was on this point that both the sub
committee and the full committee were
divided. practically on geographical
lines. the eastern members faVOring
condemnation of Imperialism, while
most of the members from the western
states opposed this course. A plank de-
nOuncing imperialism was finally

ing and afternoon sessions was spent
