and the sovereign rights Of smaller
states"
Mr. Hughes said:
Il yield to no one IN the respect to
the sovereignty OF states great or
small, for the inyiolability OF treaties,
for rights under international law, but
when we speak Of the inviolability OF
small states and OF their rights what
have they to say with respect to the
course 81 the administration in San
Domingo and Haiti. where today
armed rule exists by our marines on
the soil OF these states'
I'VE want in this country profess
sions to match practice. We want
deeds to match words and We want a
sure policy which will protect the
lives Of American citizens"
Program Constructive.

a busincsElke administration Of
government"

Constructive. not destructive"
I'VE are DESTROYS 10 promote the
success OF the national ticket Mr..
Hughes said, but we also desire to
have both the senate and the house,
in order that we may have an admins
tration that will achieve results
Mr.. Hughes said he did not believe
in putting the government into the
shipping business ito compete with
private owners
II do not believe we can accom-
plish anything that way he said.
what we should do ought to be done
correctly and In line with correct
policies.
I'VE should rescue business from
unnecessary conflict OF authority IN
this country. We do not need. simply
because we are practicing our local
and our national independence, to
have irrceonciliable conflict of au-
thority. That Is misconstruction OF
our constitutional system.
So State and Nation Can Act,
I'VE can perfect our instrumental
ties so that the state can act In its
sphere and the nation can act in its
sphere and so that business will not
be ground between the upper and the
neither millstcnes.
Il want to say that wherever il can
be done legitimateiy the path should
be opened for the honest man to have
a chance to go ahead and win a sue
cess that hurts no one but benefits all
within his radius.
I'VE want a new tone in our life.
] am not one OF the kind that Is too
proud to fight"
