national committee.
Mr.. Hays opened his address with an
assurance that the Republican party
proposes to recognize the women voters
as on an equality in every respect with
their men colleagues and entitled to q
proportionate share in the control and
direction OF the party. He declared
that the Republican party stood for full
political safe determination and held to
no hard and fast rules. Turning to re-
construction 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." =

cry consideration. including the right to
run their own business. Taxes which

There should be a large inheritance
tax on the very large i~nheritances. The
Republican party from its inception has
stood against undue liberalization Of in
dustries and activities. There must be
strong federal regulation but not gov
eminent ownership. The railroad prob
lem will be solved and colved fairly
with provision for a just return on real
investment and with reasonable assur-
inc for essential development and ex-
tensions. We are against ~paternalism
in government and we are against that
form Of pedagogic ~paternalism which
has developed recently in this country.
In regard to labor. Mr.. Hays declared
that the economic situation was simply
a matter of Roosevelt's square deal"

In concluding his remarks the Repub-
lican chairman claimed that the recent
