Vycitil Hardware Cleveland, Ohio.--Almost^* complete reassertion of the Constitution of the United States, in the face of three long years of attack upon it by the New Deal, was the platform adopted by the Republican National convention here. To its restatement of the American principles of a national liberty based upon personal liberty was added the vigor of a telegram from Gov. A1-- fred M. Landon of Kansas, making clear his interpretation of certain important planks as the unanimously selected nominee of the party for tbfe Presidency. " The platform roundly condemned the New t)eal fOr the President's usurpation of the. powers of congress; flaunting the Supreme court; violation of citizens' liberties; countenancing dangerous monopoly; passing laws contrary to the Constitution; violation of the Bill of Rights, and repudiating the sacred obligations and traditions of the nation. It deplored federal waste and use of public funds to political ends; unfair investigations; Intimidation of industry^ coercion of voters; ap]»eals to class prejudice and destruction of public morale. A summary of the platform follows: Constitutional Government and Free Enterprise We pledge ourselves: .J 1. To maintain the American system "of Constitutional and local self gov erHuient, and to resist all attempts to Impair the authority of the Supreme court of the United States, the final protector of the rights of our citizens against the arbitrary encroachments of the legislative and executive branches of government. 2. To preserve the American system of free enterprise, private competition, and equality of opportunity. Re-Employment. The only permanent solution of the Onemployment problem is the absorption of the unemployed by industry and agriculture. (To this end, the platform advocated abandonment of all New Deal restrictive, competitive and coercive policies--especially those which restrict production.) Relief. To end confusion, partisanship, waste and Incompetence, we pledge: 1. The return of responsibility for relief administration to non-polltlcal 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 provided from the revenues of states and local governments^ (b) all engaged In relief administration to be selected on the toasis of merit and fitness; (c) adequate provision to be made for the encouragement of those persons who are trying to become self-supporting. 3., Undertaking of federal public Works only on their merits and separate from the administration of relief. 4. A prompt determination of the fhcts concerning relief and unemployment. - Security. We propose a system of old age security, based upon the following principles : 1. Pay-as-you-go. 2. Every American citizen over sixty- live should receive the supplementary payment necessary to provide a minimum Income sufficient to protect Lilm or her from want. 3. Each state and territory, upon complying with simple and general minimum standards, should receive from the federal government a graduated contribution in proportion to its own, up to a fixed maximum. 4. To make this program consistent with sound fiscal policy the federal revenues for this purpose must be provided from the proceeds of a direct tax widely distributed. All will be benefited and all should "contribute. We propose to encourage adoption by the states and territories of honest and practical measures for meeting the problems of unemployment insurance. Labor. "7 .,>••;: We pledge ourselves to: Protect the right of labor to organize and to bargain collectively through representatives of its own choosing without interference from any source. Prevent governmental Job holders from exercising autocratic powers over labor. Support the adoption of state laws and Interstate compacts to abolish sweatshops and child labor, and to protect women and children with respect to maximum hours, minimum wages and working conditions. We believe that this can be done within the Con* ttitutlon as it now stands. Agriculture. ' ^ Following the wreck of the restrictive and coercive AAA, the New Deal administration has taken to Itself the principles of the Republican policy of soil conservation and laud retirement. This action opens the way for a nonpolitical and permanent solution. Such a solution cannot be had under a New Deal administration which misuses the program to serve partisan ends, to promote scarcity and to limit by coercive methods the farmer's control .over bis own farm. Oflr paramount object is to protect and foster thts family type of farm, traditional in American life, and to Eitabliih Naraery The nursery established In the church hall of the Croydon Methodist church, England, provides toys and cradles free so that mothers may .at* tend the services. LANDON'S TELEGRAM Cleveland, Ohio. -- Clarifying beyond a doubt his interpretation of the platform of the Republican party^ in the coining election. Governor Landon, the nominee, witihfhe forthrightness and honesty^wnich has characterized his participation in public affairs, dispatched the following telegram (in part) to the Republican National convention before his nomination: "Under the title of labor the platform commits the Republican party as follows: 'Support the adoption of state laws and interstate compacts to abolish sweat shops and child labor, and to protect women and children with respect to maximum hours, minimum 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 it now stands. But if that opinion should prove to be erroneous, I want you to know that, if nominated and elected. I shall favor a Constitutional amendment permitting the states to adopt such legislation as may be necessary adequately to protect women and children in the matter of maximum hours, minimum wages, and working conditions. This oblij^ian we cannot escape. "The convention. advocate* .'a sound currency to be preserved at all hazards.' I agree that 'the first requisite to a sound and stable currency is a balanced budget.' The second requisite, as I view it, is a currency expressed in terms of gold and convertible into gold. "I recognize, however, that the second requisite must not be made effective until" and unless it 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 restoration, improvement and extension. "In carrying out thre pledge I believe that there should be included within the merit system every position in the administrative service below .the rank of assistant secretaries of major departments and agencies, and that this inclusion should cove: the entire postoffice department. - "ALFRED M. LANDOM." promote policies which will bring about an adjustment of agriculture to meet, the needs of domestic and foreign iuiy-kets. As an emergency measure, during the agricultural depression, federal benefit payments or grants-in-aid when administered within the means of the federal government are 0011 sistent with a balanced budget. . We propose: 1. To facilitate economical produc tion and increased consumption on a basis of abundance instead of scarcity. 