ly the money they need to increase
the productivity Of their land. 1t Is
as important that the financial machin.
cry be provided to supply the demands
| of farmers for credit as 1t is that the
banking and currency system be re-
formed in the interest Of general bust
ness.
Therefore, we recommend and urge
an authoritative investigation of agri-
cultural credit societies and corpora
tons. in other countries, the passing
Of state and federal laws for the es-
tablishment and capable supervision
of organizations having for their pur-
pose the lending Of funds to farmers.
Conservation Policy.
We rejoice in the success of the dis
tinctive Republican policy of the con-
servation of our national resources for
their use by the people without waste
and without monopoly. We pledge
ourselves to continuance of such
policy.
We favor such fair and reasonable
rules and regulations as will not dis
courage or interfere with actual bona
fide homeseekers, prospectors and
miners in the acquisition Of public
lands under existing laws.
In the interest of the general public
and particular of the agricultural or
rural communities we favor legislation
looking to the establishment, under
proper regulations, of parcels post
the postal rates to be graduated under
a zone similar in proportion to the
length of carriage.
We approve the action taken by the
president and the congress to secure
with Russia, as with other countries,
treaty that will recognize the abso.
lutte right of expatriation and that "
prevent all discrimination of whatever
kind between American citizens,
whether native born or allen, and re-
CARELESS of race, religion or previous
political allegiance. The right of asy.
lum is a precious possession OF tho
people of the United States and 1t is
not to be surrendered nor restricted.
The Navy.
We believe in the maintenance OF
an adequate navy for the national de
tense and we condemn the action OF
the Democratic house of representa-
ives in refusing to authorize the con
struction of additional ships.
We believe that one OF the country'l
most urgent needs is revived mer
chant marine. There should be Amer
lean ships, and plenty of them, u
make use of the great American inter
= oceanic canal now nearing completion
: Mississippi River.
I The Mississippi river is the nation
drainage ditch. It's flood waters, gath
cred from thirty-one states and tn,

many million acres Of the richest LAM

e national in scope and the disaster
they produce seriously Affect the ger

not cope with the giant problem
Is hence we believe the federal govern

, Of the burden OF it's control 80 as 4

u the reclamation OF arid lands, and 70
