The 4.000-word document, com
pleted alter hours of bickering in
the resolutions committee had thrown
the convention off schedule, alsti
promised that "ali the material aid
at our command, consistent witli
law and not inconsistent with the in
terests of our own national defense'
would be extended to "the peace-lov
ing and liberty-loving peoples wan
tonly attacked by ruthless aggres
sors."
Some of its authors said the for
eign policy plank would assure ;
"middle of the road" course in for
eign affairs and Senator Wheeler ol
Montana declared that if adhered to
it would thoroughly protect the Unit
ed States and guarantee that then
would be "no intervention" in for
eign wars.
IVpper Loses.
Be I ore it was finally adopted, how
ever. Senator Pepper of Florida liac
led an unsuccesslul light for a plant
pledging "full aid short of war" foi
the democracies and® "a solemi
pledge" that the United States woulc
not extend the "hand of appease
ment" to dictatorships.
Secretary ol Commerce liopkin:
told reporters "there is nothing ii
this foreign relations plank whicl
changes by one jot or tittle the for
eign policy ot the President or Sec
retary ol State."
A specific promise to continue the
so-called Gufiey soft coal act. which
expires next Spring, was written in
to the labor plank along with i
pledge of "sympathetic considera
tion" of similar legislation for the au
thracite industry.

On the question of unemployment
the document recommended a na
tional unemployment conference "un
der the direction of the President'
and to be attended by "leaders ol
government, industry, labor and farir
groups."
Opposition was expressed to plac
ing control of Federally-financec
work relief in the hands of the states
The platform declared that "this Re
publican proposal is a thinly disguis
ed plan to put the unemployed back
on the dole."
An another aspect of social legis
lation. the platform pledged tin ef
fort to make the Social Security Acl
increasingly effective.
Asserting that "weakness and un
preparedness invite aggression," the
platform committed the party to pro
viding this country with "an invin
cible air force, a navy strong enough
to protect all our seacoasts and our
national interests, and a l'ully-equip
pcd and mechanized army."
Apparently answering Republican
charges that President Roosevelt was
responsible fo- the country's "unpre
paredness," trie platform declared
that for years the Chief Executive
has warned the nation that "organiz
ed assault against religion, demo
cracy and international good faith
threatened our own peace and se
curity."
.vien unnueu uy pai usuiisuip
bl ushed aside these warnings as war
mongering and officious intermedd
lings," the platform continued.
Under the heading "electric pow
er." the party's policy declaration
aimed a blow in the direction ol
Wendell Willkic, the Republican
nominee.
Accept Water Power Issue.
"The nomination of a utility ex
ecutive by the Republican party as
its presidential candidate raises
squarely the issue, whether the na
tion's water power shall be used for
all the people or for the selfish in
terest of the few. We accept that is
sue." the platform said.
A reaflirmation of the Administra
tion's present farm program was
written into the platform together
with a pledge to make "parity" as
well as soil conservation payments
until such time as the goal of parity
income for agriculture is realized. No
new farm program was involved.
On the question ^>f labor and in
dustry. the platform pledged a con
tinuance of enforcement of fair labor
standards, maintenance of the prin
ciples of the National Labor Rela
tions Act and expansion of employ
"...THAT'S WHERE WE'LL GO!"
You add to your own enjoyment and protect your
right to drink GOOD beer when you choose to
drink it only in those retail establishments that are
clean, inviting and LAW-ABIDING.
Investigation has proved that the great majority of
North Carolina's retail beer outlets are decent, re
spectable places of legitimate business. However,
there are bound to be a certain small number in
the group who are "black sheep" in that they per
mit anti-social practices in their places of business
or indulge in them themselves.
Desiring to eliminate the objectionable place3, the
Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Com
mittee has cooperated fully with law enforcement
officials and to date 90 of them have lost their
licenses and several score others have been denied
new licenses because they refused to "clean up"
during the past year.
► So . . . when you say: "That's where we'll go!", be
sure it is the RIGHT kind of retail beer outlet.

I—Discarding an ancient tradition,
tlie Democratic national convention
noisely nominated Franklin D. Koose

j the United States early today—and
did it by acclamation.
Farley to Hark Ticket.
A smashing majority of the con
vention's 1,1(10 votes had been cast
lor the President, >0 the clamor ol'
the delegates and the jammed gal
leries. Ueltire the result could be
announced, James A. Farley, once
a third term foe# a candidate him
self, announced his support lor the
ticket, and moved that the rules be
;suspended and the President be ac
j claimed the party's nominee.
"1 am grateful to those delegates
to this convention who voted fDi
me and to those delegates who would
jhave voted for me if they had not
'been otherwise pledged." a smiling
I Farley told the delegates.
"I want this great convention of
Democrats to l<7iow that 1 will give
I that same support to the nominees
of this convention."
Seconded by Tydings
Farley's motion was seconded by
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts and
Senator Tydings of Maryland. Rep
resentative Rayburn of Texas al
ready had turned Texas' 4U votes
from Vice President Garner to Mr.
Roosevelt.
j The Farley motion went through
on a roaring voice vote that made
most of the convention's previous
shoutings seem puny, and Chairman
Alben Barklcy declared the Presi
dent to be the convention's unani
jmous choice as its nominee.
