(By The Associated Press) Washington, Julie 14, President Wilson today approved a plank on AnicLjicanisni for the Democratic na tional platform, which arraigns in dividuals or alliances seeking to em-' barrass the government in negotia tions with foreign nations,' and. con demns any political party which mod ilies Its policy for fear of political consequences. ' A Direct Plunk The President decided to challenge openly Americans of alien birth op posing his foreign policies. Learning from editorials in some foreign lan guage newspapers that they were sup porting the ' RepUblica ii nominee. Mr. Wilson sent word (o his personal rep resentti lives in St. Louis to make the plank on Americanism direct and un equivocal. The plank on 'Americanism, drawn partially here, and partially in , St. Louis had been completed tonight, and will be ready for submission (o the resolution committee of the conven tion. J It was . taken for gi'antod (hat it Would be embodied m tin- platform' practically as wrtken. The plank carries out some of the ideas expressed by the President in a flag day address here today, accusing a small group of Americans of foreign extraction of -attempting to levy poli tical blackmail lo gain their ends. It further states that the Democratic party will not be influenced by such "black mail" and it challenges the Republican nominee to take a simi lar stand. ' ' i .Severe Criticism Foreign born Americans are severe ly cri.t icized for interfering in behalf of foreign Nations in the relations be tween (he United States and oilier countries. The plunk denounces men who seek'to interfere , wit h America n instructions by political organizations under foreign inlluence. Reports that efforts were to lie made at St. Louis to put into the plat form a declaration in favor of an em bargo on ammunition and a proposal which the I resident considers unneu tral, strengthened Mr, Wilson in his del ernii nat iiin to meet t he ' so.-ea I led h.v phetia I ii - .issue r as conclusively "as possible; --. ----...-' - ..- - In (lose Touch Willi SI.
