G. O. p. CONVENTION
Friends of Former Food Administra-
tor Mould His Ideas into Declara
ton of Principles.

New York, March 15-Immediate
returns to peace conditions is the key
note OF the Herbert Hoover platform
that Hoover workers hope to have
adopted by the Republican convention

food administration yesterday adopt
ed IAN expression of principals"
drawn from public utterances of Mr..
Hoover. 1t reads as follows.
THE immediate ratification of the
long delayed peace with such reser-
yations as may be necessary to Sc
Gu e its adoption. Participation in
the league of nations, as the most
practical means of avoiding future
wars
Economic and business-like gov
ernment and administration to reduce
the present burden of taxation. A
consolidation of government bureaus
in the various departments on mod
ern business principles.
"A return of normal relations be
prise Railroads TO remain in hands
of the railroad companies. The, mer-
chant fleet now in the hands of the
government TO be sold TO merchants
who will operate the ships under the
American flag in the interests of
American foreign trade. The repeal
of the excess profit tax. which in
creases the cost of living. The or
ganization of proper relations be-
tween capital and labor on the basis
or collective bargaining and the arbi-
tration of disputes The regulation
of corporations which acquire such
power as to place them above eco

guarantees of free speech and free
representation
This action was taken at a meeting

ment was added a paragraph in
which the Hoover adherents express
ed their belief that their candidate
was better acquainted with the re
sources of this country and Europe,
with the needs of this country and the
world, than any other man whose
name has been mentioned in connec-
ton with the Presidency.
