One of two things must happen either millions of men will be seeking work in vain or else there must be thought out in advance the problem Of commercial organization as France and England and Germany are seeking to think out the problem today. Every one of these nations is preparing 10 de- fend it's own market by a protective tariff. The end of the war will end also the opportunities for labor created by the war The millions in the trenches today will be our industrial competitors tomorrow. If we are to save our laboring men from a catastrophe we must plan d tariff protection along sound, just and economic lines.
 To this endeavor l pledge myself and the men who are to be my colleagues.
 In this matter again l differ absO lutely from the policy of the present administration. Democratic platforms have declared that the government has no right to levy tariff duties except for income This is the fundamental faith of the democratic party.
 l pledge myself and those who stand with me to deal with the laboring men the country over. whatever their trade organization, upon the principle of giv- ing the largest protection possible to every American working man and the largest participation possible in the prosperity of our industries with spe cial favors to none.
 Finally 1t is to be remembered that every European government is putting itself behind it's industries; organizing them. encouraging them and suggest ing economies. When the commercial struggle begins anew. the industries of every European country will go into the world market backed by the effec- tive competition and intelligent over sight Of its government
 Our national policy requires that government maintain a strict supervis- ion of business organization. This can be done effectively and yet leave the government free to encourage leEiti- mate and wholesome enterprises. stand for such supervision and control of business. 1 demand also that busi- ness, great and small (and especially the small business) shall be extended fairly and justly. Only under such con- ditions can business pay living wages or compete with foreign manufactur- or compete with foreign manufac- turers.
 In this respect. the present adminis- tration holds a policy entirely opposite. It has viewed business enterprise with suspicion and has made the govern ment a brake to stop the wheels of legitimate industrial progress It has treated the business men of Jhis coCn- try as though they were suspicious characters. It is assumed that laOoT and capital are natural enemies. In four years it has put this country further on the road to class war than has been accomplished in a generation before. The men who stand with me { believe in the honesty of the American working man, they believe no less in the honesty of the American business man. and they believe that the common good IS to be found not in class war but in mutual justice and far dealing not as between capital and labor in tho abstract, bu. as between men and men.
 You know the road we have trav- eled this last four years. Mr Bryan and MT. Daniels are it's monuments of executive efficiency. Our murdered and forsaken citizens of Mexico reveal conception of American citizenship plain enough to see, but a new one for American patriotism to adopt: the monument of class bitterness raised by this administration throws a sinister Continued on Page Two)
