NATIONAL DEFENSE.

"Armaments are relative and, there
fore, flexible and subject to change as
necessity demands. We believe that in
time of war every material resource in
the Nation should bear its proportionate
share of the burdens occasioned by the
public need and that it is a duty of
government to perfect plans in time Of
peace whereby this objective may be at
tanned in war. We support the essen
tiai principles of the national defense
act as amended in 1880 and by the
Air Corps act of 1926. and believe that
the Army OF the United States has
through successive reductions, accom-
pljshed in the last IL years, reached the
irreducible minimum consistent with
the self-reliance, self-respect and Sc
curity Of this country.

- HTCAGO, June 16.-The Rnpub-
lican platform declarations sub
nitted to the convention fol-
~ lows:
INTRODUCTION.

.we the representatives Of the Re
publican party, in convention Assem-
bled. renew our pledge to the principles
aud traditions of our party and dedicate
1t anew to the service Of the Nation.
1--WE meet in a period OF widespread
distress and of an economic depression
that has swept the world. Inc emef-
gency is second only to that OF great
war. The human suffering occasloneu
may well exceed that OF a period OF
actual conflict.
.'The supremely important problem
that challenges our citizens and Gov
eminent alike is to break the back OF
the depression, to restore the economic
life of the Nation, and to bring encour-
agement and relief to the thousands OF
American families that are Sorely al
flicted.
The people themselves, by their own
courage, their own patient and resolute
effort in the readjustments of their own
affairs, can and will work out the cure.
It is our task as party. by leadership
and a wise determination OF policy, to
assist that recovery.
ITO that task we pledge all that our
party possesses in capacity, leadership,
resourcefulness and ability. Republic
cans. collectively and individually, in
Nation and State, hereby enlist IN war
which will not end until the promise Of
American life is once more fulfilled.
For nearly three years the world has
endured an economic depression OF I'M
paralleled extent and severity. The
patience and courage of our people have
been severely tested. but their faith in
themselves. in their institutions and in
their future remains mistaken. When
victory comes, as it will, this genera
ton will hand en- to the next great
heritage uninpaired.
This will be due in large measure
to the quality of the leadership that
this country has had during this crisis.
We have had in the White House a
leader-wise, courageous, patient, I'M
Outstanding, resourceful, ever-present at
his post of duty. tireless in his efforts
and unswervingly faithful to American
principles and ideals.

NEGRO.

For ~ years the Republican party
has been the friend of the American
Negro. Vindication of the right Of the
Negro citizen to enjoy the full benefits
of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness is traditional in the Republican
party, and our party stands pledged to
maintain equal opportunity and rights
for our Negro citizens. We do not pro-
pose to depart from that tradition nor
to alter the spirit or letter of that
pledge.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-06-16

tration has regarded the relief problem
as one of State and local responsible
ity. The work of local agencies, pub
lie and private, have been co-ordinated
and enlarged on Nationwide scale
under the leadership Of the President.
Sudden and unforeseen emergencies
such as the drought have been met by
the Red Cross and the Government.
The United States Public Health Serv-
ice has been Of inestimable benefit TO
stricken areas.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-06-16
IMMIGRATION.

1.-THE restriction of immigration Is a
Republican policy. Our party formu-
lated and enacted into law the quota
system, which for the first time has
made possible an adequate control OF
foreign immigration. Rigid examina
ton Of applicants in foreign countries
has prevented the coming Of criminals
and other undesirable classes, while
other provisions Of the law have en-
abled the President to suspend imm
grafton Of foreign wage-earners who
otherwise, directly or indirectly, would
have increased unemployment among
native-born and legally resident for
eign-born wage-earners in this country
AS a result, immigration is now les
than at any time during the past 100
years.
I'VE favor the continuance and strict
enforcement of our present laws upon
this subject.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-06-16
PARTY GOVERNMENT.

The delays and differences which re-
Gently hampered efforts to obtain legis-
lation imperatively demanded by pre-
vailing critical conditions strikingly
illustrate the menace to self-govern-
ment brought about by the weakening
OF party ties and party fealty.
Experience has demonstrated that
coherent political parties are indispens-
able agencies for the prompt and eff
fective operation of the functions of our
Government under the Constitution.
Only by united party action can con-
sistent, well planned and wholesome
legislative programs be enacted
we believe that the majority Of the
congressman elected in the name of a
party have the right and duty TO de-
termine the general policies of that
party requiring congressional action,
and that Congressman belonging to
that party are, in general, bound to ad-
here to such policies. Any other course
inevitably makes Of Congress a body OF
detached delegates which instead Of
representing the collective wisdom of
our people become the confused voices
OF heterogeneous group Of unrelated
local prejudices.
We believe that the time has come
When senators and Representatives of
the United States should be impressed
with the inf1exible truth that their first
concern should be the welfare of the
United States and the welIbeing of all
OF its people, and that stubborn pride
Of individual opinion is not virtue, but
an obstacle to the orderly and success
ful achievement of the objects of repre-
sentative government. Only by CO.
operation can self-government succeed.
Without it, election under a party aegis
becomes false pretense. We earnestly
request that Republicans through the
Union demand that their Representa-
tlVes IN the Congress pledge themselves
to these principles, to the end that the
lnslolous inf1ue:- ces Of party disintegra-
ton may not Undermine the very foun-
dations of the I2epublic.

collective bargaining by responsible
representatives of employers and en-
ployes of their own choice without the
interference Of any one is recognized
and approved.
Legislation such as laws prohibit
ing alien contract labor, peonage labor
and the ''shanghaiing" of sailors, the
eight -hour labor law on Government
contracts and in Government employ
ment, provision for railroad safety de-
vices, of methods of Cancellation, me-
diation and arbitration in industrial
labor disputes, including the adjust
ment of railroad disputes; the pro7id-
ing of compensation for injury to Gov
eminent employees 1.-THE forerunner of
Federal workers compensation acts
and other laws to aid and protect labor
are of Republican origin and have had
and will continue to have the unswerv-
ing support of the party.

ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY.

1.-The Republican party stands COM
mitted to the development of the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence seaWay. Under
the direction of President Hoover nego-
tiation of a treaty with Canada for
this development is now at a favor
able point. Recognizing the inestimable
benefits which will accrue to the Ma
Lakes on an ocean base. the party re-
affirms allegiance to this great project
and pledges its best efforts to secure
its early completion.

PUERTO RICO.

Puerto Rico being part of the
United States and its inhabitants
American citizens, we believe that they
are entitled to good faith recognition
of the spirit and purpose Of their Or
ganic act. We, therefore, favor the in
clusion of the island in all legislative
and administrative measures enacted or
adopted by Congress or otherwise for
the economic benefit Of their fellow
citizens of the mainland.
I'VE also believe that in so far as
possible all officials appointed to ad-
minister the affairs Of the island gov
eminent should be qualified by at least
five years Of bona fide residence therein

RESPONSE AND ACTION.

There has been magnificent re-
spouse and action to relieve distress
by citizens. organizations and agencies
public and private throughout the
country.
ITO provide against the possible fall
ure of local and State agencies, the
President has urged the Congress to
create an emergency relief fund to be
loaned temporarily to any State on a
showing of actual need and temporary
failure of its financial resources.
The Republican party indorses this
record and policy and is opposed to the
Federal Government entering directly
into the fields Of private charity and
direct relief to the individual

WORLD COURT.

1.-THE acceptance by America of
membership in the World Court has
been approved by three successive Re
publican Presidents and We commend
this attitude of supporting in this form
the settlement of international disputes
by the rule Of law America should
Join its influence and gain voice in
this institution. which would offer us a
safer more judicial and expeditions IN
strument for the constantly recurring
questions between us and other nations
than is now available by arbitration.

WELFARE WORK,

1.-THE children of our Nation, our fu-
ture citizens, have had the most So
licftous thought of our President Child
welfare and protection has been a major
effort of this administration. The or
ganization of the White House Confer
ence on Child Health and Protection is
regarded as one of the outstanding &C
complishments of this administration.
welfare work in all it's phases has
had the support of the President and
aid of the administration. The work
OF organized agencies, local, State and
Federal, has been advanced and an
increased impetus given by that rec
ignition and help We approve and
pledge q continuation Of that policy.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-06-16
HIGHWAYS.

1.-THE Federal policy to cooperate
with the States in the building of roads
was thoroughly established when the
Federal highway act of 1921 was adopt
ed under a Republican Congress. Each
wear since that time appropriations
have been made which have greatly
increased the economic value OF high
way transportation and helped to raise
the standards and opportunities of
rural life.
1--WE pledge our support to the con-
tinuation Of this policy in accordance
with our needs and resources.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-06-16

as the most favored nation principle
has been our guiding program and we
believe that policy to be the only one
consistent with full development of
international trade, the only one suit
able for a country having as wide and
diverse commerce as America and the
one most appropriate for us in view
of the great variety Of our industrial,
agricultural and mineral products and
the traditions Of our people. Any other
plan involves bargains and partner
ships with foreign nations and as a
permanent policy is unsuited to Amer
ica's position.

EMPLOYMENT.

I'VE commend the constructive work
of the United States Employment Serv-
ice in the Department of Labor. This
service was enlarged and its activities
extended through an appropriation
made possible by the President, with
the cooperation of the Congress. 1t has
done high service for the unemployed
in the ranks of civil life and In the
ranks Of former soldiers Of the World
War.

REORGANIZATION.

Efficiency and economy demand re-
organization of Government bureaus.
The problem is non-partisan and must
be so treated If it is to be solved. AS
result of years Of study and personal
contact with conflicting activities and
Wasteful duplication Of effort, the Presi-
dent Is particularly fitted to direct
measures to correct the situation. We
favor legislation by Congress which will
give him the required authority.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-06-16
CRIME.

I'VE favor the enactment of rigid
penal laws that will aid the States in
stamping out the activities Of gangsters,
racketeers and kidnapers. We COM
mend the intensive and effective drive
made upon these public enemies by
President Hoover and pledge our party
to further efforts to the same purpose.

NARCOTICS.

THE Republican party pledges itself
to continue the present relentless war

and the spread Of the curse OF drug ad-
diction among our people. This admin

ened cur power to deal with this traffic.

HAWAII.

of the Territory of Hawaii should be
maintained. and that officials appoint

FIGHTS GASOLINE TAX
Governor of Georgia Challenges
Right of q. S. to Make State Pay.

ATLANTA, Ga, June Is (P).-
Georgia's lawyer-Governor yesterday
sought means to avoid payment by the
State and its subdivisions of the new
Federal tax of l cent per gallon on
gasoline. He said payment by the State
would be "manifestly unfair" in view Of
Federal failure to pay similar taxes
levied by Georgia.
Gov. Russell wrote Attorney General
Lawrence Camp directing him to in
vestigate whether the tax must be paid
by Georgia. He said it was well set
tied rule Of law that the National Gov
eminent cannot directly levy a tax on
the State or its subdivisions. and it
should not be permitted to do by in
directly what it cannot do directly"
