Conclusion.

We assume the obi hyat.on3 ard
duties imposed upon Government
by modern conditions. We affirm
our unalterable conviction that,
in the future as in the past, the
fate Of the Nation will depend, not
so much on the wisdom and power
Of Government, as on the character
and virtue, Self-reliance, industry
and thrift Of the people and on
their willingness to meet the re-
sponsibilities essential to the pres
-ervation Of free society.
Finally, as our rarty affirmed
in the first platform in 1856: Be
lieving that the spirit of our insti-
tutions as well as the Constitution
Of our country guarantees liberty
Of conscience and equality OF rights
among our citizens, we oppose all
legislation tending to impair them"
and I'VE invite the afiliation and
cooperation of the men of all
parties, however differing from us
in other respects, in support Of the
principles herein declared"
The acceptance Of the nomina-
ton rendered by this convention
carries with it, as a matter Of pri-
vate honor and public faith, an
undertaking by each candidate to
be true to the principles and pro-
gram herein set forth.
Evening star., 1936-06-12
Unemployment.

The only permanent solution OF
the unemployment problem is the
absorption of the unemployed by
industry and agriculture. To that
end, we advocate:
Removal Of restrictions on pro-
auction.
Abandonment. of all New Deal
policies that raise production costs.
increase the cost Of living, and
thereby restrict buying, reduce
volume and prevent re-employ-
n4ent.
Encouragement instead of him
6Tance 10 legitimate business.
Withdrawal of Government from
competition with private pay rolls.
Elimination of unnecessary and
hsmpering regulations.
Adoption of such other policies
ae will furnish a chance for indi-
vidual enterprise, industrial ex-
pansion, and the restoration Of
$obS.
Evening star., 1936-06-12
Money and Banking.

We advocate o sound currency
to be preserved at all hazards.
The first requisite to q sound
and stable currency Is q balanced
budget.
We oppose further devaluation
OF" the dollar.
We will restore to the Congress
the authority lodged with it by
the Constitution to coin money
and regulate the value thereof by
repeating all the laws delegating
this authority to the Executive.
We will cooperate with other
countries toward stabilization of
Currencies as soon as we can do
so with due regard for our ma
tional interests and as soon as
other nations have suficient sta
bility to justify such action.

nently insure productivity, with
reasonable benefits to cooperating
farmers on family-type farms, but
so regulated as to eliminate the
New Deals destructive policy to-
ward the dairy and livestock in
dustries.
Aid to Farmers
Developing New Crops.
4. To extend experimental aid to
farmers developing new crops
suited to our soil and climate.
S. To promote the industrial Use
of farm products by applied
science.
6. To protect the American
farmer against the importation of
all livestock, dairy and agricultural
products, substitutes therefor, and
derivatives therefrom, which will
depress American farm prices.
T. To provide effective quaran-
tine against imported livestock,
dairy and other farm products
from countries which do not i'm
pose health and sanitary reguls-
tions fully equal to those required
Of our own producers.
8. To provide for ample farm
credit at rates as low as those en-
loved by other industries, including
commodity and livestock loans, and
preference in land loans to the
farmer acquiring or refinsncing q
farm as home.
Remove Federal
Land Banks From Politics.
9. To provide for decentralized,
comparison control Of the Farm
Credit Administration and the
election by national farm loan
associations Of at least one half Of
each Board of Directors OF the Fed
eral land banks, and thereby re-
move these institutions from poll
tics.
10. To provide in the case Of
agricultural products Of which
there are exportable surpluees, the
payment Of reasonable benefits
upon the domestically consumed
portion of such crops in order TO
make the tariff effective. These
payments are TO be limited to the
production level of the family-type
farm.
IL. To encourage and further de-
velop cooperative marketing.
IL. To furnish Government as
sistsnce in disposing OF surpluses
in foreign trade by bargaining for
foreign markets selectively by
countries both as to exports and
imports We strenuously oppose
so-called reciprocal treaties which
trade OF the American farmer.
IS. To give every reasonable as
sistsnce to producers in areas suf-
fering from temporary disaster, so
that they may regain and main
tain q self-supporting status.
Evening star., 1936-06-12
Relief.

The necessities of life must be
provided for the needy, and hope
must be restored pending recovery.
The administration Of relief Is
major failure Of the New Deal. 1t
has been faithless to those who
most deserve our sympathy. To
end confusion, partiSanship, waste
and incompetence, We pledge:
l. The return of responsibility
for relief administration TO non-pol-
1tical local agencies familiar with
community problems.
2. Federal grants in aid to the
States and territories while the need
exists, upon compliance with these
conditions: (a) A fair proportion Of
the total relief burden to be pro-
vided from the revenues of States
and local governments; (b) all en-
gagged in relief administration to be
selected on the basis Of merit and
fitness; (c) adequate provision to be
made for the encouragement OF

wages, and working conditions. We
believe that this can be done within
the Constitution as It now stands"
I hope the opinion Of the convention
Is correct that the aims which you
have in mind may be attained within
the Constitution as 1t now stands.
But, If that opinion should prove to
be erroneous, want you to know that,
If nominated and elected, shall
favor a constitutional amendment,
permitting the States to adopt such
legislation as may be necessary ads-
quately to protect women and chill
dren in the matter Of maximum hours,
minimum wages and working condi-
tons. This obligation we cannot
escape.
Agrees on Balanced Budget.
The convention advocates "a sound
currency to be preserved at all haZ-
ards" agree that "the first re-
quisite TO sound and stable currency
is a balanced budget" The second
requisite, as I view it, Is a currency
expressed in terms of gold and con-
vertible into gold.
recognize, however, that the Sec
ond requisite must not be made
effective until and unless 1t can be
done without penalizing our domestic
economy and without injury to our
producers Of agricultural products and
other raw materials.
The convention pledges the party
to the merit system and to its restora-
tion, improvement and extension
In carrying out this pledge I be-
lieve that there should be included
within the merit system every posi-
ton in the administrative service be-
