Points TO Platform Pledge.
Mr.. Hughes read the democratic
platform plank Of 1912 declaring for
protection Of American rights abroad,
and asked if it were 'molasses to
catch flies" He declared that the
protection it had promised had been
deliberately and deplorably refused

president outlining the administra-
TONS idea with respect to the devel-

prise and asserted that 1t was impossi-
bic to square the fine words used,
with the actions of the administra-
ton.
Dollar diplomacy" Mr.. Hughes
said, was that announcement to the
development Of American interests
abroad which was dubbed as some
thing shockingly reprehensible.
Diplomacy without Sense.
In consequence ! may say" the
nominee added, that in respect to
American interests abroad, we have
not only diplomacy without dollars
but diplomacy without sense.

announcement Americans have had. !
Fine Words Only.

{ is said that we may have provided
machinery for branch banks abroad
But what avails such words when
We do not protect American lives and
american property abroad? The ad-
quate protection Of American citizens
nd their interests abroad according
o their right under International law,
$ the cornerstone Of a policy to pro-
note American enterprise through

Mr. Hughes then quoted Or. Eliot.
