King, Democrat. | of Utah, has joined Southern Demo- 1 erats in opposing platform proposals by | Chatrman John J. Raskob of the Demo- cratic National Committee. “In my opinion,” Senator King said | yesterday, “the industrial and economic questicns are paremount, and upon those issues the Democrats can win the next national election.” The Utah Senator said he did not question the right of Mr. Raskob to give his views to the party, or to seek the views of the National Committee, | “but it is obvious neither Raskob nor the National Committee can or will frame a Democratic platform.” King directed his attack at Raskob’s economic program, particularly oppos- ing the chairman's plan to liberalize | the anti-trust laws. He announced he | was drafting legisiation to strengthen | the anti-trust laws. “If the Sherman anti-trusj law is weakened, the small business man will | oyed and industry will be con- | trolled by a few gigantic monopolies. | Either we have got to prevent trusts and monopolies or regulate them. | “I admire Mr. Raskob, but I am not in agreement with all his views on economic and industrial problems, nor | do 1 think they will be adopted by the | party convention.” Poland Seeks $40,000,000 Loan.
