Conditions in Eastern Europe
 Are Disturbing.
ALL ARE TORN BY INTRIGUE
United States Official Gives an Inti- mate View of the Situation After Careful Study-StruggIe for Power on Part of CIiques and Individuals Sure to Bring Change-Hungary Will Starve This Winter.

An intimate view of conditions in eastern Europe is given by an Amer ican official just back from tour through Poland, Czechoslovakia and Austria, and later visit to the Hun- garan capital at Budapest. He says:
 'It seems inevitable that changes must occur in the governments of all these new states of Europe. None of them is stable. Everywhere is the in- trigue and struggle for power and place on the part of cliques and indi- viduals, and beneath IS the unrest of the masses. National independence has not brought Utopia and constitu- tions do not furnish bread.
 "In Poland strong opposition to MT. Paderewski has developed. Be- sidef~.th this Poland will suffer from acufe Hunger this winter. Her people are supporting an army out of all pro- portion to the population to guard her frontiers, and any incident may bring a clash with the CZechS or Germans. The Teschen question is acute and both countries are aflame. l doubt if a plebiscite will settle it satisfactorily or permanently.
 "In CzechOslOvakia there is strong opposition to the present government, which lacks strength in it's personnel. The danger there lies, however, more in the growing jealousy of the Slavs. They have been very thoroughly sub- ordinated and resent the arrogant at- titude of the Bohemians proper. Again, the drastic anti-German policy of the government is source of danger. Czechoslovakia, in physical sense, is better off than any other country over there. She has ample food and fuel and is thus in a commanding position. Her industries can resume with little outside help. With a strong govern ment. that country should survive and prosper. Her danger seems to lie in probable racial antagonisms, with re- sulting political confusion.
 "As for Hungary, few people here believe it will survive as an independ- ent state. Eventual union with Rou- mania seems now inevitable, either with it's own king as vassal, or simply as part of the empire.
 'The Roumanians were quick to see the powerlessness of the allies and simply disregarded the communica- lions from Paris The so-called inter- allied military mission, unbacked by anything real is farce. The other daysa letter was sent to the Rouman- ian commander by this mission, writ- ten in English, and he handed it back with the remark to communicate With him in a language understood by civ- ilized people,
 Sur on Paris Conference.

marked that the Paris conference had sent them a very impolite note, to which they were forced to reply in kind. These are merely illustrative of the conditions there.
 Hungary will starve this winter. It is beginning to starve now. The Rou- manians have stripped it utterly, from seed wheat to the printing presses. They control and censor the mails and wires, and are in fact and deed con- querors.
 Among men with whom I talked in Budapest there is a conviction that if Hungary survives it will be only un- der monarchy. The peasantry want a king, and the old reactionary crowd Is powerful, acute and busy.
 ''As for Austria, every province and every district is a separate govern ment by itself, acting independently and often in defiance of the Vienna government, which is actually con- trolled, as far as any control goes, by these WOrkmen and soldiers councils.
 '"There too, the body of the people seem to want a monarchy. They have had enough of republicanism. We'll informed people say a coup d'etat is not otsimpossible
 s'The Austrians are hopeless regard ing their future and see only a union with Italy or Czechoslovakia if they are to survive The country is bank rupt, stripped of it's resources by the peace settlement, and the people are too worn out to fight. In spite of the treaty there is feeling that some way will be tried to bring about union with Germany"

Tribunal
Advocated to
End All Unrest
Republican Party Is Urged
to Undertake the Task of
Providing Permanent
Solution for the Problem
Compulsory Arbitration
Action Is Demanded to In
crease the influence of
U. S. Throughout World

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The differences between capital
and labor comprise the most disturbing
problem to-day, not only in the United
States, but throughout the entire
world
If the Republican party can devise
an equitable way Of settling all labor
disputes it would not only gain the
confidence of the voters of it's own
country but would immeasureably in
crease the influence of the United
States with other nations.
Can they do this? Will they do it?
Thus far in labor disputes a number
of union men have met and entrusted
the rlghtlng of their grievances to
some professional agitator, who met
with a number of other professional
agitators and elected one of their num-
Der to carry their demands before the
lawmaking bodies Of our country.
Capital and labor, after many months,
would get together and argue over the
questions in dispute, and the general
outcome was-nothing done.
Now, | maintain that if we had per-
manent labor tribunal, supplemented by
law making it compulsory for COM
mittee Of arbitration maintained by the
employers to stand ready at all times
to consider any question in dispute,
along with a like committee chosen
from the actual workers employed by
them, the result would be industrial
peace throughout our land

