Arizona republican., 1920-06-11

We welcome women into full par ticipation in government affairs and into the Republican party. We earn estly hope that legislatures who have not acted upon the suffrage amend ment will ratify, the amendment to the end that all of the women of the na- tion of voting age may participate in the election of 1920, which is so inn portant to the welfare of our country.
 Social Progress
 The supreme duty of the nation is the conservation of human resources through an enlightened measure of social and industrial justice. Although the federal Jurisdiction over social problems is limited they affect the welfare and interests of the nation as a whole. We pledge the Republican party to the solution of these prob lems through national and state legis- lation in accordance with the best pro- gressive thought of the country.
 Education and Health
 We endorse the principle of federal aid to the states for the purpose of vocational and agricultural training.
 Wherever federal money is devoted to education, such education must be so directed as to awaken in the youth the spirit of America and a sense of patriotic duty to the United States.
 A thorough system of physical edu- cation for all children up to the age of 19, including adequate health super vision and instruction, would remedy conditions revealed by the draft and would add to the economic and in dustrial strength of the nation. Ma tional leadership and stimulation will be necessary to induce the states to adopt a wise system of physical train- ing.
 The public health activities of the federal government are scattered through numerous departments and bu- reaus. resulting in fnefficiency. dupli- cation and extravaganza. We advo- cate the greater standardization of the federal functions. and in addition urge the better coordination of the work of the federal, state and local health agencies.
 Child Labor
 The Republican party stands for q federal child lnbor law and for it's rigid enforcement If the present law be found unconstitutional or ineffective. we shall seek other means to enable congress to prevent the evils of child labor.
 Women have special problems of em- ployment which make necessary special study We commend congress for the permanent establishment of the wo- mems bureau in the United States de- pertinent of labor to serve as a source of information to the states and to congress.
 The principle of equal pay for equal service should be applied throughout all branches Of the federal government in which women are employed
 Federal aid for vocational training should take into consideration the spe- oial aptitudes and needs of women workers.
 We demand federal legislation to limit the hours of employment Of wo- f1na the product Of which enters in'o inter- state commerce.
 Housing
 The housing shortage nas not only compelled careful study of ways of stimulating building. but is has brought into relief the unsatisfactory character of the housing accommodations of large numbers of the inhlhitants of cur cities. A nation Of home owners is the best guaranty of the maintenance of those principles of liberty and law and order upon which our government is founded. Both national and slate governments should eneaurasc in all proper wsys the acqu ring Of homes by our citizens The United States should make available in formation on housing and town plaf- ming cchected during he MAI Tlsis informa ion should be kept usl to date and made currently available.
 Hawaii
 For Hawaii we recomn end: Federal assistance in AInerieanizing and ed ucating their greatly disporporrionate foreign populations; home rule, and the of the Hawaiian race.
 The plank on the league of nations says:
 Foreign Relations
 A League of Nations.
 The foreign policy Of the adminis- traitor has been founded upon no prin- ciple and directed by no definite con- ceptfon Of our nation rights and ob- ligatIons It has been humiliating to America and irritating 10 other na tions with the result that after q period of unexampled sacrifice our motives are suspected. our moral influence im- paired and our government stands dis credited and friendless among the na- tions of the world.
 We favor a liberal and generous for eign policy founded upon definite moral and political principles, characterized by a clear understanding of, and firm adherence upon our own rights and un failing respect for the rights of others. We should afford full and adequate protection to the life, liberty and prop erty and all international rights of every American citizen and should re- quire a proper respect for the Ameri- can flag but we should be equally careful to manifest a just regard for the rights Of other nations A Scrupu- lous observance of our international engagements. when lawfully assumed. is essential for our own honor and self respect and the respect of other na- tions.
 Subject to a due regard for our inc ternational obligations we should leave our country free 10 develop it's civilization along the line most con ducive to the happiness and welfare Of the people, and to cast it's influence on the side of justice and right should occasion require.
 Mexico
 The ineffective policy of the present administration in Mexican matters has been largely resonsible for the con tinued loss of American lives in that country and upon the border; for the enormous loss of American and foreign property: for the lowering of American standards of morality and social reIa- tions with Mexicans; and for the bringing of American ideals of justice and national honor and political in- tegrity into contempt and ridicule in Mexico and throughout the world.
 The policy of wordy, futile written protests against the acts of Mexican officials, explained the following day by the president himself as being
