New York Dec 3.-sA method by which
nessto which it give it's efforts. federal
regulation of industry as opposed to gov
ernment ownership and A system Of taxa
ton which Will not kill business initiative,
were named among the national planks
of the Republican party to-inght in an
address by VIII n. Hays, chairman Of
the national republican committee. Mr..
Hays spoke at a banquet given by the
republican women's executive committee
of New York state 20 him and to Mrs.
John Glover South. chairman of the
women's division OF the national commit
tee.
Mr., Hays opened his address with an
assurance that the Republican party pro-
poses to decopnize the women voters as
on an equality in every respect with their
men colleagues and entitled 20 a proper
ticnate share in the control and direction
of the party. He declared that the Re
publican party stood for full political
self-determination and held to no hard
and fast set of rules. Turning to recon-
struction problems he dealt first with
business which, he said, must be treated
with an appreciation of its fundamental
importance, and not as a demagogue S
shuttlecock"
THE business men of the country"
continued Mr.. Hays, ARE entitled to ev-
cry consideration, including the right to
run their own business. Taxes which
Kill initiative must not be levied. There
should be a large inheritar"c tax on the
very large inhertances. The Repub.i
party from it's inception has stood against
undue liberalization Of industries and ac-
tivites. There must be strong federal
regulation but not government owner
ship. The railroad problem will be solv-
ed and solved fairly, with provision for
Just return on real investment and with
reasonable assurance for essential de-
ve,opment and extensions. We are
against paternalsm in government and
we are against that form of pedagogc
paternalism which has developed recent
| ly in this country"
In regard to labor Mr. Hays declared
that the economic situation was simply
matter of RCoseveit's square deal
ITO that end ne said, I'VE must de-
velop reasonable method for honest and
efficient labor to acquire an interest ir
the business to which labor is expected
to give its best efforts. Pending this
development an equilibrium between pro-
duction and wages must be establishedC
| In concluding his remarks the repub\
can chairman maintained that the recent
special session Of Congress had savet
the nation nearly billion dollars anc
that this alone would warrant an "over
