Sharp Contests
Probable Over
Platform Planks

New York, June 22-General out
lines of the platform to be presented
this week for consideration by the
platform committee of the Democrat
ic national committee have been
agreed upon by party leaders who
have undertaken this task. There re-
main, however, wide differences over
the wording of a number of the most
important of the proposed planks.
There are threats of sharp con-
tests in the committee on the for
eign relations, Ku Klux Khan, and
prohibition. and possibly over that
dealing with farm relief. In the
background is the possibility OF
fight on the convention floor over the
Khan and foreign relations planks.
The chief difference regarding the
Khan issue is whether that organi-
zation shall be named. Some of those
high in party councils are opposed to
such step, urging instead that the
convention adopt the language OF the
/ Virginia Democratic convention plat
form which asserted that ANY sect
or order or creed which assails free
dom is to be condemned and resisted
as a menace to organized society,"
Other chieftains insist that the
Khan shall be named as such and
that there be strong declaration
against it's activities. George E.
Brennan Of Illinois, declared emphat-
ically today that nothing short of this
would receive the approval of the
convention without fight.
A similar position has been taken
by leaders in other delegations.
The contest with respect to the
foreign relations plank hinges largely
on whether there shall be specific re-
ference to the League of Nations.
Some of the Wilson followers, among
them Senator Glass of Virginia, while
not seeking as broad declaration as
was contained in the 1920 platform.
take the position that there should
be a announcement for American
participation under such conditions
as would not impair it's sovereignty.
Another group sof the leaders OPP,
pose this plan, holding that the po-
sition Of the party is so we'll defined
that definite expression of reaffim-
alton is all that is necessary at this
time. Ave.,

MARKETS STEADY.
AND MONEY EASY
REVIEW PAST WEEK

New York, June 22-(By A. P.)-
Plentiful supplies Of money needing
employment and a firm undertone in
most securities and commodity mar
kets were the main characteristics Of
the past week in finance and bust
ness. When the week opened the
markets had sustained a nine day ad-
vance and the majority of observers
predicted at least a temporary halt
on expected profit taking and partly
on the belief that the extent of the
rise indicated that much of the buy
ing needs for investment purposes
has been satisfied.
While the security markets were
resting, the bulk of the industrial
news received during the week indi-
| Gated that readjustment of manufac-
turing operations TO conform to
stocks of commodities on hand and
current consumptive demand was
still going on. Sharp curtailment in
the production and sale of motor We
hicles adversely affected manufac-
turing lines dependent on the auto
mobile industry. Despite efforts made
earlier in the year to reduce stocks
and to cut down output of tires, the
leading tire companies decided last
week to lower prices in. the hope Of
stimulating sales. Reductions aver
aging 10 percent were announced by
important factors in the trade.
Meanwhile the situation in the oil
industry remained in delicate bal
ance. Consumption Of gasoline in
creased with the warmer weather but
was insufficient to remove the men,
ace of record surplus stocks, in view
OF the continued high output of crude
oil. Under these circumstances the
leading producers in the mid -conti-
mental field, in an effort to maintain
present price levels sought further
curtailment of production. PROBATION
by the pipe lines was resorted to in
an effort to remedy the situation.
Further reduction in steel output
accompanied a decline in consump-
ton. While the tangible evidence
was mostly unfavorable, there were
scattered indications of improvement.
Steel tngot production, which is now
at a rate of about As percent of ca
pacity, decreased but slightly and
competent observers predicted that
the low point in mill production
would hardly come later than the
middle Of July. with a rate of per-
haps 40 percent Liquidation in the
steel market, it was felt. was almost
completed, and the number and char
acter of orders received by mills gave
evidence that the turn might be near.
Activity was expected to increase in
, the automobile industry with the in
PRODUCTION OF new models next
month.
Financial and business quarters
last week gave an in creasng
share of their attention t. the sharp
recovery in the wheat market Wheat
had a sharp and consistent rise fol-
lowing publication tthe futures up
nearly is cents a bushel. and the
trade confidently predicted that the
markets strength would be sustain
ed by an estimated shortage in the
worlds supply. With wheat selling
on basis to yield the farmers a pro-
fit business felt that much progress
would be made in healing over a sore
spot Of long standing and that in
creased purchasing power in farming
communities might go far TO offset a
decline in buying from Industrial
ccnters.
