STILL APPROVES § LUDLOW'S PLAN, VANNDYS SAYS

He Believes Referendum Now, as in 1924, Merits ‘Serious Consideration,”

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Senator VanNuys was a delegate to the Democratic national convention in 1924 and voted dpproval of the platform indorsing a referendum on war. Today he still is in sympathy with the idea, he said, when the united peace organizations pointed out that thé Democratic Administration has deserted the 1924 party policy by opposing Ludlow’s amendment. ? “I have given sympathetic support to Rep. Louis Ludlow’s war referendum plan,” Senator VanNuys said. “It is a proposal well worth serious consideration.” Senator VanNuys said his mail contains many more letters supporting the Ludlow amendment than opposing it. They come particu~ lary from peace organizations and women, he said.

Answers Opposition

- For several years, Mr. Ludlow has been seeking passage of his prowhich would amend the Constitution so that a referendum would be held on United States participation in any foreign war. It is scheduled for action in the House Jan. 10, having been forced from committee by a discharge petition with 218 signers. Answering the opposition of President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Hull, Senator Pittman, Senafe Foreign Relations Committee chairman, and other Administration leaders, the peace organizations charged today that ‘these same people were responsible for the 1924 platform plank. : The 1924 Democratic ~ platform ‘indorsed the war referendum plan “except in case of actual or threatened attack” on the ground that: “Those who must furnish the plood and bear the burdens imposed by war should, whenever possible, be consulted before this supreme sacrifice Is required of them.”

Adopted Unanimously

This section was unanimously adopted. : Secretary Hull was ehairman of the Democratic National Committee in 1924; Attorney General Cum- _ mings was chairman of the platform committee and Senator Pittman secretary of the platform committee. Delegates voting approval included President Roosevelt, Vice President Garner, Secretary of Navy Swanson, Postmaster General Farley, Secretary of Commerce Roper; Louis A. Johnson, Assistant Secretary of War; Chairman Jesse H. Jones of the Reconstruction Finance Corp, and W. A. Julian, Treasurer of the United States. The latter still is for the plan and has written Mr. Ludlow his indorsement of it. 4 % 7% Numerous Democrats now in the House or Sénate also are listed as delegates to that convention. The list was compiled by the joint action of the National Council for Prevention of War, Women’s International Teague for ‘Peace and Freedom, World Peaceways, Fellowship of Reconciliation, and the Emergency Peace Campaign,

All these so-called “peace groups” are united in an effort to secure a favorable vote on the Ludlow plan. The measure must pass both houses of Congress by a two-thirds vote and then be ratified by threefourths of the states. :

The 1924 platform called for world- |:

wide armament reductions and for all nations to join likewise in the war referendum plan. * “Our Government should secure a Joint agreement with all nations for world disarmament and also for a referendum of war, except in case of actual or threatened attack,” it stated. Commenting ‘on this, the peace groups said: “Those Democratic spokesmen who are loudest today in denouncing a referendum voted in 1924 to propose the plan as a part of the party platform. en “No voice was Democratic convention against the plan of a war referendum as ‘impractical’ or ‘not in accord with representative government.’ !
