Nomination in Chi cago Takes Issue With Cool idge On Foreign Policy For Bonus, Tax Reduction. CHICAGO, Nov. -28. After Joining Issues on national problems with the presont federal administration in his address here last, night Senator Hiram Johnson today had before the country the principles which, he let it be known, are to form the background of his campaign for tho republican presi dential nomination. With his dec laration as a basis the senator already has announced plans to set under way his fight for delegates to the narty nominating convention. Senator Johnson during the course of his first public uttoranco slnco an nouncing himself as a presidential candidate, expressed opposition to tho administration foreign policy, gave endorsement to the soldiers' bonus and to a plan for reduction of taxes on incomes, as well as suggesting reme dies for the country's agricultural ills. Opposition to any policy that would commit this country to "undisclosed European adventures" was declared by Senator Johnson. Know' Nothing Policy "I do not protest aEainst an Ameri can policy toward Europe," the- Cali fornia senator said. "I protest against an American policy which does not know what it Ib and which seems to discover itsolf.'or to hide Itself by first going Into a conference with Europe." Senator Johnson roferrod to the proposal for a reparations conference made by the national government as a "transparent subtorfugo contrived y gentlemen, who .having notoriously tried and notoriously fulled to get us Into the politics of Europe directly through the League of Nations, now wish to get us into the politics of Eu rope through the indirect road of pro lending that a participation in Euro pean affairs In a conference called by governments and consisting of the nn- polntees of governments, would n"t take us into European affairs." From foreign affairs, the senator turned to a discussion of the soldiers' bonus. He declared thai "the respon sible heads of the dominant political party have for pone years pledged themselves and their na'ty to the sol diers' adjusted compensation act. It constitutes no win reality a promise, a solemn pledge and we must keep faith." Even with the bonus, taxes could bo reduced, according to Snatnr John son, who read figures completed by the treasury department and Ameri can Legion to substantiate his state ment. Lower Freight Rates "Tt Is obvious that the farmer has been compelled lo sell Tor loss than the coBt of production," tho senator said. "Some would have the American tax paver generally make up to the farm er that which Is unjustly take nfrom , him, first by the railroad companies and secondly by tho middlemen. I dj not wish to embark the government on this kind of enterprise. "The Initial step In the relief of the farmer Is lower freight rates. I would not be unjust to the transportation companies, but that they could reduce the rates upon farm products I have little doubt; and If the inter-state com merce commission were to function with the celerity and certainty we de sire, rates more In consonance with (Continued on Pago Six) NEW YORK.
