' |~*WE>S&RicAN PwSsa ASSOCIATION 1 \ a communication In » — columns does not necessarily Imply editorial endorsement. 1 will not be considered unless signed. THE POLICY OF SURRENDER \ Last fall '8 election showed, plainly 1 enough that President Wilson reprejented a very small percentage even ] at the Democratic party and can now ^ speak only for a remnant who have given their allegiance to the mere ] man. It is beyond the comprehen- ^ ak>n of any unbiassed observer how anyone can make good on a claim that lie is a good American, loyal to Araer- ■ ica and to all its great history, principles' and traditions, and at the same time endorse the policies and conduct of President Wilson and his admini- , atration. Six days must elapse before we shall be have relieved of the nightmare and there are many thousands of the citizens of thii country ■ who ane still fearful that 'even in this short timer some new absurdity may be engineered. Throughout the functioning «f this administration, one definite policy shines forth at eyery stage and that is the policy of surrender. All diffi-j 1 culties were met by. ' surrender. Whether they happened to involve the - rights of the nation with foreign powers or whether it were a matter among the citizens of our own country, if it came within the jurisdiction of the executive, there was a surrender. , . The canal surrender to England obtained from Congress under questionable pretences, was first. A state of surrender to Germany for nearly three years followed. Mexico dishonored us with the consent and, assistance of the administration for all of, the eight years. Colombia engineered through Wilson qnd bis Secretary of State the most disgraceful treaty and surrender ever agreed to by an American diplomatic officer. In short we surrendered to "every nation which urged us to, upon every question which arose, exceptingjn- the case of little Hayti and this small and defenseless country comes into, the picture to show plainly that the administration was not actuated by any , prinicple in its policy with other nations, but was' simply in fear or play-

ing politics. The fourteen points w$re surrendered wdth scarcely a word in their defense, when the real diplomats of the great European nations came into contact with our orfe-cylin-der representation, and the surrender to the Japs of Yap and ChinaJ was another feature of the peace negotia- ' tions. ,i * In domestic matters everybody knows of the surrender to the contractors during the war; of ten billions of our money to foreign nations; the surrender to the fananciers ia ,* leaking the nation underwrite tfrfir « undertakings; the surrender to ihe ' soviet idea when taking railroads and ' industries under government_con- < trol at a cost beyond comprehension, ' which the people of this country will ' be paying for, generations; the sur- : render to labor in the case of the : railroads, coal workers and others. ; Even with its dying breath it seems to ' desire to defend and assist Germany ' against heroic France. Perhaps the greatest stain on its escutcheon, however, js its surrender to the liquor power by its failure to enforce the prohibition amendment No doubt the reward in this case was the "liquor vote" so far as it eould be controlled by the liquor venders, brewers and distillers, but the deaths, murders, thefts, ruined men, suffering women and children and unhappy | homes are all chargeable to tHe power - which not. only did not do its duty % the enforcement of the constitution and its laws, but will always be charged with ignoring the violations if not actually making them possible. Elected to office under the specious plea thatJbe "kept us out of war," he leaves us still at war and suffering needless restrictions, because he has refused to consent to the safeguarding of* the nation's interests and rights and even its sovereignty.
