is OF deepest concern. and We seek
to make that good fortune permanent
We do not oppose but approve col
lective bargaining because that Is al
outstanding right. but we are unal'
terably insistent that its exercise
must not destroy the equally sacred
right OF the individual. in his neces'
sary pursuit OF livelihood, ANY Amer
lean has the right TO quit his employ
ment. SO has every American the
right to seek employment, The
group must not endangsr the indi'
vidual, and We must discourage
groups preying upon II another and
none shall be allowed to forget that
the governments obligations are alike
to all the people.
We are so confident that much Of
the present day insuificiency and in

Gross expansion of currency and

The American farmer had a hun
dred and twenty millions to feed in
the home market, and heard the cry
Of the world for food and answered
it, though he faced an appalling task
amid handivaps never encountered be-
fore. Contemplating the defenseless-
ness of the individual farmer to meet
the organized buyers of his products
and the distributors Of the things the
farmer buys, | hold that farmers
should not only be permitted but en-
couraged to join in cooperative asso-
Citations, to reap the just measure OF
reward merited by their arduous toll.
Our platform is an earnest pledge
OF renewed concern for this most es
sential and elemental industry and dn
both appreciation and interest we
pledge effective expression in law and
practice. We will hail that CO oper.
alton which again will make profit
able and desirable the ownership and
operation OF comparatively small
farms intensively cultivated and
which will facilitate the caring fol-
the products Of farm and orchard
without the la%:.lentable waste under
present conditions. America would
look with anxiety on the discourage
ment OF farming activity eithc'
through the governments neglect OF
its paralysis by socialistic practices
A Republican administration will be
committed TO renewed regard for ag
riculture and seek the participation
OF farmers in curing the ills justly
complained OF and aim to place the
American farm where 1t ought to be
highly ranked In American activities
and fully sharing the 'iChest good
fortunes of American life.
Becomingly associated with thit
