SAN FRANCISOO, July 2.. —Framed after days and nights of strug- gle w:th clashing interests and opinions, the Regolutions Committee draft of the platform was laid before the Democratic National Convention to- day for adoption, The committee platform was silent on Prohibition enforcement. It was a long document, efforts to produce a brief, emphatic statement of principles having been balked from the outset. Foremost among the planks came @——————_____________ indorsement of the League of Na- tions and condemnation of the Re- publican Senate for having inter- posed “partisan and personal hatred” in‘the way of world peace. The Presi+ dent's stand against “reservations de- signed to cut to pieces the vital pro- visions 6f the Versailles Treaty” is applauded. Coupled with this decla~ ration went the statement, written In after a prolonged committee struggle, that the Democratic Party does not oppose “reservations making clearer or more, specific the obligatiens of tho United “States to the League asso- clates.”” Accompanying this was an asser- tion, now reaffirmed, that American vbligations as.a League member ‘must be fulfilled in strict conform- tty with the constitution of ihe United States, embodied in which is the fundamental requirement of dv- claratory action by the Congress be- fore this nation may become a@ par- tictpant 1m any war.” The Irish plank, centre.of hours of committee dispute, merely renews “within the limitations of interna- tional comity and usage” previous expressions of the Democratic party of’sympathy with aspirations for self government. The Armenian plank expresses sympathy, but is silent, on the ques- tion of acceptance by the United States of a mandate over that coun- uy. The Mexican plank asserts that the Administration, remembering 1, all circumstances that Mexico was’ a independent state, had been “unwill- ing either to profit by the misfortunes of the people of Mexico or to enfeeble thelr future by imposing from the outside a rule on their temporarily distracted counctis.” It adds: “At no \ime in many years have American lives and interests been so safe as they are now.” It asserts that “Mex- ico must realize the propriety of a policy that asserts the right of the United States to demand full protec- tion for its eltizens.” The platform gives warning of “well defined indications" of an im- pending assault upon “vital princi- ples” of the Federal Reserve System in the event of a Republican victory n November Failure to cnact tariff revision measures “through sheer political cowardice” also was charged against the Republicans. Claims of Repub- lean public economy were branded as false pretense,” but the attack on the Republicans reached its climax in parate plank devoted to “Republi- n Corruption.” This section discusses the “shock- ug disclosure of the lavish use of nioney” by candidates for the Re- publican Presidential nomination and the conviction of agRepublican Sena- vor {rom Michigan, charged with hav- ing violated Campaign Expenditures Laws, to draw the inference that there is indicated “the re-entry, un- der Republican ateplces, of moncy as an influential factor in elections,” and “stern popular rebuke" {ts invoked, The Republicans, the plank adds, control the Senate only by virtue of the Michigan election mentioned, THE PLATFORM. * Tho text of the platform reported by the committee is as follows: ‘The Democratic party, in its national convention now assembled, sends greetings to the President of tho United States, Woodrow Wilson, and halls with patriotic pride the great achievements for country and tho world wrought’ by a Democratic ad- ministration under his leadership. It salutes the mighty people of this great republic, emerging with impor- ishable honor from the severe tosts | and grievous strains of the most tragic | war in history, having earned the plaudits and the gratitude of all free nations, It declares its adherence to the fundamental progressive principles of social, economic and industrial justice and advance, and purposes to resume | the great work of translating theso principles into effective laws, begin and carried far by the Democratic ad- ministration and interrupted only when the war claimed all the national energies‘for the single task of vic- tory. LEAGUE OF NATIONS. The Democratic party favors the League of Nations as the sur- est, if not the only, practicable means of maintaining the perma nent peace of the world and ter- minating the insufferable burden of great military and naval tablishments, It was for this that America broke away from traditional isolation and spent her blood and treasure to crush a colossal scheme of conquest. It was upon this basis that the President of the United States, in pro- arrangement with our allies, consent- ed to a suspension of hostilities against the Imperial German Govern- ment, The armistice was granted and & treaty of peace negotiated upon the definite assurance to Germany, as well as the powers pitted against Ger- many, that “a general association of nations must be formed, under spe- cific covenants, for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of po- litical independence and territortas integrity to great and small states allke.” Hence we not only congratulate the President on the vision manifested and the vigor exhibited in the proses cution of the war, but we fellcitate him and his associates on the excep- tional achievements at Paris involved in the adoption of a league and treaty So near akin to previously expressed American ideals, and so intimately related to the aspirations of civilized peoples everywhere. We commend the President for his oourage and his high ooncep- tion of good faith in steadfastly standing for the covenant agreed to by all the