GREAT PROBLEMS AHEAD

The potentiality for usefulness to the country and the party of such a committee is very great. The prob- lems which are ahead of us are i'm measurable in magnitude and complex ity. The majority of the citizenry of the country believe that the republican party may best be trusted with the so- lution. The country wants and is en- titled not only to this faith in the honesty of intention and fundamental ability of the republican party, but to a well defined statement of purpose and party programme. It is obvious that the convention can do fuller jus tice to platform commensurate with the needs if they have for their con- sideration the reliable material thus furnished by some of the best brains in the party working for five months in the evolution of the suggestions
 Underlying the whole plan is the great fact, which the national commit tee recognizes, that there rests on the republican party the tremendous re- sponsibility of accertaining fully the needs of the nation. and frankly, hon. estly and definitely stating the funda- mentals of the partys plan for solution of the problems in a comprehensible programme of constructive measures. Then, recognizing that the platform es- tablishes a contractual relation be- tween the party and the people, it shall be the supreme duty and purposes of the party when entrusted with power to square it's performances with it's promises"
