 Text of Plank
 The text of the plank follows:
 Tn fairness to ourselves and to the world. 1t is essential that the foreign policy of the United States be con- sistent and continuous and that it's de- | cision be uninf1uenced by partisan con- troversy on domestic issues. Next to | aggressive unfairness, there is no greater promoter of misunderstanding | or menace to peace than weakness vacillation or cowardly reserve in dealing with other nations. The | democratic party stands for a sound, | firm and definite foreign policy and the open, courageous and official exe- cutions of such policy.
 "The government of the United States for the last four years has had no foreign policy and consequently, it has delayed much the restoration of the political and economic agencies of the world. It has impaired our selt-respect at home and injured our prestige abroad. It has curtailed our foreign markets and ruined our agri- cultural prices.
 ''The efforts of the administration to Ind foreign platform policy through uninstructed, unofficial observers and experts is unworthy of great nation and misleading as to our spirit and intent. Such advances as have been made to European settlement during the last four years have been &C., complished in spite of rather than with the aid of the government of the United States.
 More specifically" the democratic party favors cooperation with or par in such organizations, in- the league of nations, as may be helpfully functioning the social and economic rehabilitation of the world on such terms as will, on the hand, protect the sovereignty and in- of our government, and on the other, enable 1t to render its full seryic and receive its full benefit from the common and enlightened &C., ton of all the nations.
 To Outlaw War
 "The democratic party specifically and irreyocably pledges itself to take the initiative through every agency at It's disposal or through the creation of new ones to outlaw war and to make peace the accepted policy of the na- Lions While We sympathize with the ob jeets to be attained through a prop erly constituted world court. we are, unwilling to participate In the delusion that such court, un- imported by other agencies, can, within several generations at least, have any appreciable influence on the  major controversies between nations"
