"Surely no republican has grounds for denouncing or deserting his party in the face of such a record of achievement for the people' welfare. vhere u the republican or demo crat who would luive hi government tail or refuse to pay the interest on its bonded indebtedness? "Congres ha been legislating more to the Interests of the farmers than any other line of industry. The house last May enacted the co-operating marketing bill. The senate enacted it a few days ago. ' "The War Finance corporation act has done and will continue to do, much towards relieving the stress of the agriculture interests. "Another act has been the one providing funds for the Farm Loan board. ' L "The emergency tariff act was thought to provide real protection for grain and did check importation. The bounteous crop produced in this coun try, however, was in excess of our own needs so that world conditions affected the price of grain, notwith standing the act. The president has a keen interest in the farmer's welfare, evidenced by tne late conference. 1 feel sure the president and congress are ready to do anything practicable for the bet terment of agricultural interests. The idea is becoming generally prevalent that the farmer s worst time has passed. "At the election on November 3, 1920, the will of the nation was made manifest by an overwhelming: major ity. The verdict announced to the world that the republic was to con tinue free and independent in its do mestic affairs and in the conduct of its foreign relations; -that this nation will never desert the -'standard of freedom, but must always be its own judge of the time, the place, and the method of defending liberty. ' Champion of Americanism. "That election elevated to thty.pres idency a sturdy champion of Ameri canism, a republican backed by the senate and house of the' same party. When the voters turned down the fantastic league devised at Paris, this country moved steadily toward a po sition where it might exercise its own free judgment of problems confront ing it and the world, without subor dinating its will to a foreign tribunal. Our country, had it 'surrendered con trol of its policies to foreigners, could not have assumed the moral leader ship of the world. On November 12, 1921, this nation revealed to the world the might and majesty of a people capable of maintaining its own freedom and of aiding peoples of other nations to gain it. , "I was present at the opening of the conference, when assembled in response to the president's invita tion.

"We' can' say with absolute as surance that this diminution in the weapons of -'war has been accom panied by a great augmentation of national security. "The results of the conference are: "(a) A 15-year naval holiday. "(b) A' four-power treaty for peace in the Pacific. "(c) Limitation of submarine warfare. "(d) Limitation of use of poison gas.
