THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1936 Platform Calls for Sound Currency; Does Not Mention Gold PRDERAL GRANTS 0 = pie STATES FOR RELIEF PURPOSES FAVORED Promote Economy of ‘Plenty Rather Than Scarcity Is Nub of Farm Plank Cleveland, June 11.—(#)—The Re- publican platform, as it neared com- pletion in subcommittee Thursday, called for a “sound currency to be preserved at all hazards,” made no mention of gold, and said that wage and hour standards could be set by the states without a constitutional amendment. The words “sound currency to be preserved at all hazards” were a literal repetition of those in the currency plank written for the 1932 Democratic Pplatform~by Senator Carter Glass of Virginia. Some of the ottier chief points of the platform as it stood in the subcom+ mittee at that time were: Relief—Return to local agencies to be handled through federal grants to states. For Jobless Insurance : Security—Repeal the unemployment and old age insurance sections of the Present law, which it called “unwork- able,” but provide for old age security and graduated contributions to the states to help maintain unemployment insurance plans. Labor—“Protect the rights of labor te bargain collectively” and encourage state adoption of laws and compacts to abolish child labor, sweatshops and Protect women and children with re- spect to maximum hours, minimum ‘wages and working conditions. “We believe this can be done under the con- stitution as it stands,” he said. Agriculture—Promote an economy of plenty instead of scarcity; a national Jand use program, including acquisi- tion of submarginal lands for public use; protection of land resources by @ balance between soil building and soil depleting crops with reasonable benefits to cooperating farmers on “family farms.” Monopoly Scored Monopoly—Called “indefensible and intolerable;” favored vigorous enforce- ment of criminal and civil anti-mon- opoly laws with additional legisla- tion to make monopolies impossible. Foreign Relations—Pledged against entangling alliances with foreign na- tions; against entrance into the ae of Nations and the World k ome Platform declared for protec- Teacher Slain ———_—____-S= Charles Wesley Phy (above), 27, In. structor In the English department at Lehigh university, wa death by Wesley Clow, who then killed himself, in an argu- ment over re-examination.

On the tariff, the platform draft | declared for keeping on the free list all products not grown or produced in the United States in commercial quantities. As for imports that com- pete with American products, the draft said “sufficient protection should be maintained at all times to defend the American farmer and the | American wage earner from the de- structive competition emanating from the subsidies of foreign governments and the imports from low-wage and depreciated-currency countries.” It_ added: “We will repeal the present rect- procal trade agreements law. It is a futile and dangerous policy. Its ef- fect on agriculture and industry has ‘been wholly evil. The continuation of this policy would work to the detri- ment of the wage earner and farmer. Want Flexible Tariff “We will restore the principle of the flexible tariff in order to meet changing economic conditions here , jand abroad and broaden by careful definition the powers of the tariff commission in order to extend this Policy along non-partisan lines. . . “We condemn the secret negotia- tion of reciprocal trade treaties with- out public hearing or legislative ap- proval.” On monopoly it said: “A private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable. It menaces and, if continued, will utterly destroy consti- tutional government and the liberty of the citizen... “We will employ the full powers of the government to the end that monopoly shall be eliminated and that free enterprise shall be fully re- stored and maintained.” “We favor federal regulation, with- in the constitution, of the marketing of securities to protect investors,” the Graft said.
