] am in receipt OF your reques;
for a statement OF what consider
to be the most important issues be-
fore the Republican convention.
The platform will doubtless be
construed around two general
themes; first the party view as to
the many measures before the cOua-
try; second, less tangible but OF even
greater Importance, the ideals that
the party will represent.
Never before has il been so i'm
portant that the party should con-
vey its position in these matters to
the public through definite and posi-
tive proposals in order that convic-
ton may be given not only Of sin
cerfty but in demonstration Of the
vital necessity of the party itseh
to the nation.
Old Methods Distrusted.
The war has stirred our old con-
cepts Of moral and economic is
sues; IL has created a distrust for
old methods and has raised a com
plex Of new visions. Not since 1861
has there been such n looseness OF
party ties, such a lack Of confidence
in party machinery and methods.
such a scrutiny and searching OF
parties, of their promises and OF
THAR nurnoseS Our people arc
gropine for something far greater
than election platitudes.
A discussion of the many issues
could not be set out in the space
of a newspaper article. for such
statements arc Tabdeless unless
they embrace specific. direct, con-
structive methods Of solution.
In fact. all the different party
platforms will urge some form OF
a league of nations, a business re-
organization of Federal admins
tration. an economy of goyernme Mt.
national budget readjustment
OF taxation. reduction of cost Of
living, suppression OF profiteering.
betterment of agricultural indus

capital and labor. better distribu-
tion OF wealth, an American mer-
chant marine, maintenance OF civil
liberty. extension OF education. i'm

The largest and most destructive of these were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi. Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi. Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois.
 Tn these events of horror $50 per. sons were killed, 1.50O were injured, 13,OOO were made homeless, about 3O.. l 900 families needed help. the property loss was nearly s100,0o0,OOO and al. most q 900, 900 In relief funds, not in. cluding emergency supplies was ex. | pended
 To the sufferers from all disasters daring the year. the American Red Cross sent sI20,0Oo worth of sup plies, no Red Cross nurses and seven special relief trains. To meet the needs of the stricken, the orEsnizs Ion set up ten relief stations, operated thirty food canteens and as many emergency hospitals One hundred and twenty-five Red Cross chapter rave disaster relief service.
 If disaster ever strikes this town ol county. the citizens can be absolutely sure the Red Cross will be right or hand to help them in every way.

One of the most vital parts of ''The Bottom of the World" the Sir Ernest Shackleton Antartic Expedition pie ture, is that which shows the thrilling experiences of the great British ex- plorer and his men during the time they were battling to win their way back to civilization.
 Going into the great south ice from South Georgia, the southermost from tier of inhabited land. Shackleton and his men pushed toward the pole which not long before had been discovered by Amundsen. until they were three degrees away from it when their ship, the Endurance, was caught in the ice and finally crushed. From here they started back over the ice, drawn by dogs among hazardous mountains of white glistening ice
 At last they camped, and the ice upon which they had stopped broke off from the great main field, and drifted For ten months they were unable to get off this great cake of ice drift ing in the cold seas of the unknown South. Then then they came to such a place that they could make the dash Shackleton took to the sea in the James Caird," life boat and went 800 miles to South Georgia, where he arrived almost exhausted, but thank ful for his escape.
 "The Bottom of the World" shows the greatest wealth of polar scenes ever but on the screen. The pictures were taken by a camera man who ac- companied Shackleton, and who man aged to save his films throughout the dangerous return, and the many other vicisstudes which beset the expedi- tion.
