Export Trade Promoted

The Republican party is pledged to
adopt such safe, practical and eff
cie.lt measures as will promote ex-
port trade, realizing that in the near
future foreign markets for American
manufactured products will be es-
sential to maintaining production,
wages and suitable merchant ma
rine. To accomplish this end the
full force of its influence will be d.
rected toward stabilizing foreign ex-
change, improvement in consular
service and the merchant marine and
extension of aerial mail service.-

Of more than one-fifth Of all the planks

The demand for a plank on labor

is now third on the list, displacing

Among the sugge stions as to methods
Of Amer.canizing foreign born citizens
who have failed to appreciate American
institutions is one for an academy of
citizenship, in which all aliens who de-
sire to remain in the country would
have to take course and graduate in
order to obtain the privileges accorded
to citizens. Many of the pfanks on this
subject are vague, but there Is almost
unanimous agreement that the alien
resident who after rca asonable time

he maintenance of orderly govern
ment during the present world emer-

While VIC sympathize with the world
wide aspiration Of mankind for the
5olition of all war, we cannot be OBJ
lvlous to the lessons Of history, which
plainly teach the futilty of leagues
and alliances for maintenance of per
Aanent peace.
The Republican party favors the es-
'abllshment of League of nations
'ested primarily with judicial powers
rather than legislative or executive
'unctions. We oppose the entry Of
he Unlted States into any league en-
powered to employ the man power or
resources Of our country for military
power in conflict with our Federal
Constitution or in derogation Of our
national sovereignty
We favor the establishment of q
permanent court of the nations for
arbitration and trial Of international
controversies and for coditication and
development of international law BY
The orderly process of judicial de-
cisions rendered by the most eminent
jurlsts, sanctioned by governments and
peoples OF the world, a system Of in
ternational Jurisprudence might grad
ually be developed analogous to our
common law. The permanent associa
ton Of such body Of men. with
abundant opportunity for conference
and discussion, would tend to promote
good understandings and friendly rela
tions between the nations and thereby
further. the cause Of world peace
Our Federal Constitution, our ma
tional sovereignty and our liberties are
me priceless heritage from the fathers
of the Republic. These tangible bless
ings must not be sacrificed to an

member deprived of any and
all power to initiate taxes or
appropriations for his own
political advantage.
There is nothing to arouse
enthusiasm in such work. 1t is
much easier to utter beautiful
generalities about ideals of hu-
manity or making the world
safe for democracy. There is
nothing spectacular about

ministration and excessive and
inequitable taxation have been
the chief cause of social up
heaval and the downfall of gov
ernments. 1t is still easier to
make vociferous attacks on
Bolshevism or to proclaim ones
Americanism on the street
corners. 1t would take real
courage and ability, however,
to abolish the worthless army
posts and navy yards; to end
the system Of river and harbor
improvements and develop a
genuine inland water system;
to clear the unnecessary en-
ployees from the payroll and
make the United States gov
ernment an effective and honest
instrument Of popular will.
Surely a leader who made this
his chief plank would get a
hearing.

If these national expendi-
lures were productive in char

garded as an investment, but
far too large a proportion Of
them are for purely personal
and sectional advantage. Every
decent citizen would gladly
have given his last dollar to
win the war, but he does not
gladly give five dollars where
two would suffice if honestly
spent. Furthermore, in spite
Of the large expenditures, the
ablest employees of the gov

To-day;s Prize Letter

10 the Editor Of The Tribune:
Sir: A few years ago Elihu
Root, referring to the State of
New York, remarked that the
business Of government had
long ago outgrown the machin-
cry Of government: This is
certainly true of the Federal
government. The United States
is conducting the greatest busi-
ness in the world. The conduct
of that business affects every
commodity, the comfort and
welfare Of every man, woman
and child in the country.
For many years it has been
well known fact that this bust
ness has been wastefully man.
aged, and while more and more
work has been undertaken,
governmental machinery is still
crude and utterly unified to
carry the added burdens. The
work of reorganization, urged
by President Taft, has not been
carried out and the recent war
produced the greatest carnival
of waste and extravaganza in
the history of the world. The
full extent of this profligate ex-
penditure is still unknown; the
demoralizing effect on public
and private morals can never
be accurately estimated. What
we do know, however, Is that
we are now called upon to pay
the bills, and at a time when
state and local burdens are
heavier than ever.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-31
A Republican Greed

The Republican party believes in
the United States OF America as a
government Of the people, by the
people and for the people; govern
ment whose just powers are derived
from the consent of the governed: a
democracy in a republic; a sovereign
nation of many sovereign states; a
perfect union, one and inseparable.

freedom, equality, justice and human
ity for which American patriots
sacrificed their fortunes and their
lives. 1t is our duty to our country

obey its laws, respect its. flag and
defend it against all enemies.-W.

Reduce National Debt

In view OF the burden of debt now
borne by the country, we favor the
strictest economy in all government
expenditures so that as large por-
tion as possible of the revenues can
be used to reduce the debt. and that
the present excessive issue of cur
rency be reduced gradually along
with the national debt. We believe
this plan not only will help to reduce
the nigh cost Of living. but also will
lead to safer financial condition
with the least possible disturbance to
the business OF the country

part of the world, without re-
striction except as to naturalized
citizens who make their per nancnt
home outside Of the United States.
AS means to promote this man
ner of maintaining the dignity and
prestige Of the nation we favor
the establishment Of foreign

tanglements. The proper scope of

principles as established by the

Labor and Industry

The interests Of tho laborer are

great consuming public. Since "Capi-
tai" readily concentrates, .organiza-
ton Is necessary to uphold the in
terests of laborers as opposed to
suicidal grasping for privilege on the
part of selfish capitalists. Labor or
ganizations, however. must submit to
the interests Of the public at large.
An individual may stop work at will;
but any organized movement to OBJ
struct industry, however fine its pur-
pose may be. is revolt against the
general public, and is not to be toll
