 to interpret the covenant of great

 are so woven into the history of this
 republic. and very sacred and solemn
 undertaking to utter the faith and as- pirations of the many millions who ad-
 here to that party. The party plat form has charred the way, yet, some how, we have come to expect that in- depreciation which voices the faith of nominees who must assume specific tasks.

 k is not difficult, Chairman Lodge. to make ourselves clear on the question of international relationship. We Re publicans of the Senate, conscious of our solemn oaths and mindful of our constitutional obligation when we saw the structure of world super govern nent taking visionary form joined in a becoming warning of our devotion to this republic. If the torch of eonsti- tutionalism had not been dimmed, the delayed peace of the world and the tragedy of disappointment and Eu- ropes misunderstanding of America easily might have been avoided. The Republicans of the Senate halted the barter of independent American emf nsncs and influence, which it was pro posed to exchange for an obscure and unequal place In the merged govern msnt of the world. Our party means to hold the heritage of American ns-. tionality unimpairsd and unsurrend- cred.
 The world will not misconstrue. We do not mean to hold sloof; we do not mean to shun single responsibility of this republic to world civilization. There is no hate in the American heart. We have no envy, no suspicion, no aversion for any people in the world. We holds<o eur rights and mean to defend, aye, VIC mean to sus- tain the rights of this nation and our citizens alike, everywhere under the shining sun. Yet there is the concord of annity and sympathy and fraternity In. every resolution. There is genu- inc aspiration in every American breast for tranquil friendship with all the world.
 One may readily sense the conscience of our America. am sure 1 under stand the purpose of the dominant group of the Senate. We were not seeking to defeat world aspiration, we were resolved to safeguard Amer lea. We were resolved then, even as we are today and will be tomorrow, to preserve this free and independent re- public.
 In the call of the conscience of America Is peace, peace that closes the gaping wound of world war, and si- fences the impassioned voices of inter- national envy and distrust. Needing this call and knowing as I do the dis position of the Congress, promise you formal and effective peace so quickly as Republican Congress can pass it's declaration for a RpDublican pypcu-
