6. Q. P. PLATFORM
 FOR PROTECTION
IContinued From Page One.)

(Continued From Page One) ed that no enemy can gain command of the sea and effect a landing in force on neither our western or east ern coast To secure these results we must have a coherent and con tinuance policy of national defense. which even in these perilous days the Democratic party has utterly failed to develop. but which we promise to give to the country.
 Tariff.
 'The Republican party stands now, always has. in the fullest sense for the policy of tariff protection to American industries and American labor and does not regard an anti dumping provision as an adequate substitute. Such protection should be reasonable in amount but sufficient to protect adequately American ii- dustry and American labor and be so adjusted as to prevent undue eXa>- tions by monopolies or trusts. + should, moreover. give special attei- ton to securing the industrial :ndep endence of the United States as in the case of dye stuff.
 Through wise tariff and industrial relation our industries can be so or sanized that they will not be only 9 commercial but a powerful aid to na ton defense.
 ''The Underwood tariff act is con- plete failure in every respect. Un der its administration imports have enormously increased in spit eof the fact that the intercourse with Euro pean countries has been largely cut off by the war

 Tt has not in the least reduced the cost of living which has con stantly advanced from the date of it's enactment. Welfare of our people de mands it's repeal and the substitution of a measure which Tn peace as well as in war will produce ample revenue and give reasonable protection to all forms of American production in mine, | forest, field and factory.
 Tariff Commission.
 We favor the creation of a tariff commission with complete power to gather and compile information for the us9 of congress in all mstfsrs re lating 10 the tariff e.
 Business.
 The Republican party has long be- lieved in the rigid supervision and strict regulation of transportation and great corporations of the country For this policy of regulation and supervis- ion the Democrats in a stumbling and piece-meal way, were undertaking to involve the government in business with ti socn W iN-beS. with its own citizens, a great expense to the tax payer and in an inferior product
 The Republican party firmly be lieves that all who violate the laws in regulation of business should be in punished. But prosecution is very different from persecution. and business success. no matter how hon estly attained is apparently viewed by the Democratic party as in itself
 
 choke enterprise and stifle prosperity The Republican party believes in en- couraging American business as it
