Dear Miss Grey: It seems odd
to me to read 20 many amazing
letters that appear In your column.
And when say amazing ! mean
just that.
For instance, Just why should
some wise" persons take 1t upon
to say what age men
and women's should be when they
marry? 1t seems to me that all
depends upon the men and women
Anyway, nature has
seen to It that the mating Of men
and women usually follows the
wise hand Of the Creator. Youth
seeks youth, and when we find ex-
ceptions to this rule, now and then,
why should we raise q howl about

Wheeler Warns Parties
To Shun Interventionists
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Of
Montana urged both major parties
yesterday to nominate presidential
candidates with records such that
the people would know their ac-
t1ons will not be controlled by that
little handful of international bank
ers in New York who seemingly
want to get us into war"
Senator Wheeler asserted, in a
statement, that he would hate to
see" the nomination on either
ticket of any one who sat in on the
meeting in New York which gave
birth to the so-called William Allen
White Committee which is now
propagandizing through national
advertisements for American inter-
vention in the European conflict.
"At this meeting, am informed,
were many distinguished Repub-
licans, Democrats and former Demo-
Gratis"
He added that 1--WE want to see
this Nation fully prepared to de-
fend our shores against any nation,
but the people of this country are
overwhelmingly opposed to our en-
tering into the European conflict"
Declaring he had been disturbed
by the propaganda emanating from
New York and Washington to get
us into this war" he restated his
opposition to the Presidents ap-
pointment of Henry L. Stimson as
Secretary of War and Frank Knox
as Secretary of the Navy.

measure of the protection shall
be determined by scientific
methods with due regard to the
interest of the consumer.
We shall explore every possi-
bility of reopening the channels
of international trade through
negotiations so conducted as to
produce genuine reciprocity and
expand our exports.
We condemn the manner in
which the so-called reciprocal
trade agreements of the New
Deal have been put into effect
without adequate hearings, with
undue haste, without proper con-
sideration of our domestic pro.
ducers, and without congression-
al approval. These defects we
shall correct.
The Congress should reclaim
its constitutional powers over
money, and withdraw the Presi-
dents arbitrary authority to
manipulate the currency, estab-
hsh bimetallism, issue irredeem-
able paper money and debase the
gold and silver coinage. We shall
repeal the Thomas imitation
amendment of 1888 and the
(foreignD Silver Purchase Act of
1884, and take all possible steps
to preserve the value of the Gov
ernment's huge holdings of gold
and reintroduce gold into cir
culation.
JOBS AND IDLE MONEY.
Believing it possible to keep the
securities market clean without
paralyzing it, we indorse the
principle of truth in securities in
the securities acts. To get bill
lions of idle dollars and a multi
tude of idle men back to work
and to promote national defense,
these acts should be revised and

IMMIGRATION.

ANANAl0nh 1lONs
We favor the strict enforce
ment OF all laws controlling the
entry of aliens. The activities of
undesirable aliens should be in
vestigated and those who seek to
change by force and violence the
American form of government
should be deported.
VETERANS.
We pledge adequate compensa-
tion and care for veterans dis
abled in the service of our
country. and for their widows,
orphans and dependents.
INDIANS.
We pledge an immediate and
final settlement of all Indian
claims between the Government
and the Indian citizenship OF the
Nation.
HAWAII.
Hawaii, sharing the Nations
obligations equally with the sew
eral States, is entitled to the
fullest measure of home rule; and
to equality with the several States
in the rights of her citizens and
in the application of our national
laws.
GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS.
We shall encourage a healthy,
confident, and growing private
enterprise, conflne Government
activity to essential public serv-
ices, and regulate business only
SO as to protect consumer. en-
ployee, and investor and without
restricting the productions Of
more and better goods at lower
prices.
MONOPOLY.
Since the passage of the Sher-
man Antitrust Act by the Re-
publican party, we have consis-
tently fought to preserve free
competition with regulation to
prevent abuse. New Deal policy
fosters Government monopoly, re-
stricts production, and fixes
prices. We shall enforce anti
trust legislation without prejudice
or discrimination. We condemn
the use or threatened use of
criminal indictments to obtain
through consent DEGREES objec-
tives not contemplated by law.
GOVERNMENT COMPETITION.
We promise to reduce to the
minimum Federal competition
with business. We pledge our
selves to establish honest ac-
counting and reporting by every
agency of the Federal Govern
ment and to continue only those
enterprises whose maintenance
is clearly in the public Interest.
FREE SPEECH.
The principles of free press
and free speech, as established
by the Constitution, should apply
to the radio. Federal regulation
of radio is necessary in view of
the natural limitations of wave
lengths, but this gives no excuse
for censorship. We oppose the
use of licensing to establish ar
pitrary controls. Licenses should
be revocable only when, after
public hearings, due cause for
cancellation Is shown.
SMALL BUSINESS.
The New Deal policy of in
reference and arbitrary regu-
lation has injured all business,
but especially small business.
We promise to encourage the
small business man by removing
unnecessary bureaucratic regu-
1ation and interference.
STOCK, COMMODITY

