 On one hand it advocates a sound currency and opposes further devaluation of the dollar, but on the other hand, it does not recommend that our money be tied to gold or silver at any fixed value but does declare for what in effect is continuation of the present managed currency.
 It opposes what the last three Republican Pres- dents sponsored-adherance to the World Court an established tribunal for international arbitration and on the other hand it "the great cause of international arbitration through the establishment of free. independent tribunals"
 Again it opposes the New Deal Federal-State old age pension plan, financed by taxing both employers and employees on payroll basis and, on the other hand, it advocates Federal-state old-age pension pan financed by "a direct tax widely distributed whatever that means
 On one hand it urges State wage and hour laws protecting and children, but, on the other it does not want to amend the Constitution, which the Supreme Court has decreed forbids such protec tive laws
 It condemns the New Deal soil conservation farm program because it tends ito promote scarcity and to limit by coercve methods the farmers control his own farm but it favors protection and restora- ton of the land resources designed to bring about such balance between soil-buding and soil-deplet- ing crops will permanently insure productivity
 It has been suggested that what the Republicans needed at Cleveland than any other thing was a one-armed platform writer. But apparently they didn't have one, and MT. Landon probably is going to find himself busy trying to analyze the other blanks that he won't have time to say much on those with which he is not in accord.
 But of course the voters have not forgotten that Governor Landon is the chap who balanced" the Kansas budget with the aid of thirty million dollars in Federal Government funds. Anybody who can do that probably can hop around the various nconsis tencies of the Republican platform.

LANDON AND THE PLATFORM

Senator Joseph T Robinson speaking as perman- ent chairman at the Democratic convention in Phla- delplla, pointed out that Governor Landon the Re- publican had indicated disposition to bolt some of the subjects on which his party platform had spoken.
 It is interesting first to read the last paragraph of the Republican platform adopted at Cleveland It reads:
 The acceptance of the nomination rendered by this convention carries with it. as a mat ter of private honor and public faith, an undertaking by each candidate to be true to the principles and program herein set forth
 Then we find in the C. O. P labor plank the following:
 We pledge ourselves to support the adoption os state laws and interstate compacts to abolish sweatshops and child labor and to pro- tect women and children with respect to maximum hours, minimum wages and work ing conditions. We believe that this can be done within the Constitution as if now stands That of course, is one of the blanks to which the nominee instructed by his party, is pledged to be true to. But this is what Governor Landon tee- graphed the convention that very plank.
 hope the opinion of the convention is correct that the aims which you have in mind may be attained within the Constitution as it stands. But if that opinion should prove
 
 nominated and elected I shall favor stitutional amendment permitting the state to adopt such legislation may be necessary adequately to protect women and children in
 the matter of maximum hours, minimum wages and working conditions. This obligation cannot escape.
 Little wonder that the Democratic Chairman called attention at Philadelphia to the apparant fact that the Republican nominee indicated disposition to bolt of the subjects which his party plat form has spoken. It must be said for Governor Lan- don that he seemed to have the of his con vctions. He very frankly told the convention what he believed The fact that his not the tone of the platform is not of course his fault. But it does reveal very clearly that the Republican nominee and the Republican platform are at variance The Governor may have to do considerable hedging. But if he does he will be much more in tune with the platform, which reads sort of a hedging, on-the- other variety of document.
 On hand, it favors higher tariffs to restrict
