sOverbuilt or UnderlDuilt

A Motor Truck that is ovcrbuilt IS just
as poor an investment as one that is
underbuilt. A truck that is built to
justify a price made necessary by low
production and resulting high overhead,
and wide margin of profit per truck is
as uneconomic as truck that is under
built to be underpriced.
Bethlehem Motor Trucks are neither
built down to price nor up to justify a
price. They are balanced. They are
the proper. combination Of quality and
price that makes for greatest value. They
are willing to be judged as trucks should
be judged - on their ability to trans

America is the greatest and most

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: | wish to add these suggestions
10 your symposium on planks for the
Republican national platform:
1t would be fitting for the Republican
platform to affirm:
THAT the people of this country are
the sovoreigns.
That no change in the Constitution
should be made without their approval.
That rule by clubs, leagues. associa-
tions or societies is detrimental TO the
best interests Of the nation and a
method should be found for ending i.
THAT 10 man should be eligible to tho
Office of President of the United States
whose father and mother were not born
in this country.
That all sumptuary legislation is
against the best interest of the people
and country and contrary to the spirit
of the Constitution as originally
adopted.
THAT we hold that the excise question,
ike the slavery question. got into the
hands of fanatics and was foolishly and
reckessly handled at the finish.
That in considering the Indulgence
due TO all classes of voters the interest
and influence Of Americans should not
be entirely overlooked" l.. a. L.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: | notice with much interest that
your paper has taken up the matter OF
the Republican national platform and,

much interested in the principle yol
are advancing, namely. that Q hav-
ing those interested in the application

ing thereof. In this way i. may be
that questions in which the people
themselves are vitally interested will
be presented to the attention Of pro
fessional platform builders and become
fundamental part of party principles
The planks suggested by you are a
fundamental aid, vital with the needs
Of this country at the present time, and
| would suggest that instead of wander
ing far atield for issues merely aca-
demlc and becoming entangled in words
and phrases, both parties coniine them
selves to the simple relation of certain
questions to the people of the United
States.

New-York tribune., 1920-01-26

What IS perhaps Of most immediate concern is
the high cost of living problem. During the last
year there have been somewhere in the neghbor
hood Of three thousand strikes and lockouts the
United States, while prices during the last five
years have increased approximately so per cent 1t
is becoming clearer every day that the high cost of
living problem cannot be solved successfully by
strikes and labor disputes When the supply of a
certain product exceeds the demand there is GER
tain to be a decline in its price and vice versa.
Remove Cause of Strikes
The best way to reduce the high cost of lv-
ing, then, is to remove the of strikes and
costly labor disputes, thereby nsuring industrial
peace and maximum production. Profiteering
which prevails to a greater or lesser degree
throughout the country, must be curbed. The
enactment by Congress Of any legislation deemed
necessary to prevent boarding of clothing, food
and other necessares of life undoubtedly would
have beneficial effect but the most important
thing to do is increase production.
Another problem born out of the war is that of
Bolshevism. Much time and trouble could be
saved BY removing the cause of Bolshevism rather
than passing arbitrary and autocratic laws and
deportng radicals. The cause first must be
removed and it's cause is reaction. When the
wheels of progress clog they must be put in
ming order and the trouble removed, lest the
energy behind the machinery which is unrestraned
by natural law the machine to be broken.
That is the logical way to prevent Bolshevism.
Remove reacton! Now that the is ended
there can be no consistent reason why the sedtion
and espionage laws should remain in effect. Repeal
them at once, they among the most auto
cratic and reactionary instruments conceived.
Free speech, peaceful assemblage and the right to
petition for redress Of gevances are the cardinal
principles Of democracy, and there be no real
democracy without them.

I0-day's Prize Platform

. the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The Presidential campa ign of 1920
promises to be the most momentous in history.
Problems Of reconstruction, the labor question,
the league of nations and the ever increasing cost
of living represent only a small percentage Of the
great issues involved
Among the most salient, perhaps, are the labor
question and the league Of nations. A
is ct threshold waiting to be ushered in by
the progressive and farsighted captains OF indus
try we'll the progressive and far-sighted
leaders Of labor.
Labor is going to play prominent part in the
new order of things which will bring prosperity
and better conditions for all. Capital is begin
ming to realize the fact that its success
depends greatly upon the success of labor and
recognize their common interests. Workers should
be granted the right to organize into trade unions
and to bargain collectively. This is not only the
dictum but practice Of of the greatest
employers of labor in the world. Labor should be
treated by capital capital would be treated by
labor. Not until the reactionary employers Of
labor are willing to do this VIII there be indus
trial peace, and without industrial peace there
can be substantial progress prosperity

The League as an Issue

The league of nations, unless I have misin-
terpreted public sentiment, should be made spe-
cia issue in the coming Presidential campaign.
The people should be given the opportunity to
determine for themselves whether not they
to become involved in the league. l believe that
Secretary of State Robert Lansing correct
when he made the statement: ''If the American
people could only realize what the league let's
them in for they would never accept it."
believe the league of nations covenant to be
repugnant to American ideals and venerated
principles, and therefore should be rejected. In
short, l believe that the paramount issue in the
coming Presidential campaign should be- America
