We condemn the Democratic admins

We reiterate our unqualified approvaI
OF the action taken in December. 1911

with Russia, as with other countries a
treaty that will recognize the absolute
right of expatriaton and prevent all
discrimination of whatever kind between

and regardless OF race, religion. or pre-

We renew the pledge to observe tbis
