Thinks Contest Timely
Commissioner II. C.. Cumming
Says Voters Are Confused

Sir: The action of The Tribune in
establishing a contest and conferring
rewards for the suggestion Of appro-
pirate planks for the national plat
form of the Republican party is most
opportune. There are great questions
OF foreign and domestic policy, the So
luton Of which must be determined in
the immediate future There never
was time when public opinion has
been more confused. or in which a
voter has been less able to rely upon
the history and traditions of his party
as guide to its probable attitude.
If the contest results in such a crvs-
tallization Of ideas that the attitude
of the Republican party on these oues-
tions may be clearly and conciselv de-
fined by its National Convention it
will have accomplished a great and
useful purpose. 1t seems to me that
the differences Of opinion as to the
proper solution Of the important cues
tions which have arisen since the war
should make the national contest one
of principles and not of men.
l congratulate The Tribune, and hone
that the proposed contest will awaken
q great public interest.

Contest to Lead Voters
To Think for Future
To the Editor of The Tribune

Sir: If the success Of popular gov
ernment depends on people taking an
interest in the government and IN
forming themselves with regard to it,
then | think that contest such as YOU
are now undertaking cannot do other
wise than result in an important ad-
vantage. AS matter of fact, we
know that in the busy affairs of life
to-day the average voter is inclined
to take rather less interest and part
in government than. for the welfare
of the state, he should, and your con-
test, which invites him to turn his
attention to governmental affairs is
good.
It is particularly good because it
leads him to think ahead, and the
more he thinks about plank in
platform the more he will want to
think and the deeper he will be led
in the subject Unquestionably. too.
many valuable suggestions will be
made for which the men who will
frame the national platform NAV feel
duly grateful and which may have an
important influence on much of the
legislation which will be enacted
subsequent to the next election.

terlally expedited the conclusion
Of the conflict.
In view Of these considerations
to say nothing Of the physical
and mental benefits Of military
training, or the fact that prepared
ness is the best preventive Of war
1T is difficult to see what objec-
1'ons can be weighty enough to
counteract universal trainings
manifold advantages. The ques-
tlon OF expense is q serious one,
10 be sure; but what sort of econ
omy is that which, after spending
$32,000,000,0O0 in two years Of
war, quibbles over 5000, 900, 900 a
year for vital need?
1t appears that the burden Of
the opposition lies in the dread Of
so-called "militarism.' Analyze
this fear and, where democratic
institutions exist, you will find it
meaningless; it constitutes a con-
venient tool for demagogues to
rally the timid and thoughtless to
absurdly pacifist standards.
Let the Republican party ex-
plain away this "militarismopho-
bia"-if that hybrid expression
may be employed-and the stabil-
ity of the common defense will be
assured. T. W. FRIEDMAN.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Republican party need find
no difficulty in determining exactly its
position in the coming campaign The
party need only look back upon its
history. The result will be clear. CON
else, and so definitely true that the
American people will turn to it.
Since the days Of Lincoln tho Re
publican party has recognized that life
moves forward. The party therefore,
with Lincoln and other famous lead
ers, was animated by one purpose, to
move forward with the intensfcation
and clearer definition of the ideals of
our country. To the Republican party
justice was never metaphysical prob
lem; it WAS only problem of Ameri-
can life, requiring a human interprc-
tation and application Of the principle
of evolution
The Republican party saw what jus
tlce was at every crisis in our history
Shall there be difficulty in seeing what
1t Is now?
Justice means to-day removal from
our midst of every one who after far
Judgment is found guilty of so disa-
greeing with our institutions as to wish
to overthrow them That tribe Of
pariAhs must gol But not fv wildly
and indiscriminately suppressing
every voice that is raised by deporting
every man to whom suspicion of radi-
clalism attaches, will we succeed in ac-
complishing this. Those who are guilty
must not receive mercy, but we must
be certain of their guilt Laws made
and then enforced, sternly but equi-
tably, will bring this about, for isn't
this nation of laws?
Justice from America to the outside
world means help to the most of our
ability But we must not forget that
this means careful examination of re
sources, wisdom in the manner of ex-
tension of aid, and an understanding
that although the world no longer can
be demarcatcd the Western Hemi-
sphere has definite duties to itself.
These must always be fulfilled
Justice to the great material insti-
tutions of our country means but look
ing into the Constitution. The Con
stitution is no rigid instrument; it is
like life, growing. evolving, applicable
always. No confscation without due
compensation. A. ROTHMAN,

Americanization Made
The Paramount Issue
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: These are momentous davs. The
paramount Interest Of the nation is
true Amer1canization. The majesty of
Americanism must needs assert itself
Self preservation demands it.
In combating subversive agitation
and carrying forward the process of
reconstruction the fact must be i'm
pressed upon the minds of the aliens
in our midst that while the preserva-
ton Of individual liberty Is the ulti
mate function of representative gov
ernment, the perpetuation and security
of this blessing necessarily must rest
on the foundation Of obedience to the
laws of the land.
1t is of vital Importance to exercise
the strictest supervision over immigra-
ton. The policy pursued in the past
of permitting the offscouring of the
world to be dumped upon our shores
has borne undesirable fruit. Nor has
1t helped the American wage Garner
to attain the more favored position
which is his by every consideration of
right and justice.
But America has abundant room and
hospltable welcome for the better
class of immigrants who conform to
the standard Of principles upon which
her greatness rests.
So let Americanization go on until
every alien now in our midst shall be
proud to declare II am an American
citizen"

Tribune, says Much time and trouble
could be saved by removing the cause
of Bolshevism rather than by passing
arbitrary laws and deporting radicals
Pending removing the cause, what is
to be done with the radicals? We have
institutions for the insane and under
developed. Our government should
harness in training camps of industry
under military supervision these forces
of the overdeveloped barbarism still
upon the earth. The dross should thus
be crushed out and the red gold re-
fined into the implements OF ciyiliza-
ton.
We have explored the air, harnessed
the waters, and at least travelled, If not
made ourselves at home, in the waters
under the earth. Now two greater
problems arise:
l. The harnessing Of our volcanoes
2. The efficient utilization of human
volcanoes.
History has given US a Samson who
went down in victory, an Edison who
rises on the wings Of victory Who
will arise to harness the elemental
forces IN this world? a great work
awaits the man.

To the Editor of Tho Tribune

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: "To provide for the COM
mon defense" is the most funda-
mental duty of any government: it
is so basic and elemental a func-
tion that it is the only specific OBJ
Ject proclaimed in the Preamble
to the Constitution of the United
States. No internal problems can
be considered before the question
of defense, and it's present neces-
sity must be obvious to every
thoughtful citizen. So far from
perfection is the existing status Of
international society that future
wars seem more imminent now
than they did early in 1914; a
talse sense of immunity or secu-
rity in this respect is positive
peril.
While, to the superficial OBJ
server, the adequacy of our pres
ent military system seems to have
been strikingly demonstrated in
the recent war, no misconception
can be further removed from the
truth, tor our generals are unani-
