The republican state convention in Hartford last week adopted resolutions dealing entirely with national affairS The paragraph requesting the na- tional convention to declare for worlds conference after the European war in behalf of an international tri- bunal to end war was written by former President William Howard Taft, and conforms to the declaration of the league to enforce peace of which he is president
 The resolutions as adopted are as follows:
 "The republicans of Connecticut, TO. gretting the dissensions of 1919, which delivered the country into the hesitat- ing hands of an incompetent demo. cratic administration, welcome back those members of the party, always true to its fundamental principles, who left at the time, and invite to fellow ship all other citizens who realize with them the duty of the government to foster intelligently the welfare of the nation ard to adopt policies that com- mand the respect of our own people and of the whole world.
 I've urge upon the republican nA- tional convention the adoption or A plank recommending and approving cation of the United States in a worlds conference after the close of this war. in advocacy and support of an lnterDa- tional agreement between the great powers, which shall provide means for settling future irritating difference be- tween peoples by decision of judicial tribunal or conciliation commissiox and furnish them opportunity for de- liberation and cooling time and under which agreement the contracting powers shall pledge the sanitation and to use their united economic and mili- uary forces, pending such submission. to forbid and prevent war.
 Connecticut believes in a reasona- ble protective tariff, amended from time to time at the instance of a practi. cal non-partisan board and condemns the Underwood tariff act which does not protect our wage earners' or indus tries and has not furnished adequate revenue for our country's needs. The natural result of its failure is war tax in time of peace.
