Ths Democratic party favors ths League at Nations ss t'je surest if not th only, practicable mease of mala talnlng the permanent peace of th world, aad termla&Uag the insnfferabl burden of' groat military aad naval establishments. It was for this that America broke away from traditional iaoMtioa aad spent her blood aad treas ure to crash a colossal scheme of eea- qaest. It wss apoa' this basis that ths Preaidsat ot the United States, la pro- arrangement with oar allies, consented to a suspensioB of hostilitiss against the imperial Gormaa government; tb ar mistios.was grsated aad a treaty of peace negotiated apoa the definite sursno t Germany, as well aa toy ths powers pitted against v Germany, thst a goaeral assoeiatiosi ef nations mast he formed, ander epeoifis covenants iar tha purpose ef-affording mutual gusr aates "vf political independence and terriL 1 Jatcgrity to great and small statoi alike.1' Hence, we aot only con gratulate the President oa the viaion manifested aad the vigor exhibited ia the proseeutioa of -the wsr; but we fslieitato him aad his associate en ths exceptional achievements st ..Paris is volved in th adoptioa of a lesgu aad treaty so near-alua to prevkrasbr ex pr eased American ideals aad se inti mately related to the sspirttions of civ ilised people everywhere. We commend the President for his courage and his high conception of good fsith in steadfastly standing for ths eovensat agreed to by all the i eiatcd and allied nations st war with Germsny aad we condemn the Repub lican Benat for it refusal to ratify th treaty merely becsuss it wss the prod' net of demoerstie statesmanship, thus interposing psrtisan envy aad persons! hatred ia the way of the pvace aad ror aewed prosperity of the world. By every accepted standard ef internstionsl morality the President is justified ia asserting thst the honor ef the coun try is involved in this business; aad ws point to the seeusiiig fact thst befor it wss determined to initiate political antagonism to the treaty, ths now Bc publieaa ehslrmaa of the Senate' Foreign Relations Committee : himself publicly proelsimed thst say proposition for s separate peace with Germsny, such as be and hie party associates thereafter reported to the Senate, would make us "guilty of the blackest crime." Oa May 15, last, ths Knot substi tuts for the Versailles treaty was passed by ths Bepublieaa Beasts, aad this con vention can contrive ao more fitting eharaeterisatioa of its obloquy that had made ia the Forum Magazine ef Decern ber, 1818, by Henry Cabot Lodge, whea he said: v "If we send our armies and. young men sbrosd to be killed end wounded in Northern France and Flanders with ao result but this, our estrsnee into war with such an intention wss a crime which nothing can justify.? ) Ths intent of Congress and the In tent ofathe President was that there would be no peace until we could create a situstioa. where no such wsr ss this could recur. We cannot make peaes ex cept ia company with our allies. It would brand as with everlasting dis honor end -bring ruia -to as also if we undertook to make a separate peace. Thus to that which Mr. Lodge, Is ssacr moments, considered "the blackest crime" he' and hia party in madness sought to give ths sanctity ef law; that which eighteen months sgo wss of ever lasting dishonor," the Bepublieaa party aad its candidates today accept as ths essence of fsith. , ' . We endorse the President s view of our international obligations and his 8rm stand against reservations designed to cut to pieces the vital provisions of ths Versailles treaty and we com mend the Democrat ia Congress- for voting sgsiast resolutions for separata peace whieh would disgrace the aatioa. We advocate the immediate ratificatioa ot the treaty without reservations which would impair its eeseatial integrity; but ws do aot oppooe the aeceptsaec of any reservations making clearer or more speeifls the obligations ef the TJaited States to the league associates. Only by doing this may we retrieve the reputation ef this aatioa among the powers of ths sarin ' asd recover the moral leadership which President Wil soa woa and whieh Bepublieaa politie laae at Washington sacrificed. - Only br doing ty may. jra hop " to) aid sffoetively ia th' resoratioa of order throughout the world and to take the place whieh ws should assume in th treat rank ef spiritual, commercial aad Industrial advancement. 4 We reject as utterly -vaia, if - not vicious, the Bepublieaa assumption thst ratificat ion af ths treaty and member. ship ia th League ef Nstioas would ia aay way impair the. integrity or ta dependence ef our country. The fact that the eovenanrha been catered into by twenty-nine nations all a jealous of Jtheir independence as we ar of oars, is a sufficient refutation of such charges. The President repeatedly has declared, aad this eonvontion reaffirms, that all ear duties aad obligations se a member ef the league must be ful filled ia strict conformity with th eon stitutloa of the United States, em bodied ia which is the fundamental re quirement of declaratory action by th Congress, befor this nation may be come a partieipsat ia aay war. CONDUCT OF WAt. Dariag tha war President Wilsoa .ex- hibited the very broadest coaeeptioa ot liberal Amerieaaisna. la his con duet of the war, as la the geasrat ad ministration ef his hiah offle. there was ao sembUne of -partisaa bias. He iavitcd to Washingtoa as his counsel tors aad eo- adjutors hundreds ot ths moot prominent aad proaouneed Be Dublieans in the country. To these he committed responsibilities ef ths gravest import aad asost confidential nature. Many Sf them had charge ex vital se ll vitiea of the overameat. Aad yet, with ths wsr successfully prosecuted aad gloriously ended, the Bepublieaa party ia Congress, tar rrom applsuding the masterly leadership ef the Preaidsat aad felicitating the coun try en th amszisg achievements ef the American geverameat, has meanly requited th eoasiderato course of the chief msgistrate by savagely defaming the eommaader-ia-chief of the army sal navy aad by assailing nearly every pub- lie officer of every branca or tn ser vie intimately concerned In winning th war abroad aad preserving the se curity of th government at home. , W express to the soldiers aad sailors and marines ef America the admiration of their fellow eouatrymsa. - Guided by the genius of such commanders as Oca. Joha J. Pershing, the armed force of America constituted a decisive fac tor la the victory aad brought new bxatr to the flasr. 'We sommead tha patriotic mea and womea who sustained the effort ef their goveramsat ia ths crucial hour of ths wsr aad contributed to the brilliant administrative tueeess, achieved under th brsad'Viaioaed leadership ef ths Picsidcnt,' ". v-" i.u, 1 FINANCIAL ACHIEVEMENTS. .

Indeed, one vital danger against which the Amerieaa people should keep eon stsatly en guard is ths commitment of this system to partisan snsmies who struggled against its adoption and vainly attempted to retain ia the - hands of speculative bankers at monopoly of the currency aad credits of the nstion.

The Bon-Dsrtissa Federal Beserve au thorities hsve bees wholly free of po litical interfere aco or motive ; and. in their ewa time and their owa way, have used courageously, though cautiously, the instruments st their disposal to pre vent undue expansion of credit in the country.
