 The foreign relations plank will set forth the unprecedented conditions that have arisen as a, result of the war and it will be pointed out that while President Wilson has kept us from strife he has also maintained a neutrality both ''strict and honest" :
 The plank on the Mexican situation will develop that this question has been approached with the idea of Keeping pace not only with the Mex ican republic but to maintain peace within her own borders. @
 On the question of preparedness the platform will assert that the party has met the demands of the worldwide situation by an advanced stage of of the navy and the en- 1argement of the army and the re- of the National Guard.
