BY such things we will abide
But 10 certainly beats the deuce.
How he missed the hangman's moose.

No party in any Presidential CAM
palgn has ever shown an intelligent
understanding Of the national ap-
peal that these facts present Over
one-tenth of our population possesses
no conception of our national spirit;
what 1t means and what it stands for.
we ourselves, our statesmen, our Of
fce-seekers, the administrators and
makers of our laws, have taken no ef-
fectlve steps toward turning the
thoughts of our alien peoples to the
splendid ideals that are the insre.
dients of all 100 per cent Americans.
We have denied to the al en- the
vision that filled the eyes Of those
who came on the Mayflowcr, and by
our neglect we have builded the
menace his ignorance portends for
the stability Of our government.
Since the Republican party stands
for real American spirit, is there
any issue to take precedence of Amer
icanization? The history of al the
other great nationalities has been of
naturalization by conquest, by blood
shed. America alone, since 1920, has
been civilization by the peaceful
assimilation Of the peoples of the
world. Now for generation we have
ceased to "assimilate": there is no
melting pot" 1t is a danger that
cannot be overstated. 1t is politi-
cal issue second in importance to
none. STANLEY JOHNSON.

Government Waste

To the Editor of The Tribune
sir: IT there is any one thing ir
which the Democratic Administration
/; has been notorious failure it has beer
N the direction Of governmental econ
omy. The present situation offers the
Republican party splendid oppor.
trinity to remedy the defects hitherto
apparent in government finances and to
maze noteworthy strides in the direc-
ton of efhcient economy, for if econ
oiny is to be effective and not detri-
mental it must be efficient.
Yearly large sums have been appro-
prlated for postoffices, harbor improve
ments and other local works. These
rebound to the benefit of the whole
country, but benefit certain sections
more, than others. Our villages with
populations Of 500 and postoffices cost
ing tens Of thousands have become the
laughing stock of the world. Local
PRIDE induces the community to exert
pressure on its loyal sons near the Cap
lto, and we cannot be severe if these
men follow the wishes of their con-
stituents. The result is an abuse of
position and an unwarranted, an unfal.
drain on the national income
The problem resolves itself into one
Of removing influences" so called, from
the making of appropriations for local
improvements. Reasonable, equable ap-
preparations for the necessary pur-
poses should be the aim. The oppor-
tunity for economy is significant; the
great opportunity is that of the Repup.
lican party.
The plank might read as follows: ::

shall be the naturalization Of those in

To-Day's Prize Letter

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
S.r: Within the last twenty wears
there have landed at the port of New
York City more than 100000 i'm
migrants from the eastern, south
eastern and Mediterranean European
countries and from the western As-
attic countries. Of these one quarter
were totally illiterate.
Most of these aliens came before
the war gave birth to a new political
issue and before the coming of the
form "Americanization." The thought
Of their ever becoming Americans, if
ever conceived in the minds of states
men at all, was negligible one.
They were viewed as "a labor asset"
by Congress, by the government and
by the people generally.
1t is equally true that the idea
Of characterization" - of becoming
"Americans"-was quite as remote in
the minds of these recruits to our
industrial army. From their landing
their trend was away from every
thing American; toward groups of
their native nationality. To quote from
an authoritative report, "they worked
with bosses speaking their own Ian
guagc in shops where English was
never heard. They lived. congested
and improperly housed, in sections
with their own groups. They were
influenced by their own language
speaking labor leaders and padrones.

Amicable Adjustment of All
Disputes Between Capital and

To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: If a strike is considered unwar-
ranted by the employers and justihable
by the employees, a bureau should be
established with the next Administra-
tion where both sides may be heard
This bureau, on receipt of any COM
plant, should send out an investigator
and locate the discord. A trial should
be had and thus the remedy cffectu-
ated.
We want people to settle differences
amicably and not by brute force. We
do not want pickets when we have
courts and competent judges. Unions
are best to serve the majority, but to-
day the unions are not doing the work
they have set out to do. They are no,
expressing the workingmans opinions
but those Of the few leaders who have
become capitalists because they are
