recognize the absolute right Of exs

lion Of whatever kind between Amer.
lean citizens, whether native born or

Protection OF the Country.
I'm order 10 maintain our peace
and make certain the security OF our
people within our own borders the
country must have not only adc-
quate but thorough and complete ma
iional defense, ready Tor any emer-
gency. We must have sufficient
and effective regular army, and q pro-
vision for ample reserves, already
drilled and disciplined, who can be
called AZ once 10 the colors when

and 10 we'll proportional and
equipped, 50 thoroughly ready and
prepared that no enemy can gain
command Of the sea and effect land
ing in force on either our western or
our eastern coast To secure these
results We must have a coherent and
continuous policy Of national defense
which even IN these perilous days
Inc democratic party has utterly
failed 10 develop, but which VIC
promise 10 give 10 the country.

eminent ownership Of vessels as pro-
posed by the democratic party, be-
cause government ownerships, while
effectively preventing the develop
ment Of the American Merchant Ma
rine by private capital, will ben en-
tirely unable 70 provide for the vast
volume az American freights and will
leave us more helpless than ever IN
the hard grip Of foreign syndieates'

an amendment 10 the constitution OF
the United States as will result in
placing il under exclusive federal con-
troll
