Mann issued a statement that he would favor “uninstructed” delegations from the South in 1932, which was interpreted as “obviousi hostile to the Hoover administration It one of the efects of the Presi- dent’s refusal to recognize the various Mann organizations as well as his in- sistence on the resignation of Claudius Huston as chairman of the Republican National Committee. This Southern Republican organiza- tion recently was launched at a confer- ence held in Georgia. The chain of newspapers is to be one feature of an intensive educational campaign includ- ing the use of radio broadcasts and dis- tribution of literature to wrest the so-called “solid South” from the Demo- cratic party. As soon as the charter has been | issued the list of permanent officers will be announced. Principles Set Forth. In a declaration of principles and objectives issued by Col. Mann it was emphasized that the new organization-— 1s opposed to “participation by our Government in foreign leagues” which will “inevitably * * * Teduce the American economic_lev Is opposed to “further sacrifice of American to foreign interests.” Urges “deportation of hundreds ofydhd duties. thousands of aliens {llegally in this country.” _ Urges passage of Federal laws for jailing or deporting of Communists and others opposed to this Government. Is opposed to “further invasion of Federal power upon State and local rights and duties. Is opposed to finance and indust ““This movement,” said Col Mann, “is not for or against any candidate for office or any faction. Under present circumstances the popular political thought of the South has no means of expression. For the first half century of the Nation's existence Southern statesmen were our most influential national leaders. During the last half century Southern sentiment has played a small and declining part in national affairs. “The Democratic party, to which the South naturally became attached due to issues arising out of the Civil War and the reconstruction period, has fallen into the hands of a group of Northern city political machines, corrupt or- ganizations interested only in jobs, con- tracts and licensed lawlessness. This leadership is alien in spirit to the South. It has taken the solid South for granted politically and treated it accordingly. Henry Clay'’s Policies, “The dominant popular sentiment of the South, now that the issues of the Civil War have disappeared, favors, as it did before these issues arose, the ‘Whig policies of Henry Clay, which he called the American system; the sys- tem of intensive internal manufactur- ing and agricultural development based on higher standards of living for the entralization of masses than those prevalling in the Old World, and fully safeguarded by the protective system, through which alone such standards could be pre- served from destructi competition with lower alien standards. ““We are opposed to that political and economic internationalism which is only anti-nationalism. The manipulations of such internationalism are directly re- sponsible for our present conditions of depression and unemployment. The Republican party nationally has too much fallen under the influence of in- ternational investors whose financial in- terest lies in the direction of sacrificing American to foreign interests. This small_but_powerful predatory element owns the Tammanyized Democracy. ‘We oppose participation by our Gov- welors o i America nant. This proposal having been re- jected by the American people, it is now Sought to attain it by other means. “We are against further sacrifice of American to foreign interests. While there is unemployment of serious pro- portions in the United States we believe that there is no excuse for permitting the displacement of the product of the American factory, mine and farm by foreign commoditics cheapened through starvation wages for workers, and that there is no justification for swelling the | ranks of our unemployed by the yearly | admission of & vast army of emigrants | from foreign lands. We believe that so far from this being an unfriendly policy toward the rest of the world, the pros- perity of the United States is essential to the prosperity and stability of the world generally. Principles Not Applied. “The present depression represents no fallure of Republican policies, but a failure promptly and fully to apply Re- publican policies. The Democratic party offers as an alternative the stupid plan of further destruction of our economic defenses, a policy which may have had some justification while the South was strictly agricultural, but is a menace to the industrial growth which has begun to give the South its share of the bene- fits of the protective policy. “We oppose further invasion of Fed- eral power upon State and local rights We oppose further ad- vances toward State socialism, which abandons the American tradition of manly independence for the individual and accepts the outworn European tradition of the citizens as a slave to power holding politicians. “It is a significant fact, as shown by the recent Senate investigation, that the present intense agitation on the prohibition question has been heavily financed by powerful interests having an object in dividing the American peo- ple bitterly on a question of domestic E:HCY, in order that their attention may diverted from a conspiracy by these same interests to reduce the American masses to the general low economic level of the rest of the world for the profit of a few. We are opposed to that over- centralization of finance and industry, which is destroying States’ rights, in- dependent industry, banking and mer- chandising, and which, not satisfied with the merging policy in the United States, is chiefly responsible for the pro- ram of merging American industry, ance and politics with that of the rest of the world.” Acrobatics Feature Carnival.
