Republican Platform Emphasizes Wartime Peace and Fiscal Restraint
The GOP calls for global agreement to prevent war, endorses the Permanent Court of International Justice, and rejects League obligations. It pledges major tax and debt reductions, tighter budgets, merit-based civil service enforcement, and opposition to foreign debt cancellation. It advocates balanced agriculture commerce labor, tariff support, limited government control of business, a merchant marine, and veterans welfare, with emphasis on resource safeguarding and clean governance. Election of a Republican Congress to implement principles and broader alien education and naturalization reforms are urged, along with reduced armed forces.
