COP. p
The tragedy of the wars is upon
orr country as we meet to consider
The problems of government ano
our people. Mindful of the solemn
hour and humbly conscious of oul
heavy responsibilities, the Republi-
can party in convention assembled
presents herewith its principles anc
makes these eovenentS with the
people of our nation.
THE WAR AND PEACE: We
pledge prosecution of the war to
total victory against our enemies
in full cooperation with the United
Nations and all-out support OF our
armies and the maintenance of our
navy under the competent and
trained direction of our general
staff and office of naval operations
without civilian interference and
with every civilian resource.
LIBERTY AT HOME
We shall devote ourselves to re-
establishing liberty at home. AT
the earliest possible time after the
cessation of hoStilities we will bring
home all members OF our armed
forces who do not have uneXpired
enlismentS and who do not volun-
teer fer further overseas duty.
We declare our relentless aim
TO win the war against all our
enemies: |. For our own Ameri-
can security and welfare; 2. To
make and keep the axis powers
impotent to renew tyranny and
attack: 5. For the attainment OF
peace and freedom based on JUS
tice and security.
We shall seek to achieve such
aim through organized internation-
al cooperation and not by joining
a world state.
We favor responsible partlcipa-
ton by the United States in post
war cooperative organization among
sovereign nations to prevent mill
tary aggression anG to attain per-
manent peace with organized JUS
tice in a free world.
PLEDGE COOPERATION
Such an organization should de-
yslop effective cooperative means
to direct peace forces to prevent
OK repel military aggression. P.nd-
ing this, We pledge continuing col
liberation with the United Nations
to assure the ultimate objective.
We believe, however, that peace
and security co not depend upon
the sanction of force alone, but
should prevail by virtue of recipro-
cal interests and spiritual values
recognized in the security agree
ments. The treaty of peace should
be just; the nations which are the
victims of aggression should be re-
stored to sovereignty and Self-gov-
ernment; and the organized coop
Grafton of the nation should con-
Germ itself with basic causes of
world disorder. 1t should promote
a world opinion to influence the
nation to conduct, develop inter-
national law anC' maintain a in
ternational tribunal to deal with
justifiable disputes.
We shall seek, in our relations
with other nations conditions cal
culated to promote world wide
economic stability, not only for
the sake of the world, but also
to the end that our own people
may enjOin a high level of en-
ployment in an increasingly pros
porous world.
NO SECRETS FROM PEOPLE
We shall keep the American peo-
pie Informed concerning all agree
mentS with foreign nations. In all
of these undertakings we favor the
widest consultation of the gallant
men and women in our armed forces
who have a special right to speak
with authority in behalf of the
security and liberty for which they
fight. We shall sustain the consti-
tuition of the United States in the
attainment of our international
aims; and pursuant to the consti-
tuition of the United States any
treaty or agreement to attain such
aim made on the behalf of the
United States with any other ma
ton or any association of nations.
shall be made only by and with
the advice and consent of the SEN
ate of the United States provided
tWo-thirds of the senators present
concurred.
We shall at all times protect the
essential interest and recources of
the United States.
