relations between this country ana the countries of Latin AmSrica.
 Philippines
 We renew our allegiance to the Philippine policy, inaugurated by Me Kinley, approved by congress and con- sistently carried out by Roosevelt and Taft. Even in this short time 1t has enormously improved tne material and social standing of the islands. The Philippine people are constantly in creasing in their government and if persisted in, will bring still greater benefits in the future.
 We accepted the responsibility of the islands as a duty to civilization and the Filipino people. To leave with our task half done would break our pledge, injure our prestige among nations and imperil what has already been accom- plished.
 We condemn the democratic admin istration for it's attempt to abandon the Philippines which was prevented only by the vigorous opposition of re- publican members of congress, aided by few patriotic democrats.
 We reiterate our unqualified ap proval of the action taken in Decem- Der 1911 by the president and congress to secure with Russia, as with other countries a treaty that will recognize the absolute right of repatriation and prevent all discrimination of any kin6 between Americans whether native born or alien and regardless of race re- ligion or previous political allegiance. We renew the pledge to observe this principle and to maintain the right of asylum which is neither to be surren- dered nor restricted and we unite in the cherished hope that the war which is now desolating the world may speedily end with a complete and lasting res toration of brotherhood among the na- tions of the earth and the assurance of full equal rights, civil and religious 1 to all men in every land.
 Protection of the Country
 ''In order to maintain our peace and make certain the security of our peo- pie within our own borders the coun- try must have not only adequate but thorough and complete national de- fense, ready for any emergency We must have a sufficient and effective regular army, and a provision for am pie reserves. already drilled and dis ciplined, who can be called at once tC the colors when the hour of danger comes.
 We must have a navy so strong anC : thoroughly ready and prepared tha no enemy can gain command of tn, sea and effect a landing in force or either western or eastern coast T, | secure these results We must have coherent and continuous policy of na tional defense, which even in thes perilous days the democratic party ha utterly failed to develop, but which W promise to give to the country. Tariff
 The republican party stands no, , and always has, in the fullest sense fo the policy of tariff protection to Amer ican industries and American labo } and does not regard an anti-dumpin 5 provision as an adequate substitut, Such protection should be reasona bl , in amount but sufficient to protect ad equately American industry and Amer . lcan labor and be so adjusted as f . prevent undue exactions by monopo | lies or trusts. It should, moreoye give special attention to securing tb industrial independence of the Unite a States, as in the case of dyestuffs. F Through wise tariff and industri; legislation our industries can be so or d ganlzed that they will not be only - commercial but a powerful aid to ma tional defense.
