Foreign Relations
(Al League Of Natlons

The policy of the administra-
tion has been founded upon no
principle and directed by no def
mite conception of our nations
rights and obligations. It has
been humiliating TO America
and irritating to other nations
with the result that after a
period of unexampled sacrifice
our motives are suspected, our
moral influence impaired and
our government stands discred-
tied and friendless among the
nations OF the world.
We favor liberal and general
foreign policy founded upon
definite moral and political
principles. characterized by a
clear understanding of and firm
adherence our own rights. and
unfailing respect for the rights
2 of others. We should afford
full and adequate protection to
the life. liberty and property and
all international rights of every
American citizen and should
require a proper respect for the
American flag; but we should he
equally careful to manifest a
just regard for the rights of
other nations A scrupulous OBJ
servance Of our international en-
gagements when lawfully as
sumed is essential to our own
honor and self-respect, and the
respect of other nations. Sub
ject to a due regard for our in
ternational obligations we should
leave our country free to develop
its civilization along the line
most conducive to the happiness
and welfare Of the people and
to cast its influence on the side
Of Justice and right should oc-
casion require.
lBJ Mexico
The ineffective policy OF the
present administration loss of
lives in that country and upon
our border; for the enormous
loss of American and foreign
property: for the lowering of
American standards Of morality
and social relations with Mexi-
cans; and for the bringing OF
American ideals of justice and
national honor and political in
tegrity into contempt and ridi-
cule in Mexico and throughout
the world.
The policy Of wordy, futile,
written protests against the acts
of Mexican officials, explained
the following day by the presi-
dent himself as being meaning
less and not intended to be con-
sidered seriously or enforced,
has but added in degree to that
contempt and has earned for us
the sneers and jeers of Mxican
bandits and added insult upon
insult against our national hon
or and dignity.
We should not recognize any
Mexican government unless it
be a responsible government
willing and able to give sufficient
guarantees that the lives and
property Of American citizens
are respected and protected,
that wrongs will be promptly
corrected and Just compensa-
tion will be made for injury
sustained. The Republican par
ty pledges itself to a consistent,
firm and effective policy towards
Mexico that shall enforce respect
for the American flag and that
shall protect the rights of Amer
lean citizens lawfully in Mexi-
co to security of life and en-
joyment of property, in connec-
tion with an established interna-

Reclamation

We favor a fixed and compre-
hensive policy Of reclamation to
increase national wealth and
production.
We recognize In the develop
ment Of reclamation through
Federal action with it's increase
OF production and taxable wealth
a safeguard for the nation. We
commend to Congress a policy to
reclaim lands and the establish
mcnt Of a mixed national policy
OF development of natural
resources in relation to reclaim
alton through the now design
ated government agencies.

The High Cost of Living

The prime cause Of the high
cost of living has been first
and foremost a ffty per cent de-
probation in the purchasing
power Of the dollar, due to a
gross expansion OF our currency
and credit Reduced production.
bnrdensome taxation, swollen
profits, and the increased de-
mand for goods arising from a
fictitious bat enlarged buying
power have been contributing
causes in a greater or less de-
gree.
We condemn the unsound
policies OF the Democratic Ad-
.ministration which have brought
these things to pass, and their
attempts to impute the conse-
quences to minor and secondary
causes. Much OF the INJURY
wrought is irreparable. There
is no short way out, and we de-
cline to deceive the people with
vain promises or quack reme-
dies But as the political party
that throughout its history has
stood for honest money and
sound finance we pledge our
selves 70 earnest and consistent
attack upon the high cost OF
living BY rigorous avoidance OF
further imitation in our Govern
ment borrowing by courageous
and intelligent detiation OF over
expanded credit and currency,
by encouragement OF heightened
production OF goods and serv-
ices, by prevention of unreason-
able profits, by exercise Of pub
lie economy and stimulation OF
private thrift and by revision Of
war-imposed taxes unsuited to
peace-time economy.

Social Progress

Tho supreme duty Of the ma
tion is the conservation OF hui
man resources through an en-
lightened measure Of social and
Industrial justice. Although the
federal jurisdiction over social
problems is limited they affect
the welfare and interests of the
nation as a whole. We pledge
the Republican party to the So
luton of these problems through
national and State legislation in
accordance with the best pro-
gressive thought of the country.

Naturalization

There is urgent need OF inn
provement in our naturaliza-
ton law. No alien should be-
come citizen until he has be-
come genuinely American, and
tests for determining the aliens
fitness for American citizen
ship should be provided for by
law.
We advocate in addition the
Independent naturalization Of
married women. An American
woman should not lose her citi-
zenship by marriage 10 an alien
resident in the United States.

Law and Order

The equality Of all citizens

War Powers of the President

The President clings tenaci-
ously to his autocratic wartime
powers.
His veto OF the resolution de-
ciaring peace and his refusal to
sign the bill repeating wartime
legislation, no longer necessary,
evidence his determination not
to restore to the nation and to
the States the form Of govern
ment provided for by the Con-
stitution. This usurpation is in
toierable and deserves the So
verest condemnation.

That Troublesome Apostrophe.

The woman living next door to the

age. And she seemed to put in most
of her time watching the sch00lhouse
so that she could find some reason far
complaints. Many had come and many
had been settled in a way that had
caused sorrow to the boys of the
school. And this spring came new
one. During ball game in the school
yard several of the boys had occupied
as their grand stand SCENTS the roof or
the lady-neXt- doors chicken house.
The principal was inclined to stand
with the boys, so she made their pun
iShment very light. They were to writ"
note of apology to the woman. The
note was written and dispatched one
morning. That afternoon brought
fiery spinster to the building. She said
the note was insult added to outrage.
The principal took the note and
read. I'VE, the boys of the N
