Resolution Adopted.
The following resolution was adopted
by the convention:
"Resolved by this convention, That
we accept the Presidents statement of
the war aims of the allies SO far as it
refers to no punitive 1ndemnities. no
exclusive economic leagues and no dis
memberment of empires: that we urge
the allied powers to make similar clear
and unmistakable statements of their
aims, in order to deprive tho German
conviction Of the German people that
the autocracy is their only defense
against Acknowledgement and economic
destruction. and that we urge the Pres
ident not to demand Of the German
people a measure of democracy so far
In excess of the measure of democracy
allowed to the American people as to
raise in the minds OF the Germans sus-
picions that our insistence of their
characterization Is not made in good
faith. ----------
