What Real Soldier Needs
Plea for Universal Training
Based on Lack of Discipline

To the Editor OF the Tribune
St-: ! was very much Impressed with
The prize letter in reference to the
American people having too little re-
specs for law. 1t was my fortune to
handle during the war a very large
number Of young soldiers, mostly
drafted men and the thing tina. i'm
pressed ne most was their almost uni
versal lack OF training in the things
that 60 surthese to make them good
Americans and citizens.
II was very noticeable how different
we're the ones who had had some few
months training in the regular army.
/. was the consensus Of opinion among
me officers that the two things the
American youth reeded most were dis
cspline and training in respect TO their
elders and super1ors; respect, obedi-
ence and lessons in telling the abso-
ute truth and avoidance of petty
stealing.

Paternalism Declared
No Peril in America
he Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Under some forms Of govern
ment it no doubt is possible for patcr-
nalism and so-called sumptuary laws
being carried to a point where they be-
come offensive, but I venture to say
there is little danger Of it in a repub-
lie such as ours.
We take pride in the fact that we
live in the freest country in the world,
but this does not mean that the indi-
vidual has absolute personal liberty;
it simply means that we have more lib
erty than the citizens of other nations.
Most of our laws must of necessity
be OF a regulative character, and, there
fore, sumptuary. and if they are pro-
tective they are p%aternal as we'll.
What becomes, then, of the offensive
ness of either?
The Democratic party has on more
than n occasion taken it upon itself
as a sop to certain Of its members, tc
officially scott at 'paternalism" and to
sheer at laws as being sumptuarv and
therefore subversive OF democracy, but
their words lack the true ring Of pa
triotism. Their aim is to obtain license
not liberty.
Our republican form of government
depends for its perpetuatlon upon
those who have a shade more concern
for the rights Of others than for thcil
own.
Selfshncss is poor nourishment for Z
democracy. FRED n. PARKS.

To thc Editor of The Tribune.
SIR: Il IS with interest We read the
uri-e letter OF March IS. written by
=. L. Ward. We thoroughly agree with
NJ Wards idea IN regard TO the posi-
ZION Of the farmers at the present time.
Ii is a fundamental truth that the
farmer IS the essential supporter of
the nation. for IL IS by his products
alone that life = maintained. The soil
is az his command, but without labor it
would be useless. and in order to sup
NV the nation with foodstufs he must
have help TO till the soil as we'll as
care fer his livestock.
Even a. The e~xorbitantly high price
OF wages 1t Is almost impossible for him
20 secure adequate help. We can at
tribute this TO two causes: Our bows
were drafted 20 enter the war, and thus
g-ea. numbers were takeA from the
farms. and. as Mr.. Ward says, "they
should be drafted back to the farms at
reasonable wages
Second. the exceedingly high salaries
commanded by the wage earners in the
cities during the last few years have
tempted the boys who rightfully be-
iong on our farms to believe they could
compete for these high salaries. and it

Referring to the present milk discus

farmer is paid in proportion to his ex-
penses the consumer soon will be

lines of business run for cost OF pro,

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Presidential election next
tall will be one of the most important
elections in the history of this cour-
try. The very best men in the nation
must be put in Office to solve the
momentous problems which will in
eTtahly como up as the world gets
back to a peace basis.
During our participation in the war
the government spent huge sums OF
money. in many cases rccklessly. It is
rue that this was brought about by
the great urgency for speed; but i,
has none the less caused wages TO rise
and. together with the increase in cur
rency and bank credits. has resulted n
a decrease in the purchasing power OF
the dollar.
The high wages paid have made it
possible for labor to buy Injuries, re-
CARELESS of cost. Such spending en-
courages profteering and sends prices
soaring. At every rise in prices labol
strikes for higher wages, which cuts

Some people think that prices are
going to stay up. That seems hardly
possible for this reason: When the
cost OF Injuries pass a certain point
those who cannot afford them will stop
buying; the manufacturer will cut down
productions; the labor thus released

wages, If necessary; there will be a
corresponding increase in the supply
OF labor and also les. money for use
less spending; wage will fall; and,
finally. prices will drop.
When this happens it is not entirely
unlikely that Bolshevism will spread.
In such a case the country must have
strong, fearless. right-minded men for
its leaders. Any OF the indecision
that was so noticeable on the part Of
the Administration during the war
might be disastrous.
The Republican party is favozbly
regarded at present. With a strong

To promote war there must be a
motive, a want, and this with US is
lacking, as we have all the territory
and material We want or can make
use Of, and arc, apparently, even con-
sidering disposing Of some Of it,
such as the Philippines, including
their splendid possibilities. as a base
for Oriental trade.
Moreover, we apparently do not
even want what we have justly won
after being put to enormous expense
by Germany: some repayment for
these expenses.
We are in an exceptional position.
We have no motive to promote war,
but are in fat condition to be picked
at from without. Preparedness will
prevent this, while, on tho contrary,
unpreparedness will encourage at
tack, as before.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: It Is to be hoped the Repub-
lisan party will strongly advocate a
plank in favor of compulsory mill
tary training to supplement the ex-
listing compulsory general education
o. the country.
The principal argument advanced
against preparedness and military
training seems to be tho mistaken
notion that eff you are prepared for
war you will have war" 1t Is pre-
ciscly the contrary condition that
got us into this last war, for if we
had been prepared Germany would
not have dared to goad this great ma
ton into the war by her cruelty ag-
gressive actions. We never will
have war. or promote war, except in
sclf-defensc, and this We never
should be so supine as TO seek to

That Office should be filed by a man
whose knowledge of the Constitution
and the history Of the Republic would
be deep and extensive. He should be
the adviser of the President and should
become familiar with the many duties
OF the Presidential Office. He should
be we'll posted on matters affecting