associated and allied nations at war with Germany, and we condemn the Republican Sen- for its refusal to ratify the treaty, merely product of ship, thus envy and p way of the peace and rene prosperity of the world, By every accepted standard of in- ternational morality the President is justified in asserting that the honor of the country is involved in this busi- ness, and we point to the accusing fact that before it was determined to initiate political antagonism to the treaty the now Republican Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee himself publicly proclajmeé that any proposition for a separate eace with Germany, such as he and is party associates thereafter re- ported to the Senate, would make us “guilty of the blackest crime.” ‘On May 16 last the Knox substitute for the Versailles treaty was passed by the Republican Senate, and this convention can contrive no more fitting characterization of its obloquy than that mado in the Forum Maga- no result but this, our entrance into war with such an intention was a crime which nothing can justify, “The intent of Congress and the in- tent of the President was that thare could be no peace until we could cre- ate a situation where no such war as this could recur, We cannot mak» peace except in company with ovr allies. It would brand us with ever- lasting dishonor and bring ruin to us arate peace.” Thus to that which Mr. Lodge, In saner moments, considered “the blackest crime,” he and his party, in 8, sought to give the sanctity We endorse the President's view of our international obligations , and his firm stand against reser- vations designed to cut to pieces the vital provisions of the Ver- jes treaty, and we commend in Congress for for which would dis- ition, fication of the ty without reservations which would impair its essential intey rity; but we do not oppose the ac- geptance of any reservations mak- ng. ecific the euiiourene er ine United @tates in the League associates. Only by doing this may we retrieve the reputation of this nation among the power of the earth and recover the moral leadership whieh President Wilson won,.and which Republican politicians at Washington sacrificed Only by doing this may we hope to aid effectively in the restoration of order throughout the world and to take the place which we should as- sume in the front rank of spiritual, commercial and industrial advance- ment. We reject, as utterly vain, if not |viclous, ‘the Republican assumption that ratification of the treat and |membership in the League of Nations would in any way impair the In- tegrity or independence of our coun- |try. The fact that the cbvenant has been entered into by twenty-nine na- tions, all as jealous of their indepen- dence as we are of ours, is a suffi- clent repudiation of such a change. The President repeatedly has de- jelared, and this convention reaffirms, that all our duties and obligations as & member of the League must be fulfilled in strict conformity with the Constitution of the United States, embodied in which is the funda- ‘mental requirement of declaratory action by the Congress before thia Nation may become a participant in any W CONDUCT OF THE WAR. During the war President Wilson exhibited the very broadest concep- tion of liberal Americanism. In his conduct of the war, as in the General Administration of his high office, | there was no semblance of partisan bias. He Invited to Washington as his counsellors and co-adjutors hun- dreds of the most prominent and pronounced Republicans in the coun- try. To these he committed respon- sibilities of the gravest import and most confidential nature. Many of them had charge of vital activities ofthe Government. nd yet, with the war successfully prosecuted and gloriously ended, the Republican Party in Congress, far from applauding the masterly leader- ship of the President and felicitating the country on the amazihg achieve- ments of the American Government, has meanly requited the considerate course of the Chief Magistrate by savagely defaming the Commander- in-Chief of the Army and Navy, and by assailing nearly every public of- ficer of every branch of the service, intimately concerned in winning the war abroad, and preserving the se- curity of the Government at home, We express to the soldiers and sailors of America the admiration of Ase ; that, which eighteen months ) ago was ‘everlasting dishonor,” the Republican party and its cand dates to-day accept as the essence of- faith.

FINANCIAL ACHIEVEMENTS. A review of the record of the Dem- ocraic Party during the Administra- tion of Woodrow Wilson presents a chapter of substantial achievements unsurpassed in the history of the Republic. For fifty years before the advent of this Administration, period- \teal convulsions had:impeded the in- |dustrial, progress of the American people dnd caused inestimable loss and distress. By the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act, the old sys- tem, which bred panics, was replaced by a’new system which Insured con- fidence. It was an indispensable factor in winning the war and to-day {t 1s the hope and inspiration of bus! ness. Indeed one vital danger against which the American people should keep constantly on guard 1s the com- mitment of this system to partisan enemies who struggled against ity adoption and vainly attempted to re- tain in the hands of speculative bankers a monopoly of the currency and credits of the Nation, Already there are well-defined indications ot an assault upon the vital principles of the system in the event of Repub- Nean success tn the elections in No- vember. Under Democratic leadership the American people successfully fin- anced their stupendous part in the greatest war of all time. The Treas- (Continued on Fifth Page.)
