Island in Violation of
Treaty Rights
OPPOSED TO SHIPPING
BILLS COMPETITION

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. o.
Charles Il. Hughes, before an audi
ence that filled the great convention
hall here to its capacity last night
assailed the administration for its
policy toward San Domingo and Haiti.
while il ''professed inviolability of
treaty rights 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 in
volatility OF treaties, for rights I'M
der international law. but when We
speak OF the inviolability Of small
States and of their rights what we
have to say with respect to the
course of the administration in San
Domingo and Haiti, where today
armed rule exists by our marines on
the soil of these States?
Professions TO Match Practice.
1--WE 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.
I'VE are DESTROYS to promote the
success OF the national ticket but
We also desire to have both the Sen
ate and the House, in order that we
may have an administration that will
achieve results"
Mr.. Hughes said he did not be-
lieve in putting the government into
the shipping business Ito compete
with private owners
Wants Correct Policies.
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 pol
icies.
I'VE can perfect our instrumental
ties, II we will set out to do so, so
that the State can act in its sphere
and the nation can act in its sphere
and so that they will not be ground
between the upper and the neither mill
stones.
Il want to say that wherever It can
be done legitimately, 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.
1--WE want a new tone in our life.

is too proud to fight"
