1.-THE proposals, the principles and
ideals CT the party were set out in the
last campaign. They require no repe-
tition here. They will justify them
selves. Rather than to review them
even in the setting Of present events,
Iprefer to say word as to q platform
upon which all Americans can stand
without partisanship. -
There are certain fundamentals and
safeguards Of our Government which
are not the property of any political
party. They are the common necessi-
ties Of the entire people. They embrace
rigid adherance to the Constitution; !;
enforcement of the laws without re-
Spect to person; assurance OF the credit
OF the Government to restraint Of
spending and provision Of adequate
revenue; provision OF the honor and
to its obligations, its security and its
sound currency; irsistence upon the
responsibilities Of local governments; /;
advancement of world peace; adequate
preparedness for defense; the cure Of
abuses which have crept into our eco
nomic and political systems; develop
ment of the security to homes and liv-
ing; persistence in the initiative, equal
opportunity and responsibilities Of indi-
viduals and institutions, and finally
every encouragement to the develop
ment of our intellectual, moral and
spiritual life. In great emergencies
humanity in Government requires the
utilization of the reserve strength of all
branches Of the Government whether
local or national, to protect our insti-
tutions and our people from forces be-
yond their control. This must and can
ho acoop1 ,,1ichod without yin1o tioo nf
these fundamentals and safeguards.
Froe6om for All Involved.
upon these foundations lies the
freedom, the welfare and the future
of every citizen in the country. BY
them we will march forward. We dc
not claim them as the exclusive prop
erty of the republican party. They are
the inheritants of all parties. This Is
a program which can command the
respect and support of all who would
maintain the United States in the high
position amongst nations 1t now holds
and one from which We should not
deviate in fidelity
Yours faithfully,
HERBERT HOOVER"

The meeting of the Republicans ap-
parently was entirely harmonious
Despite reports some time ago that ef-
forts might be made to reorganize the
National Committee, particularly with
reference to selection of q chairman
there was no move Of that kind sug-
gested. 1t has been generally consid-
cred by most of the Republican leaders
that Chairman Sanders will continue te
hold on as head of the national organ
ization for some time to come, or Ger.
tainly until he of his own accord pro-
poses to retire.
