tions the record of the treasury is
described as 'u~nrivalled and un-
surpassed"
Through a long recital of prob
lens and developments of five
years, the platform reviews with
satisfaction dispositions made by
the president and congress.
Taxes, tariff, foreign policy,
merchant marine, railroads and
flood control pass in review as
problems met and solved to the
satisfaction of the party leaders.
Prevent Labor lnjunctions
Sterilization of the coal indus
try, prevention of excessive use
of injunctions in labor disputes,
rigid enforcement of the 18th
amendment, and the drafting of
resources in time of war are out
standing on the program the party
mapped out for the next four
Declaring for Honesty in gov
eminent" and for the appoint
ment of officials of unquestioned
integrity, the platform deplored
the fact that any official has ever
fallen from this high standard and
that certain American citizens of
both parties have so far forgotten
their duty as citizens as to traffic
in national interests for private
gain"
Noting that practically all the
war taxes have been eliminated, a
pledge is given for further reduc-
lions as conditions permit. Re
duction of the public debt by ST.
Ali, 900 900 in seven years is cited
with a declaration that the party
will continue to reduce the debt.
The policy of the administration
in Nicaragua and China is endor-
sed. with the assertion that Amer
lean naval and military forces are
being used in these countries to
protect American lives and inter-
ests.
Cooperate With League
The platform approves the for
eign policy of the president gen
orally, making special reference
to the course followed in the set
tlement of foreign debts. 1t also
deems as satisfactory the solution
of war claims, and reaffirms its
opposition to membership in the
League of Nations. 1t calls atten-
ton, however, to a policy of coop
Grafton in the humanitarian and
technical work" of the league.
The tariff act of 1922 is declar-
ed to have justified itself in the
expansion of foreign trade.
"The present tariff law has not
hampered the natural growth in
the expectation of the products of
American agriculture, industry
and mining, nor has it restricted
the importation of foreign commo-
dities which this country can util-
ize without ~jeopardizing its econ
omic structure" the platform says.
The government should make
every effort to aid the coal indus
try by removing restrictions ham,
pering it's development, it de-
clares, adding that the party is
anxious to assist in any feasible
plan for the sterilization of the
industry which would work with
justice to the miners, consumers
and producers.
1t is asserted that American
labor enjoyed the highest wage
and living standard in the world,
and freedom in wage contracts
and the right of collective bar
gaining is the party's pledge to
wage Garner.
