lead In due time
to positive steps in Industrial
democracy. THEODORE MICHEL.

Rule by Thrift

Drive to Get Results
Consistent Policies to Rem
edy the Endless Series
of Self Contradictions
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There can be only one domi-
nant plank in the Republican platform
this year, because live plank is neces-
sarily based on live issue, and there
Is but one major issue at the present
time that is distinctively Republican.
Americanism? Both parties, we hope,
are loyalty American, and unless the
unexpected happens both parties will
como out strongly for undiluted Ameri-
canism.
Reputation Of Executive autocracy? {?
But this deals purely with the per-
sonal equation, and is at most negative.
Other issues may come to mind. each
one important in Its way, but all sub
ordinate to or included in the one vital
Issue that now confronts the nation
and upon the proper solution Of which
depends its future prosperity-admin-
istrative efficiency.
This, Of course, includes q practical
budget system, close supervision Of
government expenditures and the rest
Of what might be called the financial
technique Of government, but it in
cludes far more than this; it means .
resumption Of efficiency in all the func-
tons Of government, q follow-through
that gets results, a consistent series of
policies as opposed to an endless series
Of self-contradictions. This is the vi
tai plank, the winning issue Of the next
campaign. r. OIL.

Americanize Americans
First, Called Big Need

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The paramount task confronting
US is to Americanize America in her
varied phases. We must Americanize
not only foreigners but also Americans.
The necessity Of deporting every
enemy Of our American institutions
admits Of no argument But the de-
STABILITY Of Americanizing the funda-
mental viewpoints Of certain acknowl-
edged Americans is not 80 easily seen.
Which explains the turmoils of the
present day.
. Look at the steel strike, the coal
strike and at the muddled treaty stu
alton. The American labor leaders al
proceed to the point where the vital
interests of America were ;eopardizcd.
It Is legitimate for those leaders to
fight and secure for labor certain ad-
vantages. But they certainly need to
Americanize their fundamental eco
nomic viewpoints, SO that in every
future struggle they will allow the
economic fight to go so far-and then
no more, or the boundary Of American
interests may be overstepped. In other
words, national welfare Is supreme to
class advantage, whatever It Is.
The trouble with the proponents Of
the treaty without reservations or
amendments is that they allow lofty
ideals to carry their feet off the earth.
All they need to do Is to Americanize
their fundamental governmental view
points.
BY all means let US have the treaty
ratified on compromise basis, if nee
essary, provided that the Americaniz-
ing influences Of the Lodge reserva-
tions are not cut out.
Let those economic and political lead
ers Am ericanizc themselves; and then
we would feel assured that, no matter
another in our economic and inter
national sphere, America first" Is
our constant, fundamental, inspira-
tional guide to solution.
