Religious Plank
Democrats Does
Not Mention Khan

Madison Square Garden, New
York, June 2S-The committee ma
jority plank on Freedom of Religion,
Press and Speech, in which the Ku
klux Khan is not named, was as fol-
lows:
THE Democrat party reaffirms
its adherence and devotion to those
cardinal principles contained in the
Constitution and the precepts upon
which our Government is founded,
that Congress shall make no laws
respecting the establishment of reli-
gion, of prohibiting the free exercise
thereof, or abridging the freedom of
speech or of the press, or the right
of the people peaceably to assemble
and to petition the Government for a
redress of grievances, that the church
and the State shall be and remain
separate and that no religious test
shall ever be required as a qualifica-
ton to any office of public trust I'M
der the United States. These princi-
pies we pledge ourselves ever to de-
find and maintain. We insist at all
times upon obedience to the orderly
processes Of the law and deplore and
condemn any effort to arouse relf-
gious or racial dissension."
William r. PattanSall's minority
report proposed to add to the above
the following language:
I'VE condemn secret political So
cieties of all kinds, as opposed to the
exercise of free government, contra
ry to the spirit of the Declaration of
independence and the Constitution of
the United States. We pledge the
Democratic party to oppose any eff
fort on the part of the Ku Klux Khan
or any organization to interfere with
the religious liberty or political free
dom of any citizens or to limit the
civil right of any citizen or body of
citizens because of religion, birth
place, or racial origin"

League Plank
Adopted by Democrats

New York, June 2S-The text of
the League of Nations plank re-
ported by the majority of the COM
mittee; which was accepted by the
convention follows:
League of Nations
The Democratic party pledges all
It's energies to the outlawing of the
whole war system. We refuse to be-
lleve that the wholesale slaughter of
human beings on the battlefield is
any more necessary to mans highest
development than is killing by in
dividuals.
The only hope for world peace and
Tor economic recovery lies in the or
ganized efforts of sovereign Nations
cooperating to remove the causes of
war and to substitute law and order
for violence.
Under Democratic leadership a
practical plan was devised under
which 81 Nations are now operating
and which has for its fundamental
purpose the free cooperation of all
Nations in the work of peace.
The Government of the United
States for the last four years has had
no foreign policy, and consequently
it has delayed the restoration of the
political and economic agencies Of the
world. 1t has impaired our self
respect at home and injured our
prestige abroad. 1t has curtailed our
foreign markets and ruined our agri-
cultural prices.
It is of supreme Importance to
civilization and to mankind that
America be placed and kept on the
right side of the greatest moral
question of all time, and therefore
the Democratic party renews it's dec
laration of confidence in the ideals
Of world peace. the League of Ma
tions and the World Court of Justice
as together constituting the supreme
effort of the craftsmanship and reli-
gious conviction of cur time to or
ganize the world for peace.
Further, the Democratic party de-
clared that it will be the purpose of
the next Administration to do all in
its power to secure Tor our country
that moral leadership in the family
OF Nations which, in the providence
OF God, has been so clearly marked
out for it. There is no substitute
for the League of Nations as an
agency working for peace; therefore,
we believe that, in tho interest of
permanent peace and in the lifting
of the great burdens of war from the
backs OF the people, and in order to
establish permanent foreign policy
on these supreme questions, not SUBJ
ject to change with change of party
administrations, it is desirable, wise
and necessary to lift this question
out of party policies and to that end
to take the sense of the American
people at a referendum. election, ad-
visory to the Government, to be held
officially under act of Congress, free
from all other questions and candi-
dacies. after ample time for full con-
sideration and discussion throughout
the country upon the question, in
substance, as follows:
