which was faced with a determine
ton to make every sacrifice nee
essary to victory. Billions in liberty
loans subscribed by patriots regard
less of their financial condition
were instantly placed at the dispos-
al of the government, and other
billions were gladly paid into the
treasury through many forms Of
taxation. To have paid by current
taxes more than one-third of the
expense of the greatest war in the
history of mankind is reflection
on the high sense of national duty
with which we of America view the
obligations of this generation. I'm
mediately following the armistice,
measures to modify onerous and
annoying taxation should have been
taken and the republican congress
in which all tax laws must origin
ate. and which for almost two
years has exclusively held the
power to ameliorate this condition,
has not made n single effort or
passed a single law to lift from the
American people o. load of war
taxation that cannot be tolerated
in time of peace. Federal taxa
ton must be heavily reduced, and
IL will be done at once, II a demo-
cratic administration Is chosen in
November without hampering es-

partments, by the elimination of
all others and strict economy eytry-
where, national taxes can be re-

lars yearly. Annoying consump-
ton taxes. once Willingly borne,
now unjustified, should be repeal

fortunes. those of producers
and those derived from industries
that exist by unfair privilege may
be able to carry their present load,
but taxes on the earnings of the

all be disposed to be, the fact re-
mains that except for the exchange
OF products between individuals
comercial units and nations, our
development would be slow. All
of this growth goes on under the
protection of and with the en-
couragement of government. The
least, therefore. that might be rem
dered unto government for this con-
tinuous service Is a policy OF far
dealing. Too often the genius OF
man prompts him to play for gov
ornamental advantage. and the sue
cess which has been achieved In
this particular. has led to the for
nation of groups which seek this
very advantage. We are a busy
people, preoccupied in too large de-
gree with purely commercial con-
siderations. and we have not recog-
nized as we should, that the
failure of government to prevent
inequalities has made 1t possible
for mischevious spirits to develop
prejudice against the institutions
OF government. rather than against
administrative policy. There Is
very important difference here.
This difference bears directly on
profiteering. which Is today the
most sinister influence in American
life. 1t is not new thing in
America, The tribe Of profiteers
has simply multiplied under the
favoring circumstances Of war. For
years, large contributions have
been made to the republican cam
paign fund for no purpose except
to buy a governmental underhold.
and to make illegal profits as the
result of preference. Such larg-
esses are today greater menace
to our contentment of our insti-
tutions than the countless tempo
rary profiteers who are making
mockery of honest business, but
who can live and fatten only In
time of disturbed prices. II j am

ready exist. for compelling these
exceptions to the great mass OF
square dealing American business
men, to use the same yardstick of
honesty that governs most of US in
our dealing with our fellowmen. or

There is another reason for the
fabulous contributions to the pres

Much money. of course, has been
subscribed in proper partisan zeal.

culturists and the small business
man who should be exempt from
this tax. The profiteer and some
OF the highly capitalized units have
used the excess profits tax as a ia
vorite excuse for loading on the
consumer by means of highly in
flated selling prices many times
the amount actually paid the gov
eminent, A necessary condition
to the national contentment and
sound business is just proportion
between fair profits to business
and fair prices to the consumer. 1t
is unquestioned that the. enormous
expansion of public and private
credit made necessary as Il part of
war financing. the diversion of the
products of many industries from
their usual channels, as well as
the disturbance to general business
caused by the withdrawal of mil
lions of men from producing fields.

values and there are now evidence
that q sane adjustment is not far
distant. Deep patriotic sentiment
enthralled our people during the
war and slight attention was given
to the enormous economic changes
that were then in progress and
when observed these changes were
generally accepted as one of the
trials necessary to be endured and
they were submerged in the thought
and purpose for victory. While

Profiteering.

In the analysis of government,
as the events of today enable US
to penetrate the subject. we see the
difference between the old and the
progressive kinds of thinking. The
belief of the reactionaries is that
government should not function
more widely than it did in the past.

Pact Ratification.

We advocate immediate rati-
fication of the treaty without res
ervations which would impair Its
essential integrity, but do not OPP
pose the acceptance of any reser'
walton making clearer or more
specific the obligations of the
United States to the league as
sociates."
The first duty of the new ad-
ministration clearly will be the
ratification of the treaty. The
matter should be approached
without thought of the bitterness
of the past. The public verdict
will have been rendered, and
am confident that the friends OF
world peace as 1t will be promot-
ed by the league, will have in
numbers the constitutional requi-
site to favorable senatorial action
The captious may say that our
platform reference to reservations
is vague and indefinite. Its mean
ing. in brief. Is that we shall state
our Interpretation of the covenant
as a matter of good faith to our
associates and as precaution
against any misun Understanding in
the future. The point is, that aft
er the people shall have spoken,
the league will be in the hands OF
its friends in the senate. and a
safe index as to what they will
do is supplied by what reserva-
tons they have proposed in the
past. Some months ago, in con-
tributed article to the New York
Times, l expressed my own opin-
ion of the situation as 1t then
was. reproduce it here:
There can be no doubt but that
some senators have been con-
scientious in their desire to clarity
the provisions Of the treaty. Two
things apparently have disturbed
them: First, they wanted to make
sure that the league was not to
be an alliance. and that its basic
purpose was peace and not con-
troversy. Second, they wanted the
other powers signing the instru-
ment to understand our constitu-
tional limitations beyond which
the treaty-making power cannot
go. Dealing with these two ques-
tons in order, it has always
occihtu W iiic tAdt tHS iItSi ~ -
tation of the function of the
league might have been stated in
these words:
In giving its assent to this
treaty the senate has in mind the
fact that the league Of nations
which it embodies was devised for
the sole purpose of maintaining
peace and comfy among the ma
tons of the earth and preventing
the recurrence of such destructive
conflicts as that through which the
world has just passed. The CO.
operation of the United States with
the league and its continuance as
a member thereof. will naturally
derend upon the adherence of the
league to that fundamental pur-
pose

least express the view of the
United States and Justify the
course which our nation would M

In Mr. Cox the Democrats have

leader Of the party whose admins
tration has darkened the pages of our
history during the last eight years.
He inveighs against the Republican
party. He says that it's platform does
not acclaim the fine part played by
America in the war. Does he not
know that it is not considered Gus
tomary or in good taste to praise
your own achievements and it was
the Republican party that fought the
war? There was not a male repre-
sentative of the close official party of

edge was. during the war. within the
range of a gun fired by the enemy.
