Asiatic immigrants is sound and should be maintained
 Naturalization
 There is urgent need for improve ment in our naturalization law.
 No alien should become a citizen un- til he had become genuinely American. And q test for determining the aliens fitness for American citizenship should be provided for by law.
 We advocate in addition, the inde- pendent naturalization of married women. An Americn woman should not lose her citizenship by marriage to an a1ien resident in the United States
 Free Speech And Alien Agitation
 We demand that every American cit izen shall enjoy the ancient and con- stitutional right of free speech, free press and free assembly and the no f less sacred right of the qualified voter to be represented by his duly chosen representatives; but no man may ad- vocate resistance to the law and no man may advocate violent overthrow CT the government. Aitens within 1uris- diction of the United States are not entitled of right to Iiberry of agitafcn directed against the government or American institutions
 Every government nas the power to exclude and deport those aliens WOO constitute a. real menace to its peace Iul existence. Iub HI ltN 'pA h'AN t'N- 7~ numbers of people affected s'% the i'm migration acts and in view of the viz orous malpractice of the department of justice and labor, an adequate pup lie hear -ng before competent admins trtive tribunal should be assured to all
 Lynehng
 We urge congress to consider the most effective means to end lynchlnB in this country which continues to De a terrible blot on our American clSi- zneship.
 The equality of all citizens under the law has always been q policy of the Republican party.
 Without obedience to law and main- tenance of order, our American insti- tutions must perish. Our laws must be impartially enforced and speedy justice should be secured.
 Public Roads and Highways
 wa favor liberal appropriations in co operation with the states for con- str,ctfon of highways. which will bring about reduction in transportation costs. better marketing of farm prq- duets improvement in rural postal de- livery. as well as meet the needs of military defense.
 Tn determining the proportion of federal aid for road construction among the states, the sums lost in taxation to the respective states by the setting apart of large portions of their area as forest reservaaions. should be con- sidered as controlling factor.
 Conservation is a Republican policy. It began with the passage of the re- clamation act signed by President Roosevelt. The recent passage of the coal, oil and phosphate leasing bill by Republican congress and the enact ment of the water power bill fashioned in accordance with the same principle, are consistent land marks in the de- velopment of the conservation of our national resources. We denounce the refusal of the president to sign the water power bill passed after 10 years of controversy. The Republican party has taken an especially honorable part in saving our national forests and in the effort to establish a national forest policy Our most pressing conserva- tion on the questions relates to oun forests We are using our forest re- sources faster than they are being re- newed The result is to raise unduly the cost of forest products to consun- CTS and especially farmers, who use more than half the lumber produced in America and in the end, to create a lumber famine. The federal govern ment the states and private interests must unite in devising means to meet the menace.
 Reclamation
 We favor d fixed and comprehensive policy of reclamation to increase na-
 
 We recognize in the development Of reclamation through federal action with it's increase of production and taxable wealth safeguard for the nation.
 We commend to congress a policy to reclaim lands and the establishment of fixed national policy of develop ment of natural resources in relations to reclamation through the now desig- hated government agencies.
 The Service Men
 we hold in imperishable remem brance the valor and the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of America who fought in the great war for human liberty, and we pledge ourselves to dis charge to the fullest the obligations which a grateful nation justly should tuifllL in appreciation of the services rendered by its defenders on sea and
 Republicans are not ungratefuf Throughout their history they have shown their gratitude toward the na- tion's defenders Liberal leatslatfar1 for the care of disabled and infirn and their dependents has ever marked Republican policy toward the soldier and sailor of all the wars in which our country has participated. The present congress has appropriated generously for the disabled of the World war The amounts already applied and author ized for the fiscal year 1920-21 for this purpose reached the stupendous sum of S1,1S0,57IS93. This legislation is significant of the party's purpose in generously caring for the maimed and disabled men of the recent war.
 Civil Service
 We renew our repeated declaration that the civil service law shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wherever practicable. The re- cent action of congress in enaeting a comprehensive civil service retirement law and in working out a comprehen- sive employment and wage policy that will guarantee equal and just treat- ment to the army of government work CTS and in centralizing the administra- tlon of new and progressive employ ment policy in the hands of tho civil service commission is worthy of all praise.
 Postal Service
 We condemn the present admfnis- tration for it's destruction of the effi- ciehcy of the postal service and the telephone and telegraph service when controlled by the government and for it's failure to properly compensate em- ployes whose expert Knowledge is es- in fa ,f
