Results of Conference

This historic conference paved
the way to avert the danger Of
renewed hostility in Europe and
restored the necessary economic
stability. While the military
forces of America have been re.
duced to a peace footing, there
has been an increase in the land
and air forces abroad which con-
situte a continual menace to the
peace Of the world, and a bar to
the return of prosperity. We
firmly advocate the calling of a
conference on the limitation of
land forces, the use of submarines

1.-The conservation Of human re.
sources is one Of the most solemn
responsibilities Of government.
There IL an obligation which can.
not be ignored and which demands
that the federal government shall
as far as lies within its power give
to the people and the States the
benefit Of its counsel.
The welfare activities Of the
Government connected with the
various departments are already
numerous and important, but
lack the coordination which Is
essential to effective action. To
meet these needs we approve the
suggestion for the creation Of a
cabinet post Of education and
relief.
I'VE believe that in time Of
war the nation should draft for
it's defense not only its citizens
but also every resource which
may contribute to success. The
country demands that should the
United States ever again be called
upon to defend itself by arms, the
President be empowered to draft
such material resources and such
services as may be required, and
to stabilize the prices Of services
and essential commodities, whether
utilized In actual warfare or

Crux of the Problem

1.-THE crux Of the problem from
the standpoint Of the farmer IL
the net profit he receives after
his outlay. The process Of bring.
ing the available price Of what
he buys and what he sells closer
together can be promptly expe-
dited by reduction in taxes, steady
employment in industry and en-
ployment in business.
This process can be expedited
by lower freight rates, by better
marketing field cooperative meth
cd, and a moro scientific organize
ton of the physical human ma
chine Of distribution and by a
greater diversification Of farm
products.
I'VE promise every assistance
in the reorganization Of the mar
keting system on sounder. and more
economic lines and where diversi.
fication IL needed government as
distance during the period Of tran
sition. The vigorous effort Of this
administration towards broadening
our export market will be con.
tinued. The Republican party
pledges itself to the development
and enactment Of measures which
will place the agricultural inter.
eStS OF America on a basis Of eco
non1ic equality with other indus
try, to insure its prosperity and
success.
I'VE favor adequate tariff pro-
lection to such Of our agricultural
products as are threatened by for.

I'VE favor, without putting the
government into business, the es.
adjustment Of a Federal Reserve
system Of organization for cooper

and the promotion Of mutual un.

The Washington times., 1924-06-12

In dealing with agriculture,
the Republican party recognizes
that we are faced with a funda-
mental national problem and that
the prosperity and welfare Of the
nation Is dependent upon the pros
perity and welfare Of our agri.
cultural population.
I'VE recognize that agricultural
activities are still struggling with
adverse conditions which have
brought deep distress. We pledge
the party to take whatever steps
that are necessary to bring back
a balance in the condition be-
tween agriculture, commerce, and
labor that were destroyed by the
Democratic party through an un.
fortunate administration of legis-
lative measures passed as war
measures.
I'VE affirm that under the Re.

more serious consideration than
ever before both by definite
executive action and by Congress

field Of general legislation but
also In the enactment Of laws to
