of this country, and similar barriers
erected in retaliation by other
countries.
2. Unemployment: 1t will deal
with the present distressing phases
of unemployment, its treatment
no@, and a longtime program Of
remedy.
8. Government expenditures: 1t
will demand drastic reductions of
federal expenditures, and of all other
governmental expenses.
4. International affairs: 1t will
urge our adherence to the world
court.
None of these things, of course
including prohibition-will be settled
until tonight when the full commit
tee meets with the subcommittee.
Roosevelt managers apparently
are ready to accept any prohibition
plank the convention agrees to, but
there are others-like Pennsylvania,
Illinois, New York and probably
Ohio-that are ready to fight on the
floor for outright advocacy of repeal
of the eighteenth amendment, and
Of the Volstead act. Some want
congressman definitely pledged to
these ends.
But at this point there is only a
fair prospect that a formidable
minority report for outright ad-
vocacy Of repeal and immediate
legalization Of 2.75 per cent beer will
come from the platform committee
Farm relief forms the other chief
issue to be settled by the platform
sub and full committee. New wit
nesses from farm organizations have
arrived and will be heard by the full
committee this afternoon.