We pledge ourselves to enact
legislation standardizing and
simplifying uasi-judicial and
: administrative agencies to insure
adequate notice and hearing, i'm
partiality, adherence to the rules
of evidence and full judicial re-
view of all questions of law and
fact.
Our greatest protection against
totalitarian government Is the
American system of checks and
balances. The constitutional
distribution Of legislative, execu-
tive and judicial functions is es-
sential to the preservation of this
system. We pledge ourselves to

Malta Bombing Damage
Heavy, Say italians

ROME, June 27 P.-Italian
planes again have heavily bombed
Malta with much damage, the mill

The commands daily communi-
que said:
Bomber formations have flown
over Malta in waves, subjecting air
and naval objectives on the island
once more to intense destructive ac-
ton. All our planes returned to
the bases from which they departed
"In Northern Africa there was
repeated air action against supply
dumps and motorized equipment.
All aircraft returned.

should be accorded the fullest

ance institutions. We favor con-

To insure against the over

government we favor an amend

viding that no person shall be
President Of the United States
for more than two terms.

tions made by this convention

private honor and public faith,

changed to encourage the flow
Of private capital into industry.
TAXATION.
Public spending has trebled
under the New Deal, while tax
burdens have doubled. Huge
taxes are necessary to pay for
New Deal waste and for neglected
national defense. We shall re-
wise the tax system and remove
those practices which impede
recovery and shall apply policies
which stimulate enterprise. We
shall not use the taxing power
as an instrument of punishment
or to secure objectives not other
wise obtainable under existing
Law.
PUBLIC CREDIT.
With urgent need for adequate
defense, the people are burdened
by a direct and contingent debt
exceeding so billion dollars.
Twenty-nine billions of this debt
has been created by New Deal
borrowings during the past seven
years. We pledge ourselves to
conserve the public credit for
all essential purposes by levy
ing taxation sufficient to cover
necessary civil expenditure, a
substantial part of the defense
cost, and the interest and re-
ttrement of the national debt,
PUBLIC SPENDING.
Millions of men and women
still out of work after seven years
OF excessive spending refute the
New Deal theory that deficit
spending" is the way to pros
perity and jobs. Our American
system of private enterprise, if
permitted to go to work, can
rapidly increase the wealth, in
come and standard of living of
all the people. We solemnly
pledge that public expenditures,
other than those required for full
national defense and relief, shall
be cut to levels necessary for the
essential services Of government.
EQUAL RIGHTS.
We favor submission bv Con-
gresS to the States of an amend
ment to the Constitution pro-
viding for equal rights for men
and women.
NEGRO.
We pledge that our American
citizens of Negro descent shall
be- given a square deal in the
economic and political life of this
Nation. Discrimination in the
civil service, the Army, Navy, and
all other branches of the Gov
ernment must cease. To enjoy
the full benefits of life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness univer-
sal suffrage must be made ef-
fective for the Negro citizen. Mob
violence shocks the conscience of
the Nation and legislation to
curb this evil should be enacted.
UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES.
We vigorously condemn the
New Deal encouragement of va
rious groups that seek to change
the American form of Govern
ment by means outside the Con-
stitution. We condemn the ap-
pointment of members of such
un-American groups to high po-
sitions of trust in the national
Government. The development
Of the treacherous so-called fifth
column, as it has operated in
war-stricken countries, should be
solemn warning to America.
We pledge the Republican party
to get rid of such borers from
within.
