terests.
Rural Credits.
I'VE favor an effective system of
rural credits as opposed to the in
effective law proposed by the present
Democratic Congress.
Rural Free Delivery.
I'VE favor the extension of the
rural free delivery system and con-
denim the Democratic administration
for curtailing and gripping it.
Merchant Marine.
"In the view of the policies adopted
by all the maritime nations to en-
courage the shipping interests and in
order to enable us to compete with
them for the ocean carrying trade,
we favor the payment to ships en-
gagged in the foreign trade of liberal
compensation for services actually
rendered in carrying the mails and
such further legislation as will build
up an edeq3ate American merchant
marine and give UP ships which may
be requestioned by the governGssnt
in time of nati0Ssi emergency.
eve are utterly opposed to the
government ownership of vessels as
proposed by the Denaocratic party be-
cause government owned ships while
effectively preventing the develope-
meat of the American nsrchant mar

unable to provide for the vast volum
of American freights and will leave
