Continued from Page 11.) Asiatic immigrants is sound and should be maintained.
 Naturalization.
 There is urgent need of improve ment in our naturalization law. No alien should become citizen until he has become genuinely American and an adequate test for determining the aliens fitness for American citizen ship should be provided for by law.
 We advocate, in addition, the inde- pendent naturalization of married women.
 Alien Agitation.
 We guarantee to every American citizen his constitutional rights of personal liberty and freedom of speech, but no man may advocate re- sistance to the law, and no man may advocate violent overthrow of the gov ernment.
 Aliens within the jurisdiction of the United States are not entitled to rights of liberty of agitation directed against the government or American institutions. .
 Every government has the power to exclude and deport those aliens who constitute a real menace to its peaceful existence. But in view of the large numbers of people affected by the immigration act a competent administrative tribunal should be as sured to all.
 Law and Order. The equality of all citizens under the law has always been policy of the republican party. Without obedience to law and maintenance of order our American institutions must perish. Our laws must be impartially enforced and speedy justice should be secured.
 With regard to the sale and manu- facture of intoxicating beverages the republican party will stand for the enforcement of the constitution of the United States as it shall be declared by the supreme court.
 la Roads and Highways. We favor liberal appropriations in cooperation with the states for the construction of highways, which will bring about reduction of transporta- tion costs, better marketing of farm products, improvement in rural postal delivery, as well as meet the needs of military defense.
 In determining the proportion of federal aid for road construction among the states the sum lost in tax. ation to the respective states by the setting apart of large portions of theil areas in forest reservations shall be considered as controlling factor. l Conservation.
 Conservation is republican policy It began with the passage of the re. clamation act signed by Presiden, Roosevelt. The recent passage of the coal, oil and phosphate leasing bill by a republican congress and the enact. ment of the water power bill, fashion. ed in accordance with the same princi pie, are consistent landmarks in the development of the conservation o1 our national resources. We denounct the refusal of the president to sign the waterpower bill passed after ten year. of controversy. The republican party has taken an especially honorable part in saving our national forests anC in the effort to establish a nationa forest policy. Our most pressing con servation question relates to our for ests. We are using our forest re sources faster than they are being re newed. The result is to raise undul, the cost of forest products to consum CTS and especially farmers, who ust more than half the lumber produced in America, and in the end to create a timber famine. The federal govern ment, the states and private interest. must unite in devising means to meet the menace.
 Reclamation.
 We favor a fixed and comprehen sive policy of reclamation to increase national wealth and production.
 We recognize in the development oi reclamation through federal actior with it's increase of production ant taxable wealth a safeguard for tho nation.
 We commend to congress a polio, to reclaim lands and the establishment of fixed national policy of natura
