LOUIS F. POST
VIII Not Be Decapitsted 1t Demsnd
OF American Legion

President Wilson, through Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson, has replied to
the demand of the American Legion
that Louis F. Post. Assistant Secre-
tary Of Labor, be removed from Of
fee. Mr.. Post, will remain in the gov
ernment service, with the approval
and complete confidence of the Presi-
dent.
The answer was transmitted
through Private Secretary Tumulty
to Colonel Henry. D. Lindsey. chair
man of the Legion's executive COM
mittee.
The statement prepared by Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson and approved
by President Wilson is as follows:
Louis F. Post is one of the truest
Americans 1 have ever come in con-
tact with. He is a thorough be-
lever in democracy. He has no sym
pathy with any alien or American
who believes in, advocates or teaches
the use of force to overthrow the
government of the United States. He
has, however, a profound belief in
and reverence for the Constitution
of the United States, including the
part which provides for its own
amendment. He has, therefore. faith
fully carried out the instructions
given by me as Secretary of Labor
concerning deportation cases. They
are, in substance, as follows:
II. No person shall be arrested
except upon sworn affidavit based
upon information and belief.
"'2. No person when arrested shall
be held incommunicado.
"'3. Every person arrested shall be
entitled to council Immediately upor
being taken into custody.
"4. They shall be confronted with
the evidence, and shall be permitted
to furnish testimony and be heard in
their own behalf.
"' Excessive bail shall not be re-
quired'
These safeguards of American lib
erty having been provided, if it is
then shown by the evidence that any
alien is deportable under the so-called
anarchistic laws, we will deport him
with as little compunction as we
would attack an invading enemy. We
will not deport any one simply be-
cause he has been accused or because
he is suspected of being red We
have no authority to do so under the
law.
"Mr. Post has faithfully carried out
these Instructions, and am satisfied
ranks among the ablest and best ad-
ministrative officers in the govern
ment service

WOULD
AMEND ANTl.TOBACCO BILL

Following is the resolution on the
anti-cigaret bill adopted unanimously
by Salt Lake Post No. 2, American
Legion. which would put teeth" in
the bill and extend its scope in many
directions:
Whereas, the service men of this
city and state during their period of
service have steadfastly stood for the
stern repression of any and all forms
of hilarity, frivolity and amusement
and for the development of piety and
gloomy seriousness; and,
"Whereas, the admittedly self-con-
stituted guardians of the public NOR
ais most cordially co-operated with
the service men in passing the pro-
were absent in France; and,
Whereas, there is now before the
legislature of this state bill regu-
lating the use of tobacco and it is
feared that the legislature will not
be sufficiently mindful of the duty it
owes to service men and citizens gen.
orally, effectually to prevent the ter
ribly dangerous evils which are now
threatening the service men in par
ticular; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we, the members Of
Salt Lake Post No. 2. American Le-
gion, respectfully recommend to the
legislature the following amendments
to the anti-tobacco bill:
81. That the state of Utah shall
establish and support in each county
of the state home for fallen men
who are addicted to the use of to-
bacoo, so that such men may be cured
at public expense on the basis of the
Keeley Cure.
"2. That the manufacture, sale or
use of tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa,
and soup above the temperature Of
rs degrees be prohibited.
SO. That it be made misdemeanor
to manufacture or use candy, pie or
cake, and that sugar be rationed to
each inhabitant of the state at the
rate of eight ounces per day.
"a That the use of theatres, NOV
ing picture shows, drug stores, news
papers, street cars, railroad trains
and automobiles be prohibited on
Sunday, and that theatres and moving
picture shows be allowed to run on
week days only when the theme Of
their performance comes from the
Bible and has been properly censored
by committee consisting of three
men and three women, each Of whom
shall have reached the age Of 70
years"

succeeded the British Empire as the
center of the worlds credit.
1t becomes a grave question wheth-
er the United States is to attempt
the policy of Great Britain Of secur-
ing foreign trade by extending for
eign credits, or of securing foreign
trade after. the German method by
promoting an exchange Of products.
In either case will its controlling mo-
tive be, as was in the case of each Of
these, determination to secure the
mastery of the world? World trade
secured thru a fictitious grant Of for
eign credits is fraudulent in its very
nature. World trade secured by an
exchange of products to the mutual
advantage of both parties to the
trade is just proposal, but If done
with the purpose of obtaining world
dominion, it will bring the hatred of
the race to America, just as effec-
lively as these policies have brought
to the London plunderers and to the
German aggressors the distrust and
hatred of mankind.
1t is rumored and it is believed by
many; it is hoped for by few; it is
feared by more, that the experts in
production and in organization who
were responsible for the vast and
rapid development of economic Ger
many have gone to Russia, and the
fear is that there is to be repeti-
tion of the conflict between the pol
icies of the foreign credit as the ba-
sis of foreign trade or mutual ex-
change of products as the basis of
foreign trade may be fought out
again with New York and Moscow
figuring in the places formerly oc-
cupied by London and Berlin.
When a national policy of mutual
international exchange of products.
with commerce relieved from the dis
credit of being used as q method of
plunder shall achieve world leader
ship, then lasting peace will be
achieved and trade will become an in
strument of mutual service, not a
process of extortion.
