with other nations to reduce ornaments within the
border line of safety and for other mutually helpful
purposes. But he is not In favor of sacrificing the
Monroe Doctrine or submitting any other question
involving just national interests to any foreign
league or tribunal for settlement For us to submit
such questions as the Monroe Doctrine, immigration
and tariffs to foreign adjudication is to mperl our
prosperity and safety.
Back of all this movement to involve us political
by in the European system is the plan of our nterna
tiOna bankers and industrialss to bring the Amerl-
can standard of wages and living down to that of Eu
rope Asia and South America and thus to reduce our
farmers and workers to the same status of peasant
ny they occupy IN most of the rest of the world Many
say that the billions we are investing abroad must
not be protected by the sacrifice of the life and treas
ure of the millions of Americans who are content to
contribute to the prosperity of their country,
rather than engage in foreign financial adventures,
and cash in on them at our expense.
Mr. Sheleys platform is based upon the nine
most important issues confronting the United States
government. In announcing his candidacy and plat
form for the nomination he said

unalterably opposed to the return of the saloon.
