domesticated the deficit, doubled the debt, imposed taxes where they do the greatest economic harm, and used public money for partisan political advantage. Instead of the blessings of liberty the Administration has imposed upon us a regime of regimentation which has deprived the individual of his freedom and has made of America a shackled giant.

IX * Wholly ignoring these -great objectives as solemnly declared by the people of the United States, the New Deal Administration has for seven long years whirled in a furmoil ‘of shifting, cohtradictory and overlapping administrations and policies. Confusion has reigned supreme. The only steady undeviating characteristic has been ‘the relentless expansion of the ‘power of the Federal Government over the everyday life of the farmer, the industrial worker and the business man. The emergency demands organization—not confusion. If demands free and intelligent cooperation—not incompetent domination. It demands a change. The New Deal Administration has failed America.

pendent upon Government, thus weakening their morale apd quenching the traditional American spirit. It has failed by viciously attacking our industrial system and sapping its strength and vigor. It has failed by attempting to

world’s most tragic hour, so that we might be eased into the war by word or deed during the absence of our elected representatives from Washington. It has failed by disclosing military details of our equipment to foreign powers over protests b$§ the heads of our armed defense. It has failed by ignoring the lessons of fact concerning modern, mechanized, armed defense. In these and countless other ways the New Deal Administration has either deliberately deceived the American people or proved itself incompetent longer to handle the affairs of our Government. The zero hour is here. America must prepare at once to defend our

shores, our homes, our lives and our

most cherished ideals. To establish a first line of defense we must place in official positions men of faith who put America first and who are determined that her govérnmental and economic system be kept unimpared. Our national defense must be so strong that no unfriendly power shall ever set foot on American soil. To assure this strength our national economy, the true basis of America’s defense, must be free of unwarranted Government interference. Only a strong and sufficiently prepared America, can speak words of reassurance and hope to the libertyloving peoples of the world.

NATIONAL DEFENSE

- The Republican Party is firmly opposed to-involving this nation in foreign war. We are still suffering from the ill effects of the last World War:—A war which cost us a twenty-four billion dollar increase in: our national debt, billions of uncollectable foreign debts, and the complete upset of our economic spstem, in addition to the loss of human life and irreparable damage to: the health of thousands of our boys. The present National Administration has already spent for all purposes more than fifty-four billion dollars—has boosted the national debt and current Federal taxes, to an all-time high;and yet by {he President’s own admission we are still wholly unprepared to defend our country, its institutions and our individual liberties in a war that threatens to engulf the whole world; and this in spite of the fact that foreign wars have been in progress for two years or more and that military information concerning these wars and the rearmament programs of the warring nations has been at all times available to the National Administration through its diplomatic and other channels. The Republican Party stands €or Americanism, preparedness and peace. We. accordingly fasten upon the New Deal full responsibility for our unpreparedness and for the consequent danger of involvement in war. . We declare for. the prompt, orderly, and realistic building of our national defense to the point at which we shall be able not only to defend the United States, its possessions, and essential outposts from foreign attack, but also efficiently to uphold in war the Monroe Doctrine. To this task the Republican Party pledges itself when entrusted with national authority. In the meantime we shall support all necessary and proper defence

| measures proposed by the Adminis-

tration in its belated effort to make up for lost time; but we deplore explosive utterances by the President directed at other governments which serve to imperil our peace; and we condemn all executive acts and proceedings which might lead to war without the authorization of the Congress of the United States. Our sympathies have been profoundly stirred by invasion of unoffending countries and by disaster to nations whose ideals most closely resemble our own. We favor the extension to all peoples fighting for

ened, of such aid as shall net be in violation of international law or inconsistent with the requirements of our own Dational defense.

ITCHING, BURNING OF BECLE

(CUTICURA

We believe that the spirit which should eliminate our entire defensive policy is determination to preserve not our material interests merely, but those liberties which are the priceless heritage of America. : RE-EMPLOYMENT The New Deal’s failure to solve the problem of unemployment and revive opportunity for our youth presents a major challenge to representative government and free enterprise. We propose to recreate opportunity for the youth of America and put our idle millions back to work in private industry, business and agriculture. We propose to eliminate needless administrative restrictions, thus restoring lost motion to the wheels of individual enterprise.

