Arizona republican., 1920-07-03

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-The fol-, lowing is the text of the platform sub mitted to the Democratic national con- vention today:
 The Democratic party, in it's national convention now assembled, sends greetings to the president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. and halls with patriotic pride the great achievements for the country and for the world wrought by a Demicratic ad ministration under his leadership.
 1t salutes the mighty people of this great republic, emerging with i'm perishable honor from the severe tests and grievous strains of the most tragic war in history, having earned the plau- dits and the gratitude of all free na- tions. It declares its adherence to the fundamental progressive principles of social, economic and industrial justice and advance, and purposes to resume the great work of translating these principles into effective laws, begun and carried far by the Democratic ad- ministration and interrupted only when the war claimed all the national ener- gies for the single task of victory.
 League of Nations
 The Democratic party favors the league of nations as the sureSt if not the only practicable means of main taining the permanent peace of the world and terminating the insufferable burden of great military and naval es- tablishments. It was for this that America broke away from traditional isolation and spent her blood and treasure to crush colossal scheme of conquest. It was upon this basis that the president of the United States, in pre-arrangement with our allies, con- scented to suspension of hostiHties against the imperial German govern ment; the armistice was granted and
 nF tad 10 definite assurance to Germany, as well as to the powers pitted against Ger many, that "a general association of nations must be formed, under specific covenants, for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political inde- pendence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike"
 Hence we not only congratulate the president on the vision manifested and the vigor exhibited in the prosecution of the war; but we felicitate him and his associates on the exceptional achievement at Paris involved in the adoption of a league and treaty SC American ideals and so intimately re- | lated to the aspirations of civilized peoples everywhere.
 We commend the president for his courage and his high conception of good faith in steadfastly standing for | the covenant agreed Dy all the as | sociated and allied nations at war with Germany, and we condemn the Repub- lican senate for it's refusal to ratify the treaty merely because it was the | product of Democratic statesmanship | thus imposing partisan, envy and per | sonal hatred in the way of the peace l and renewed prosperity of the world. | By every accepted standard of inter national morality the president is justi- | fled in asserting that the honor of the l country is involved in this business and we point to the accusing fact. that ! before it was determined to initiate political antagonism into the treaty, the l now Republican chairman of the for ] eign relations committee, publicly | proclaimed that any proposition for g separate peace with Germany such as
 he and his party associates thereafter reported to the senate, would make us
 guilty of the blackest crime'
 Y Quote Senator Lodqe
 On May Is last, the Knox substitute
 for the Versailles treaty was passed
 by the Republican senate; and thi.
 convention can contrive no more fit
 ting characterization of its obloquy
 than that made in the Forum magazin,
 of December, 1918, by Henry Cabo
 Lodge when he said:
 If we send our armies and young men abroad to be killed and wounded
