KNoTHoLEs IN COP PLATFORM

1t was carefully hushed up at
Chicago. but some OF the backstage
hanmering on the Republican plat
form nearly developed knotholes.
One was on Palestine.
The COP foreign affairs sub
committee voted to omit a plank
for restoring Palestine to the Jews.
When this came before the full
platform committee however things
began 10 pop.
Leo r. Sack, Roosevelt's ex-Min-
lister to Costa RIGA, now Zionist
publicity man. prodded Senator
Danaher of Connecticut. Danaher
demanded that the Palestine reso-
luton be restored. Also Cleveland S
Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, who sup
ported the COP ticket in 1910, made
an impassioned plea, said Pales-
tine resolution would be a great
vote-getter for the Dewey ticket.
In the end it was restored
An even greater rumpus occurred
over silver A potent Western bloc
of silver boosters succeeded in
wedging into the first platform
draft a statement favoring silver.
They were so strong that it look
ed as if silver would win. Finally
Neil Carruthers. dean of Lehigh
University and economic adviser to
the committee, got ON the telephone
and called Winthrop Aldrich, cou-
sin of John D. Rockefeller and
head o. the Chase National Bank
Aldrich, staunch gold standard
man, got busy on the long distance
telephone, pleaded with platform
committee members to resist the
silver bloc. Finally, when it look
ed as if silver would win, Aldrich
warned that he would take the
matter up with Albany.
In the end, the taxation and fl
nance committee yielded let Aid
rich dictate the following statement
by telephone: I'VE shall maintain
the value Of the American dollar
and regard the payment of Gov
eminent debt as an obligation of
honor which prohibits any policy
leading TO the depreciation of the
currency"
NOTE The late Senator Key
Pittman OF Nevada used to put for
eign delegates to the London Econ
omic Conference to sleep with his
long lectures on silver. He was
largely responsible for selling silver
