California Senator in Opening
Speech of Campaign for
G. 0. P. 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