2. A national land-use program, including the acquisition of abandoned and non-productive farm lands by voluntary sale or lease, subject to approval of the legislative and executive branches of th-> states concerned, and the devotion of such land to appro priate public use. 3. That an agricultural policy be pursued for the protection and restoration of the land resources, designed to bring about such a balance between soil-building and soil-depleting crops as will permanently insure productivity, with reasonable benefits to co-operating farmers on family-type farms, but so regulated as to eliminate the New Deal's destructive policy towards the dairy and live, stock industries. 4. To extenQ experimental aid to farmers developing new crops suited to our soil and climate. 6. To promote the Industrial use of farm pcoducts by applied science. 6. To protect the American farmer against importation of all live stock, dairy, and agricultural products, substitutes therefor, and derivatives therefrom, which will depress American farm prices. . 7. To provide effective quarantine against imported livestock, dairy and other farm products from countries which do not Impose health and sanitary regulations fully equal tor Those required of our own producers. 8. To provide for ample farm credit at rates as low as those enjoyed by other Industries, including commodity and livestock loans, and preference in land loans to' the farmer acquiring or refinancing a farm as a home. 9. To provide for decentralized, non partisan control of the Farm Credit administration and the election by ha tlonal farm loan associations of at least one half of each board of directors of the federal loan banks, and thereby remove these institutions from politics. 10. To provide In the Case of agricultural products of which there are exportable surpluses^ 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 llm lted to the productive level of the family type farm. 11. To encourage and further develop co-operative marketing. 12. To furnish government assist ance in disposing of surpluses in for eign trade by bargaining for foreign markets selectively by countries both as to exports and imports. We stren uously oppose so-called reciprocal treaties which trade off the American farmer. , 13. To give every reasonable assist ance to producers in areas suffering from temporary disaster, so that the) nay regain and maintain a self-supporting status. Tariff. We would kec$ on the free llat ill products not grown or produced in thf United States In commercial quantities. As to all commodities that commercially compete with our farms, our forests, our mines, our fisheries, our oil wells, our labor and our industries, sufficient protection should be maintained at all tides to defend the American farmer and the American wage earner from the destructive competition emanating from the subsidies of foreign governments and the imports from low-wage and depreciatedcurrency countries. We will repeal the present reciprocal trade agreement law. • g We will restore the principle of flexible tariff. ] We will adjust tariffs with a view to promoting International trade, the stabilization of currencies, and the attainment of a proper balance between agriculture ^and industry. • „ - - We condemn the secret negotiation of reciprocal trade treaties without public hearing or legislative approval. Monopolies. We favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal laws, as well as the civil laws, against monopolies and tru&ts and their officials, and we demand the enactment of such additional legislation as is liecessary to make • Itimpossible for private monopoly J.oes.-. 1st In the United States. Regulation of business. j • ! We recognize the existfnee of a field j-within which governmental regulation | is desirable and salutary. The author- ! it.v to regulate should be vested In an Independent tribunal acting under eh»ar and specific laws establishing definite standards. Their deterinink-. j tions on law and f^cts should be subject to review by the courts. We favor j federal regulation, "within the Constitution, of the marketing of securities ; to protect Investors. We favor also 1 federal regulation of the Interstate aej tivities of public utilities, j ;« Civil Service. ! We pledge ourselves to the merit | system, virtually destroyed by New j Deal spoilsmen. It should be restored, ) improved and extended. Government Finance, j We pledge "ourselves to: * I Stop the folly of uncontrolled spending. Balance the. budget--not by increasing taxes but by cutting expenditures, drastically and immediately. I Revise the federal tax system and co-ordinate It with state and local tax systems. Use the taxing power for raising revenue and ' not"'"fW ,Jj»uifiItl¥¥~dr - po* lltical purposes. Money and Banking. We advocate a sound currency to be preserved at all hazards. The first requisite to a sound and stable currency is a 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 bf repealing all the laws delegating this authority to the Executive. 1' National Defense We favor an army and navy, Including air forces, adequate for our National Defense. We will co-operate with other nations in the limitation of armaments and control of traffic In arms. Bill of Rights. We pledge ourselves to preservie, protect and defend, against all Intimidation and threat, freedom of religion, speech, press and radio; and the right of assembly and petition and immunity from unreasonable searches and seizures. We offer the abiding security of a government of laws as against the autocratic perils of a government of men. Furthermore. 1. We favor the construction by the federal government of head-water storage basins to prevent floods, subject to the approval of the legislative and executive branches of the government of the states whose lands are concerned. 2. We favor equal opportunity for our colored citizens. We pledge our protection of their economic status and personal safety. We will do our best to further their employment in the gainfully occupied life of America, particularly In private Industry, agrlcuFtupe. emergency agencies and the civil service. - t . 8. To our Indian population we; pledge every, effott on the part of the national government to ameliorate living conditions for them. 4. We pledge continuation of the Republican policy of adequate compensation and care for veterans disabled in the. service of our country and for their widows, orphans and de-. pendents. 5. We shall use every effort to collect the war debt due us from foreign countries amounting to $12,000,000,000 --one-third of our national debt. 6. We are opposed to legislation which discriminates against wom^n in federal and state employment. . Conclusion. We sssume the obligations and 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 responsibilities essential to the preservjfcrion of a free society. In conclusion, the platform emphasised the fact that the great national crisis and the Issues involved transcended party lines, and cailed for ft united front, regardless of party.,.
