There is no terror in Russia except

Compromise Platform Is Adopt
ed BY Republican National
Convention.
NEGOTIATIONS HEATED
Wilson League Covenant Condemned
and Peace lndorsed-considered
Victory for ~lrreconeiable Group
Of Party.

Chicago-Rescuing the party by
eleventh hour compromise from a
threatened split on the League OF Ma
tions issue, the Republican national
convention adopted a platform. Har-
mony on the league issue was reached
after many hours of heated negotia-
tions revolving about the %subcommit.
tee on resolutions. bringing into con-
sultation first and last virtually all the
big men of the party. In the end the
irreconciables and mild reservation
lists accepted a treaty plank drafted
by Elihu Root before his departure for
Europe several weeks ago, but revised
in some details to meet the views of
the c%ontending elements. II condemns
President Wilson's league covenant.
upholds the Senate in its rejection OF
the treaty and indorses the principle
OF an international peace concert in
harmony with American traditions.
ireland Plank Omitted.
The Republican platform omitted all
reference to Ireland. Planks proposed
by Irish sympathizers we're lost before
the resolutions subcommittee and not
pressed In the full committee or con-
vention.
The woman suffrage plank earnest
ly hopes Republican states which
have not yet ratified the suffrage
amendment will do SO. II was a sub
stitute for a clause calling upon the
arnunrnaro ~ afnfao nnf HAVING roti-
fed to summon their legislatures in
extra sessions to ratify the amend
ment.
League Of Nations.
On the League Of Nations the plat
form says in part:
The Republican party stands for
agreement among the nations to pre-
serve the peace of the world. We be-
lieye that such an international ASSOC
citation must be based upon interna-
tional justice, and must provide meth
DDS which shall maintain the rule of
public right by development Of law
and the decisions Of impartial courts.
which shall secure instant and general
international conference whenever
peace shall be threatened by political
action, SO that the nations pledged to
do and insist upon what ia Just and
fair may exercise their influence and
power for the prevention Of war. We
believe that all this car be done with.
out the compromise of national indie
pendence. without depriving the peo-
pie of the United States In advance OF
the right to determine for themselves
what is just and fair. when the oc-
casion arises. and without Evolving
them as participants and not as peace
makers In a multitude OF quarrels, the
merits OF which they are unable to
Judge.
The covenant, signed by the Presi-
dent at Paris failed signally to ac-
complish this purpose, and contained
~stipulations not only intolerable for an
independent people but certain to pro
duce the injustice. hostility and con
torversy among nations which 1t pro-
posed to prevent.
