therein were: Senator Borah, Senator
Lodge, Senator Hemingway, Chair

tary training, supplied and controlled
by the federal government, the pro-

Standing for peace, the progressives
declare that an adequate military es-
tablishment for defense, sufhclent 10
guarantee American rights on land
and sea and to uphold the honor OF
the nation, is a basic duty OF the gov

Linked with their declaration for a

cial Justice imperative. Regulation of

commission are declared to be essen
tal to meet with the mObilized pro-
duction OF Europe following the war.
The Platform.
The platform follows:
"This Is the year for decision for
the nations future. AS we now de-
eide, SO shall we go forward in
righteousness and power or backward
in degradation and weakness.
"Of necessity we deal now with the
following of our national life: We are
facing elements Of force of right and
wrong, of national peril. Our present
choice Of path will be irreyocable. The
tradition of isolation has been ended.
The United States is now part Of a
world system OF civilization. We
stand or fall as we prepare to take
our parts in peace or war and hold
our own therein.
"As members Of an international
community, we are subject to certain
basic duties.
ITO secure the rights and equal
treatment of our citizens; native or
naturalized, on land and sea without
regard to race, creed or nativity.

was not discounted. Nor was the fact
that whereas yesterdays republican
conclaye evoked no demonstration ex-
ceeding one minute, the progressive
forgot the weather and staged an
hour and thirty-four minute frenzy
of enthusiasm. Even the charge that
the progressive outburst was sus-
piciously well-stage-managaa, did not
