PLATFORMS BEING
REPAIRED TODAY
THE PLATFORM BUILDERS
BUSILY REPAIRING WEAK
PLACES IN REPUBLICAN,
PLATFORMS BY INSERTION
OF STRONGER PLANKS-
READY FOR BATTLE

Chicago, June 6.-With the con-
vention circle of party, leaders
virtually complete the Republican
platform builders went seriously to
work tonight on the more trouble
some of the planks remaining to be
fashioned. :.
One of these was the declaration
on the treaty of Versailles and the
league of nations, subject of long
standing disagreement and bitter
controversy. Another dealt with the
industrial relations, bringing into
contrast widely diverse schools of
economic thought. A third relates
20 Mexico, always a topic Of debate,
and now somewhat complicated by
recent developments south of the
Rio Grande.
On all these entire harmony was
predicted by all the party leaders,
although most of them conceded
that some interesting scrimmages,
possibly reaching the convention
floor, would have to be fought out
before there could be, an agree
ment. .
With the belated arrival from
Washington of several senator's,
representing extremes of Republi-
can opinion on the treaty, the long
senate fight over the league of ma,
tions virtually transferred to the
conference rooms here. .
Ready for Battle
The irreconciliables and the mild
reservationists of the senate are
prepared for a hard battle on the
treaty plank. Senator Borah, Of
Idaho, leader of the irrecon-
cilables, arrived late in the day
witha plankwith' a plank which will
have the backing of the johnson
forces. The mild reservationists
held numerous conferences and
prepared to draft plank for SUBJ
mission to Ogden Mills, chairman
of the executive committee on =.
policies and platforms.
eve will submit our plank to the
resolutions committee" said Sena-
tor Borah, "and if we do not see it
in the platform We will offer it in
the convention"
Senator Borah was not ready to
make the Johnson-Borah plank pub
lie, but said it would be presented
to the resolutions committee.
1t was learned that the mild reser>
vationists' plank would demand a
construction policy for ratification
of the Versailles treaty with pro-
tective reservations and an indorse-
ment of the stand of senators who
voted for the Lodge reservations.
Senator Lodge, who arrived today,
deferred conferences on the treaty
but predicted that an agreement
between the various groups would
be reached.
