American Trade Fleet
Manned by Americans
Merchant Marine That Will
Give United States Every Ad.
vantage Ia Advocated

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir, 1t seems to mo that . most de-
sirable and productive plank to incor-
porate In the Republican platform Is
"Ths American Merchant Marine"
am not proposing this because Of
the present outrage that the Demo-
cratic Administration attempted to
commit. namely, to dispose Of the
American shipping to foreign interests.
AS national issue 1t Is our duty to
see that the United States has an able
and competent feet Of American ships
to compete with any foreign trade and
merchants. The possession Of such a
feet would be a guaranty Of the pros
perity and independence Of the United
States.
There is no end Of good to be de-
rived from . great merchant marine,
but we also need the legislation Of
adequate laws to operate It.

League and Army Training

To tho Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In the important Presidential
campaign Of 1920 tho Republican party
should adopt true American planks for
its platform. Two problems, which con-
front the country to-day, and which
need to be emphasized, are tho forma-
ton of league Of nations and compul-
sorry military training.
The league of nations needs care
ful and considerate attention, and In
taking it up the policies of Washington
and the Monroe Doctrine must be eau
tiously needed. The country must be
positively sure Of its future safety be-
tore it Is endangered in European af-
fairs by agreeing to the terms OF this
league.
In considering tho issues Of Its plat
form, I think that the Republican party
should include these two important
planks. y. M. n.

Administrative Economy

The Republican party, realizing
that arbitrary action cannot decrease
the cost of living without creating a
condition Of industrial chaos, pledges
itself to strike at the root Of the
problem by initiating administrative
economy, revision of existing tax
laws, the enacting of severe laws for
and fmphas,s sneeay ratnn t
peace-time conditions.-Louis e. Col

leadership great railroad systems were
constructed, opening up vast undevel-

its work in tho past by supporting leg

the public lands. The Republican party
will do we'll to declare for good roads

Safeguards Of Government

We maintain that the three func-
tions Of government are legislative.
executive and judicial, and we op-
pose every attempt to make the leg
department q recording Office
Of the will Of the Executive. We be-
licve in tho independence Of the Ex-
ecutive and the legislative and iu-
dicial powers Of the government. and
that Congress shall make the laws
and the President shall "take care
that the laws be faithfully executed. !"
We oppose the threatened danger
which usurps the powers Of either
branch Of our government by any
other, and shall do so, as otherwise
the last principle of liberty is gone.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: We have but recently paused
for brief instant to pay homage to
the memory Of the two great leaders
who were so largely responsible for the
establishment Of our democracy.
Washington and Lincoln are long
since dead, but their farsighted poli-
cies still live and influence all true

Single Term for President

To the Editor OF The Tribune. !.
Sir: A single term Of four years

Uniform Law. for Education

Uniform Laws for Education
Realizing that 4 Republican form
Of government requires for its very
existence education and intelligence
in It's citizens and that ignorance is
the cause Of all forms Of anarchy,
We advocate q national department Of
education that will suggest uniform
laws and equal advantages to all
children throughout the United
States and its insular possessions,
increasing thereby the patriotic
ideals Of citixenship.-C. N.
Taxation According to~Benefits
Tho burden of maintaining the gov
ernment and performing it's serv-
ice ought to be levied on the vari-
Gus members Of the population in
accordahce with the benefits they
received from the government. We
predict that when intrusted with
adequate power will we promptly re-
wise tho tax laws and readjust tax
burdens in conformity with this prin-
ciple.-W. ]. Meyers, 527 Highland
Avenue, Westfeld, N. j.
Volunteer Military Establishment
The Republican party obligates
itself to provide an adequate military
establishment, which shall be raised
by volunteer enlistment. The forces
shall be employed in discharging the
obligations contracted under tho
Monroe Doctrine and in preserving
amity on the American continents.
M. Hauber jr., Ill Hudson Avenue,

Reorganize Cabinet Portfolios
We advocate reorganization Of
Cabinet portfolios to insure greater
economy and efficiency In conduct Of
government business. Our vastly in
creased population and national de-
velopment require the application Of
business methods to the machinery
Of government. Overlapping bureaus
should be eliminated. Department of
Education added. Each department
organized to function smoothly as

A great many people are severely

that the Netherlands government
feared the aircraft were to make
an attempt to carry off the former

1t was further learned that Baron
Won Zobeltitz, a well-known German
militarist and junker, arrived mere
suddenly last night from Berlin on
a mission to the former crown
prince. 1t is not definitely known
whether the baron actually went to
wierengen. or was prevented from
so doing by the Dutch authorities.
These facts are not taken here
as contradicting the governments $
denials of participation by the
Hohepzollerns in the Berlin coup,
but merely as tending to prove that
the Kapp regime was aiming to get

that even the most loyal Kaiserists
