LEAGUE OF NATIONSf
The Democratic party pledges all
its energies to the outlawing of the
whole war system. We refuse to be-
lieve that the wholesale slaughter
Of human being on the battlefield is
any more necessary to mans highest
development than is killing by indi-
viduals.
The only hope for world peace and
for economic recovery lies in the
organized efforts of sovereign ma
tions 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 ffty-four nations are now
operating and which has for its fun
damental purpose the free co-opera-
tion of all nations in the work of
peace.
States for the last four years has
had no foreign policy, and, conse-
quently, 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.
1t is of supreme importance to
civilization and to manki that
right side of the greatest moral ques-
tion of all time, and therefore the
Democratic party reneWs its deciara-
ton of confidence in the ideal OF
and the World Court of Justice, s
together constituting the supreme ef-
fort of the craftsmanship and re-
ligious conviction of our time to or
ganize the world for peace. Further
the Democratic party declared that 1t
will be the purpose of the next ad
ministration to do all in its power
to secure for our country that moral
which, in the province of God, has
been so clearly marked out for it.
There is no substitute for the
League OF nations as an agency work
that, in the interest Of permanent
peace. and in the lifting of the great
burdens of war from the backs of
the people and in 5a.atd order to ;n establish
these supreme questions, not sub
ject to change with change of party
administrations, it is desirable, wise
and necessary to lift this question
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
dacies, after ample time for full con
sideration and discussion throughout
the country upon the question. in
substance, as follows:
Shall the United States become
member of the league of nations upon
such reservations amendments to
the covenant of the league as the
President and the Senate of the
United States may agree upon
Immediately upon an affirmative
vote we will carry out such mandate.
Without the votes of Democratic
members of the Congress the child
labor amendment would not have
been submitted for ratification.
THE LATIN AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
From the day of their birth friend
ly relations have existed between the
Latin American republics and the
United States. That friendship grows
stronger as our relations become more
intimate. The Democratic party sends
to these republics it's cordial greet
ing. God has made us neighbors; JUS
tice shaIl keep us friends.
