VOTE REPUBLICAN,; WORK.
This Is the Advice of Frances Gordon
Alexander to Her Fellow Citizens.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: / shall
vote the straight Republican ticket. feel
Ing. as ] do. that the Democratic Ad-
ministration has been unsuccessful in
carrying on the business of the country.
We know from history that this is usu-
ally the case under a Democratic adj
ministration
All this talk about tie League OF Ma
lions is superhuous. The League OF Ma
tions, as / know by three years residence
in Europe-1917 to 1920-has never
been a real working organization. The
ineptitude, ignorance and folly OF that
body will never be known. Some OF the
larger Powers have attempted to use 1t
as a medium to crush each other or
smaller nations. but as its mandates
have never, been obeyed It has not made
any impression in Europe. Consequently
IL we were to succeed in enacting the
proposed League of Nations we should
have to convert to our ideas most or the
other nations. 1t has been the laughing
stock of those who are in position to
know since the beginning.
AS far as we are concerned the war
is over. but as regards Europe 1t still
continues and will continue until they
have settled their own differences, and
let us beware that we do not put our
finger between the bark and the tree"
1t will be resented.
Charitable and sentimental people to
the contrary. we did not go IL to this
war because we wished to rescue any
nation on the other side, not even France,
hut falt hot rio nd
privileges were being menaced. When
1t Is our duty to interfere in foreign
affairs We shall come forward in the
same generous spirit which we have
shown before, and I hope with more
preparation. AS to keeping us out OF
war;" there is no one IN America who
wants to go to war for wars sake. nor
indeed do l think there are on the
whole earths surface more than hand
full who do. The history Of the last hun
bred years shows that holy alliances,
treaties and the rest have never held
back any nation from fighting when it
came to the point They never have they
never will. 1t is against natural law.
We have passed through several years
of destruction Now 1t remains to be
seen IL we have the force to look the
question fairly in the face. We shall
see that mo matter from what angle
you approach our situation, you will run
up against need for greater production"
What we need is work. not talk. No
wonder California finds itself in an EN-
barrassing position. The japanese are
at the threshold. and certainly the en-
tire country will be taken over by them
If no restraint is put upon them. l have
been told again and again what a terrible
menace they are. and in the same breath
that the whites won't work and the
Japanese will. At the present moment
people who are working CD and trying
to see how little they can accomplish and
how much they can gain are very largely
to be found among the white race. The
whole idea Is to live on somebody else,
and the next person. with the same idea.
to live upon somebody else. The devil
will get the foremost, first.
If there is any way II awakening the
world at large TO the necessity Of not
only paying for the needs of the day but
for the destruction which has been
wrought since 1914 the lesson to be
preached is common sense and work
otherwise 1t means the passing of the
white race. Do you wish to pass into
n state of tuteage? 1t is not the first
time it has happened in history, but this
peaceful penetration does not appeal to
me at ALL Eternal servitude would be
worse than the mad caperings of Boil
shevlsm. which bears It's own death in
It's very inception. as we now begin to
see. FRANCES GORDON ALEXANDER.
