Self-Respecting Policy Needed.

"A self-respecting policy, worthy of
the American name, maintaining Amer
lean honor. assuring protection to the
known rights of American citizens un-
der International law, is absolutely
necessary. That does not mean war. 1t
means the security of a self-respecting

The audience frequently Interrupted
him to cheer and applaud. He devoted
much of his speech to his reply to Or.

who, representing the best genius OF
the world are performing the American
service of duty in parts?
Evening star., 1916-10-11
What the Record Means.

''Dr. Eliot pierces the heart Of the
matter" Mr.. Hughes said, and he finds
that the record of the administration
means this: NO intervention by force
of arms to protect on foreign soil
American commercial and manufactur-
ing adventurers who. Of their own free
will have invested their money or
risked their lives in foreign parts un-
der alien jurisdiction
Think of the import of that. you
who represent the best genius Of the
world, and are thinking of using it
abroad" Mr.. Hughes added. Think of
that. you, who it is suggested. are to
be asked to finance the chief undertak-
ings of the world. Think of that,
merchants, sa a1esmen, tellers, clerks and
dealers, who in serving the world take
your place remote from your friends
and safeguards. in communities where
revolutions are frequent and only the
respect for your flag and the power it
symbolizes may stand between you and
ruin or even death.
Had that policy. as defined by pr.
Eliot, been written in the democratic
platform four years ago" Mr. Hughes
said, the democratic party would not
have had the ghost of show had there
been six tickets in the field. That is
worse than molasses to catch flies. It's

Discusses ALTERNATIVES"

Mr.. Hughes said he had heard it said
recently that there was only one al
ternative to peace and that was war.
II studied logic once upon a time, "
he said, "and it had much to say about
those who used reasoning of that de-
scription.
"I have been asked what l would do
with respect to Mexico if I am elected
President. Now, no man on earth can
tell what sort of mess we will find
in Mexico next March. But 7 win say
this: There are certain principles that
we can lay down, to which we propose
only with respect to Mexico, but TO
Latin America, to all nations. If in
trusted with executive responsibility ]
propose to adhere to them.
The first principle is that we Will

ly talk about the rights of small states,
but we will observe them.
1.-The third is that it shall be under
stood that at all events the lives and
nroperty of American citizens will be
protected throughout the world.
The audience cheered.
Quotes Democratic Platform.
Mr.. Hughes read the democratic
platform plank of 1912, declaring for
the protection of American rights
abroad, and asked if it were "molasses
| to catch flies" He declared that the
| protection it promised had been de-
liberately and deplorably refused.
He quoted from a recent speech of
the President outlining the admins

but diplomacy without sense.
