Capital and labor We recognln m Indisputable the right of ' labor te organize and to bargain collectivelj but not to strike when such actio violates the law or menaces publu welfare. To protect the nation as J whole from Injury by controversiei which 'concern ctirectly-only a small minority, we pledge the enactment oi legislation to increase the account ability of both unions and employers and to compel the arbitration of those disputes which affect the production and distribution of the necessaries of life. W. R. Fishre, Princeton, N. J. Safeguards for IT. S. Urged. Foreign relations (First prize.) We believe that the United States has an international duty, but we do not believe in internationalism. The re publican party has favored and still favors the immediate ratification ot the treaty of peace, but with such reservations as will safeguard our traditions and interests. We are not opposed to a league of nations "where international law may be codified and disputes arbitrated, but we are un alterably opposed lo the league of na tions in its present form. The inter ests of the world and ourstVyes de mand that we continue our .policy of avoiding entangling alliances. Ray mond C. Ellis, 177 Montague street, Brooklyn. Americanization It is. impossible for us to expect the automatic as similation of a large alien population. "Americans can best be made by edu cation. Accordingly, the republican party advocates the extension of Americanization work among our aliens by the enactment of laws re quiring, as a condition precedent to admission to citizenship, attendance upon a school, maintained at public expense, where the alien would re ceive instruction in the English lan guage and citizenship for the period between his declaration of intention and his examination for admission to citizenship. A. A. Gross, 44 Neal street, Portland, Or. Universal Training Favored. National defense The republican party, believing that the rights and privileges of citizenship carry with them duties and obligations, favors a system of universal military training modeled upon the Swiss system. Mabel F. Yeomans, Cornell university. Cost of living The cost of living is rapidly threatening the ' national safety, and is one of the chief .causes of the growing spirit of unrest. Wo favor a thorough investigation of the causes of high prices and pledge our party to do its utmost to reduce them. We appeal to capital and labor to work together in harmony for in creased production. This is without doubt the first step that should be taken to lower the cost of living Ruth L. Benjamin, 46 West Eighty- third street. New York city. Power Usurpation Rapped. The constitution This republic is a government of checks and balances and of distributed powers, and it can not truly function without a faithful observance of this principle. We con demn the usurpation of power exer cised by the executive during the Wil son regime and pledge ourselves to restore to the different branches of government their true canstitutional power. Richard Marlowe, Elmira, New York. Bolshevism. (Second prize.) The republican party realizes that the country should not be stampeled by passion or prejudice into any too pre cipitate action against radical forces. The right of free speech and assembly should be jealously guarded. In pros ecuting radical agitators, the consti tutional distinction between parties advocating revolutionary change with the use of force and those advocating evolutionary change by constitutional methods should be recognized. Ern est M. Spaulding, 28 Richardson Hall, Dartmouth. Kdncatlon Secretary Wanted. Education The republican party favors the establishment of a national department of education, with a sec retary of education, who shall "have a place in the president's cabinetlr-Cy-rus G. Milne, 3936 Fulton street, Woodhaven, Long Island.

Specifically, we favor more extensive irrigation and reclamation, instruction in the rota tion of crops and in efficient agricul tural methods, regulations to insure less waste in the extraction of min erals, more adequate prevention of forest fires, utilization of water po'fer for fuel, and improvement of waterways to render them navigable. The federal ggvernment should also exercise greater care in the disposi tion of lands, so that only legitimate sottlers may be accommodated. J. W. Friedman, 26 New York avenue', Brooklyn, New York. Taxation The republican party ad vocates the repeal of all war taxes that kiH initiative, as well as the spreading of our war debt over a long term of years, and we pledge the party to the development and execu tion of a plan for the reduction of taxation. . We further advocate such a reduction in the cost of administra tion as will make possible the reduc tion of taxation which we promise. C. A. Lemmers, budget and efficiency commissioner.

Definite Mexico' Policy Urged. Mexican Question To secure from infringement the rights of Americans in Mexico and to render our southern border safe from attack are among the first duties of the government. To this end we believe a definite policy uniformly asserted far more effectual than neglect alternated With unsup ported threats.
