COP Unites
On Platform

CHICAGO. June u QNS)-A
Republican plat form pledging a
hard hitting program To win the
war, perpetuate world peace, at
tain full postwar employment, dis
mantle New Deal bureaucracy
and insure prosperity TO farmers
and business was drafted today
with adoption by the convention
assured.
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman,
called the full resolutions commit
tee into session early today TO
ratify the platform that a drafting
subcommittee worked upon
throughout the night. II will be
presented to the convention dur
ing the day.
Sixteen Republican governors
were heard by the drafting COM
mittee during the night, in a move
that was widely but enormously
interpreted as a governors re-
volt against the platform. The
governors, however. failed to
agree on any major change and
left the platform drafters rather
bewildered by their request for a
hearing. So the governors failed
to dent the recommendations Of
the platform makers.
A quick check of delegations
from the states represented by
the governors showed their visit
would not stop ratification of the
platform.
Wendell L. Willkie, COP nomi-
nee in 1910, made a major attack
on the foreign policy plank, but
his protest fell on deaf ears. Both
internationalist and nationalist
members of the foreign policy SUBJ
committee frankly declared they
were not concerned with WILKES

change in the plank as a result
