mighty economic forces for ma
tional defense.
Nations Collapse
Experience of other nations
gives warning that total defense
is necessary to repel attack, and
that partial defense is no defense
We have seen the downfall of
nations accomplished through in
ternal dissension provoked from
without. We denounce and will
do all in our power to destroy
the reasonable activities of dis
guised anti-democratic and I'M
American agencies which would
sap our strength, paralyze our will
to defend ourselves, and destroy
our unity by melting race against
race, class against class, religion
against religion, and the people
against their free institutions.
To make America strong, and
to keep America free, every Am
erican must give of his talents and
treasure in accordance with his
ability and his country's needs
We must have democracy of sac
rifice as well as democracy of
opportunity.
To insure that our ornaments
shall be implements of peace
rather than war, we shall con-
tinue our traditional policies of
the good neighbor; observe and
advocate international respect for
the rights of others and for treaty
obligations; cultivate eign
trade through desirable trade
agreements; and foster economic
collaboration with the republics
of the western hemisphere.
In self-defense and in good
conscience, the worlds greatest
democracy cannot afford heart
lessly or in spirit of appease-
ment to ignore the peace-loving
and liberty-loving peoples wan
tonly attacked by ruthless agrees
sors. We pledge to extend to
these peoples all the material aid
at our command, consistent with
law and not inconsistent with
the interests of our own national
self-defense - all to the end that
peace and international good
faith may yet emerge triumphant.
Civil Liberties
We do not regard the need for
preparedness a warrant for in
fringement upon our civil liber-
ties, but on the contrary we shall
continue to protect them, in the
keen realization that the vivid
contrast between the freedom we
enpoy and the dark repression
which prevails in the lands where
liberty is dead, affords warning
and example to our people to con-
firm their faith in democracy.

boards and commissions, and It's
interests should be examined and
fostered BY q continuous research
program.
We have provided an important
outlet for private capital BY stim-
ulating home building and low
rent housing projects More new
homes were built throughout the
nation last year than In any year
since 1929.
We have fostered q well-bal-
anced American merchant marine
and the worlds finest system Of
civil aeronautics, to promote our
commerce and our national de-
tense.
We have steered a steady course
between a banlruptcy-produ
ing deflation end q thrift-destroy-
ing imitation, so that today the
dollar is the most stable and
sought-after currency in the
world-a factor Of unreasonable
benefit in our foreign and domes-
tic commerce.
State Barriers
We shall continue to oppose
barriers which impede trade
among the several stats. We
pledge our best efforts in
strengthening our home markets,
and to this end we favor the adj
justment Of freight rates so that
no section or state viii have un-
due advantage over any other.
To encourage investment in
productive enterprise, the tax-ex-
empt privileges of future federal,
state and local bonds should be
removed.
We have enforced the anti-trust
laws more vigorously than at any
time in our history, thus affording
the maximum protection to the
competitive system.
We favor strict supervision Of
all forms of the insurance bust
ness by the several states for the
protection Of policy holders and
the public.
The full force of our policies, by
raising the national income by
thirty billion dollars from the low
Of 1882, by encouraging vast re-,
employment and by elevating the
level Of consumer demand, has
quickened the flow of buying and
selling through every artery of
industry and trade.
with mass purchasing power re-
stored and many abuses elimin-
ated, American business stands at
the threshold Of a great new era,
richer in promise than any we
have witnessed - an era Of pio-
neering and progress beyond the
present frontiers Of economic &C.
tivity in transportation, in
industrial expansion, and in the
new utilization of the products Of
the farm and the factory.
We shall aid business In re-
deeming Americas promise.
Major Victories
During the past seven years the
Democratic party has won the
first major victories for the peo-
pie of the nation in their genera
ton old contest with the power
monopoly.
These victories have resulted in
the recognition of certain self
evident principles and the realiza-
ton of vast benefits by the people.
These principles, long opposed by
the Republican party, are:
That the power of falling water
is a gift from God, and conse-
quently belongs not to a privi-
legged few, but to all the people,
who are entitled to enjoy its
benefits;
That the people have the right
through their government to de-
velop their own power sites and
bring low-cost electricity to their
homes, farms and factories;
That public utility holding COM

panies must not be permitted to
serve as the means by which
few men can pyramid stocks upon
stocks for the sole purpose Of con-
trolling vast power empires.
We condemn the Republican
policies which permitted the VIC
timizing Of investors In the secur-
titles of private power corporations,
and the exploitation Of the people
by unnecessarily high utility costs.
We condemn the opposition Of
utility power interests which de-
layed for years the development
Of national defense projects in the
Tennessee valley, and which OBJ

and other public projects bringing
Slow-cost electric power to the peo-
pie The successful power develop
ments in the Tennessee and Coz
lumbia river basins show the wis
dom Of the Democratic party In
establishing government owned
and operated hydro-electric plants
in the interests Of power and light
consumers.
Through these Democratic vic
tories, whole regions have been re-
vived and restored to prosperous
habitation. Production costs have
been reduced. Industries have been
established which empty men and
capital. Cheaper electricity has
brought vast economic benefits to
thousands Of homes and commu-
mites.
Issue Raised
These victories of the people
must be safeguarded. They will
be turned to defeat If the Repub-
lican party should be returned to
power. We pledge our party mill
family to oppose every effort to en-
croach upon the inherent right Of
our people to be prvided with this
primary essential Of life at the
lowest possible cost.
The nomination of an utility ex-
ecutive by the Republican party
as its presidential candidate raises
squarely the issue, whether the
nations water power shall be used
for all the people or for the selfish
interests Of a few. We accept that
issue.

from the Officers in Charge of the Air Raid Precautions Centre, Hell ston, Cornwall, and signed by J. R. Gilbert and R. Denne Waterhouse, is as follows:
 Dire Need
 We may go so far as to say that our superior Officers in the ARP. organization have told Us quite frankly that we stand no chance oi getting any reinforce ment of the Ambulance Service at all
 Before the war it was generally accepted that Cornwall would en- joy a relative immunity from air raids, and on this assumption was based the amount of equipment allowed to us. The radical altera- ton in the situation caused by the German occupation of the Northern France airports has escaped the at tention of nobody but the Emer- gency Committee of the County Council The present situation in actual fact is that hardly a day passes without raid upon the Port of Falmouth or without the pas sage of enemy planes to and fro over our District.
 We do, therefore, ask you very earnestly to weigh these circum- stances, and to consider whether you could, in your generosity, give to those who depend upon you for succour some greater measure of reinsurance by addition to our Ambulance Services, and to the personnel of the services them selves, some relief from the con-