RELIEF

We shall remove waste, discrimination, and politics from relief— through administration by _the states with Federal grants-in-aid on a fair and non-political basis, thus giving the man and woman on

appropriated. SOCIAL SECURITY We favor the extension of necessary old-age benefits on an earmarked pay-as-you-go basis to the extent that the revenues raised for this purpose will permit. “We favor the extension of the unemployment compensation provisions of the Social Security Act, wherever practicable, to those groups and classes not now included. For such groups as may thus be covered we favor a system of unemployment compensation with experience rating provisions, aimed at protecting the worker in the regularity of his employment and providing adequate compensation for reasonable periods when that regularity of employment is interrupted. The administration should be left with the states with a minimum of federal control. LABOR RELATIONS The Republican Party has always protected - the American worker. We shall maintain labor’s right of free organization and collective bargaining. We believe that peace and prosperity at home require harmony, teamwork, and understanding in all relations between worker and employer. When differences arise, they should be settled directly and voluntarily across the table.

administration of the National Labor Relations Act require that this act be amended in fairness to employers and all groups of employees so far. as to provide true freedom for, and orderliness in selforganization and collective bargaining. AGRICULTURE A prosperous and stable agriculture is the foundation of our economic structure. Its preservation is a national and non-political social problem not yet solved, despite many attempts. The farmer is entitled to a profit-price for his products. . The Republican. Party will put into effect such governmental policies, temporary and permanent, as will establish and maintain an equitable balance between labor, industry, and agriculture by expanding industrial and business activity, eliminating unemployment, lowering production costs, thereby creating increased consumer buying power for agricultural products. Until this balance has been attained, we propose to provide benefit payments,.based upon a widelyapplied, constructive soil conservation program {ree from govern-ment-dominated production control, but administered, as far as practicable, by farmers themselves: to restrict the major benefits of these payments to operators of family-type farms; to continue all present benefit payments until our program becomes operative; and to eliminate the present extensive and costly bureaucratic interference. We shall. provide incentive payments, when necessary, to encourage increased production of agricultural commodities adaptable fo our soil and climate, not new. produced in sufficient quantities for our home markets, and will stimulate the use and processing of all farm products in industry as raw materials. We shall promote a co-operative system of adequate farm credit, at lowest interest rates commensurate with the cost of money, supervised by an independent governmental agency, with ultimate farmer ownership and control; farm commodity loans to facilitate orderly marketing and stabilize farm income; the expansion of, sound, farmer-owned and farmer-controlled associations; and the support of educational and extension programs to achieve more efficient production and marketing. We shall foster Government re-

relief a larger share-of the funds.

N enterprise,

Chairman Herbert K. Hyde addressing. the members of the G. 0. P. plattorm committee during its

Avsiiclig, where necessary, of the heavy Federal: farm debt ‘load through an agency segregated from co-operative credit. We shall promote a national land use program for Federg] acquisition, without dislocation of local tax returns, of non-productive farm lands by voluntary sale or lease subject to approval of the states concerned; and the disposition of such lands to appropriate public uses includihg watershed protection and flood prevention, reforestation, recreation, erosion control, and the conservation of wild life. We advocate a foreign trade policy which will end one-man tariff making, afiord effective protection to farm products, regain our export markets, and assure an American price level for the domestically consumed portion of our export crops. We favor effective quarantine against imported livestock, dairy, and other farm ‘products from countries which do not impose health and sanitary standards equal to our own domestic standards. We approve the orderly development of reclamation and irrigation, project by project and as conditions

justify.

We promise adequate assistance to rural communities suffering disasters from flood, “drought, and other natural causes. We shall promote stabilization of agricultural income through intelligent management of accumulated surpluses, and through the development of outlets by supplying those in need at home and abroad. We are threatened by unfair competition in world markets and by the invasion of our home markets, especially by the products of statecontrolled foreign economies. We believe in tariff protection for agriculture, labor and industry, as essential to our American standard of living. The measure of the protection “shall be determined by scientific methods with due regard to the interest of the consumer. We shall explore every possibility 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 consideration of our domestic producers, and without eongressional approval. These defects we shall correct.

MONEY

The Congress should reclaim its constitutional powers over money, and withdraw the President's arbitrary authority to manipulate the currency, establish bimetalism, issue irredeemable paper money, and debase the gold and silver coinage. We shall repeal the Thomas inflation amendment of 1933 and the (foreign). silver.purchase act of 1934, and take all possible steps to preserve the value of the Government's huge holdings of gold and reiniroduce gold into circulation. JOBS AND IDLE MONEY Believing it possible to. keep the securities market clean without paralyzing it, we endorse the principles of truth in securities in the Securities Acts. To get billions of idle dollars and a multitude of idle men back to work and to promote national defense, these acts should be revised and tha policies of the commission 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 revise 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 otherwise obtainable under existing law. PUBLIC CREDIT With urgent need for adequate defense, the people are burdened by a direct: and contirigent debt exceeding fifty billion dollars. Twenty:

UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES

We vigorously condemn the New Deal encouragement of © various groups that seek to change the American form of government by means outside the Constitution. We condemn the appointment of members of such un-American groups to high positions of trust in the National Government. The development of the treacherous socalled Fifth Column, as it has

SMALL BUSINESS

The New Deal policy of interference and arbitrary regulation has injured all business, but especially’ small business. We promise to encourage the small businessman by removing unnecessary bureaucratic regulation and interference.

We favor regulation of stock and commodity exchanges. They should be accorded the fullest measure of self-control consistent with the discharge of their public trust and ‘the prevention of abuse.
