are there on Legitimate business and
in still larger numbers for nobIv hu-
manitarian reasons. America has not
been stampeded into making reprisals
but. on the other hand, has consist
emily taken the position of leadership
among the nations in policy of wise
moderation.
The Republican parry maintains the
traditional American policy of nom
interference in he political affairs
of other nations. This government
has definitely refused membership in
the League of Nations and to assume
any obligations unaef the covenant of
the league On this We stand.

aid and assist in the perfection of prin-
eiples of international law and the set
tlement of international disputes.
Civil Service.
The merit system III government serv-
ice originated with and has been de-
Veloped by the Republican party. The
great majority of our public service en-
ployees are now occurred through and
maintained IN the government service
rules Steps have already been taken
by the Republican congress to make the
service more attractive as to wages and
retirement privileges and we commend
what has been done as step in the
right direction.
Agriculture.
The agricultural problem is national in
scope and as such is recognized by the
rtxt
strength and energy to the solution of
the same. Realizing that many farmers
are facing problems more difficult than
those which are the portion of many
other basic industries, the party is anx-
ious to aid in every way possible.
Many of our farmers are still going
through readjustments, a relic of the
years directly following the great war.
All the farmers are being called on to
meet new and perplexing conditions Gre
ated by foreign competition, the COM
pleHities of domestic marketing, labor
problems and a steady increase in local
and state taxes.
The general depression in a great ba-
sic industry inevitably reacts upon the
conditions in the country as whole
and cannot be ignored It is a matter
of satisfaction that the desire to help
IN the correction OF agricultural wrongs
and conditions is not confined to any
one section of our country or any par
tieular group
Party Settles Problems.
The Republican party and the Repub-
lican administra ton, particularly during
the last five years, have settled many of
the most distressing problems as they
haVa artisan ~,
aid OF agriculture are properly part Of
this record. The Republican congresses
have been most responsive In the matter
OF agricultural appropriations, not only
to meet crop emergencies but for the
extension and development OF the actvi-
ties of the Department of Agriculture
The protection of the American farm
er against foreign farm competition and
foreign trade practices has been vigor-
ously carried on by the Department of
State. The right of the farmers to en-
gage in collective buying and the Top
erative selling as provided for by the
Capper Volstead act of 1929 has been
promulgated through the Department OF
Agriculture and the Department OF Jus.
tice, which have given most valuable aid
and assistance to the heads of the farm
organization. The Treasury department
and the proper committees OF congress.
have lightened the tax burden on farm
Ing communities, and through the fed
eral farm loan system there has been
made available to the farmers Of the
nation $l.S5O.OO0.0OO for loaning purposes
at low rate Of interest, and through
the intermediate credit banks $655 900, 900
OF short-term credits have been made
available to the farmers.
Coolidge Takes Hand.
When shortage of transportation
facilities threatened to deprive the farm
ers OF their opportunity to reach wait
ing markets overseas, the President, ap-
preciative and sensitive of the condition
and the possible loss to the commune
ties. ordered the reconditioning of ship
ping board vessels. thus relieving a great
emergency
Last, but not least, the federal tariff
commission has at all times shown
willingness under the provisions Of the
flexible tariff act to aid the farmers
when foreign competition, made DOS
sble by low wage scales abroad threat
ened to deprive our farmers of their do
nestle markets. Under this act the
President has increased duties on wheat.
flour, mill feed, and dairy products. Nu-
merouS other farm products are now be-

We promise every assistance In the re-
organization Of the marketing system