Sir: In nominating the Republican

Presidential Election of
1916 Is Pointed Out
as a Case i'll Point

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is quite the style now to be
finding fault. Not only the government,
hut all the parties and politics and poll
t;cians in general are under fire. Only
now and then does one meet a man who
seems contented. 1t is rather common
20 hear some one remark that though
he is not a Bolshevist he can under
stand why others are.
The "Intellectuals" calmly admit that
system has fallen out of things, though
thew will not go so far as to become
Socialists" The common people are
bearing heavy burdens, to hear them
tell about it, And every one blames
every one else.
A stranger dropping in on the United
States and hearing most of US talk
would take for granted that the system
Of things we complain about all the time
was imposed on Us, and it would never
occur to him that we are a people who,
every election, determine our own gov
eminent.
But the fact is that if things are in
a terrible mess, we, the so-called COM
mon people, made the mess. A boss rules
only so long as he delivers votes. We
give him his power. If the national
government is under severe criticism
lust now, let US all remember that
those peculiar characteristics Of the
present Administration, which caused
the present unstable conditions, were
clearly evidenced in 1916, when we had
a chance to change.
What the country needs is intelligent
voting. Here is the challenge of the
Republican candidates and platform.
viii they command the intelligent
votes? VIII they be so outstanding
that they need not depend on prejudiced
or partisan or paid-for support? IN
stead Of running on "catch-all" planks,
thinking that there are not enough in
telligent votes to elect, will they dare to
make their campaign educational rather
than bombastic?
Working along such line the party
may lose in many places. But it will be
rendering national service, which, after
all, is the purpose of a party.

To-Day's Prize Letter
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Every Presidential year brings
to the front the question of the enact
ment of a national Presidential pri-
mary law. There are several reasons
for this:
The scandal arising every four years
from the rotten borough system Of
electing delegates to the Republican
National Convention from most of the
Southern States.
The manipulation of the voters by
the machines of both leading parties
In our more populous centers.
The setting at naught by the Repub-
lican convention of 1912 of the almost
uniform popular primary in favor of
Theodore Roosevelt.
The wide divergence in the statutes
Of the several states which now have
a popular direct primary, which often
renders the result either meaningless
or expresses a preference for some
one only locally known.
The problem of a national primary
law presents an unusual number of
difficulties, for the enactment of such
a law would radically change the
method Of nominating candidates for
President and Vice-President. and
would undoubtedly be the forerunner
Of change N our Constitution and
the enactment of national election
law governing the election of either
Presidential electors from each state,
the casting Of states electoral vote
without electors or the imme diate
election of President and Vice-Presi-
dent by the direct popular vote of the
country as whole, regardless of
state lines.
At our present primaries the total
vote cast is often merely nominal
Many voters under our present state
system balk at voting at primary
for delegates whose preference for

protective tariff IS unquestioned, the
time has come when it is easily de-
hatable whether labor longer requires
stimulation and protection in the
United States. The principle of 'the
greatest good to the greatest number"
should rule in legislation if the demo-
cratic theory is to be logically con-
tinued. To my mind it seems that one
answer to all of the three undesirable
conditions mentioned above lies in the
change in our import tariff from one
designed to protect to one for revenue
only.
Cd If lack of sufficient home produc-
ton is a factor in keeping prices high,
tnen the removal of restrictive i'm
port duties would allow entry of goods,
and, under the law Of supply and de-
mand, retail prices for that commody
would fall.
(2) Because of cheaper production
costs in foreign countries the removal
of import duties would undoubtedly
result in rendering Improbable certain
industries in this country
CD Present rates Of foreign ex-
change, while undoubtedly stimulating
to purchasing abroad, are to some de-
gree at least, negatived by our tariff.
1t seems that the change of our tariff
regulations might be tried if we are
truly altruistic and wish to further the
work we entered when joined in the
late European war "for the benefit of
humanity"

Class Rule a Menace;
Suppress 1t, Is Plea
Menace Seen in Any System
That Violates Principle of
Equality in Rights

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Republic of the United
States was established upon the prin-
ciple that in the pursuit Of happiness
IA years it has endeavored to main
tain this equality, irrespective Of any
difference in power, ability or weak
ness. There has been no discrimina-
ton. But We have at last become en-
gagged in most serious class strife,
which threatens to conclude in the
menace Of class domination.
To system of government based
upon our principle, class warfare and
attempted class domination are obvious
dangers, because, despite spacious JUS
LITIGATION urged in their behalf, they
are antagonistic to it's fundamental
purpose. To our Constitution, there
fore, attempted class domination is a
vital danger; accomplished class domi-
nation means its collapse. Hence, our
proper concern is to prevent such dom
nation if we are determined to con-
tlnue our present form Of government.
But class dispute is unavoidable, and
class change inevitable, unless we are
to stagnate In the status quo. How,
then. while not exposing to US the pos
slble disruption Of our Constitution,
may equitable provision be made for
those readjustments?
Affirming it's adherence to the Con-
stitution. and believing that the public
welfare and equality Of citizenship are
paramount TO all other considerations,
the Republican party favors the pass
age OF law making illegal tho In
corruption, or suspension, or attempt
thereof, OF any service necessary to the
community in general, az practices
which tend, or may become instrument
tai. TO class domination.
For the adequate administration Of
this law the Republican party proposes
the creation Of an impartial tribunal
OF justice, whose duty shall be the
investigation of violators of this law,
together with the review of any class
disputes which may properly come be-
fore II, the court to have power, by
means Of fine or Imprisonment. to en-
force It's decisions.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Republican party is urged
to stand for Americanism. 1t is called
upon to present only those issues that
bear the stamp of Americanism. The
opportunities of the party to deserve a
loyal and united support from the great
majority of our people are exceed

deavor to merit this support.

any particular candidate Is wholly
unknown at the time Of the primary
and who later at the convention NAV
totally misrepresent the wishes and
desires of those whose votes sent
them there.
A number Of Southern states now
have primary statutes which REQUIRE
a majority vote to nominate, and a
second primary, and even a third, is
quite frequently necessary to deter
mine the result. This national law
would have to confine and restrict
voters to the primaries of their own
party and would undoubtedly require
uniform system of party enrolment.
Once the national primary law
comes into effect there will be radi-
cal change in our national conventions
as we have come to know them since
the time Of Jackson. They will then
become mere ratifying bodies, for no
convention would dare to go contrary
to the result expressed at the popular
primary.
They will provide the candidate
with platform upon which to make
his campaign and give for all time
deathblow to the dark horse and the
apparently unwilling" but "recep-
tive" candidate. All unit and two
thirds rules, which from their incep
ton have been wholly un-American
and unprogressive, will be abolished.
Delegates from the large states
heretofore dominated by party bosses
will not cut the sorry figure they have
cut in the past in failing to take a
determined stand on the first ballot, as
the pawns of the bosses, and much of
the deals and pickering at conven-
tons, which have always been the
subject of just criticism, will be
done away with.

Tariff for Revenue
Defended as Means
To Reduce Prices
Drawback to Industry Is
Seen in Enforcing Rates
That Will Discourage
Trade of Other Nations
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The suggested plank appearing
in The Tribune under the caption ere
peal of War Acts" stimulates me to
bring up the question of the revision,
if not the repeal, of acts antedating
the war and having to do with the pro-
tective tariff.
There are three general statements
appearing SO regularly in the files of
current comment that their basis on
fact seems to be admitted. These are:
% that the high cost Of living is, at
least in part, the result of underpro
duction; (2) that agriculture is suffer
ing because it cannot compete with the
high wage scales prevailing in (taritf
protected) industries; go that the
cure for much of the European chaos
lies in providing profitable work for
the war-impoverished nations abroad.
While the benefit to labor under the
