By PAUL T. SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, July 18. —Wendell L. Willkie, as the Republican Presidentiai nominee, welcomed today the issue of a cam-

paign against a third term for Pres- |

ident Roosevelt the New Deal 1 am greatly gratified,” he said “It ought to be a great campaign.” Mr. Willkie was attending a performance of the operetta, “The Rartered Bridge.” at Central City. Colo.. when the news of Mr. Roosevelt's overwhelming draft reached him. Central City is a ghost town, the shadow of once-wealthy gold mining metropolis, but an operetta is presented there annually Mr Willkie left immediately after the performance for his vacation headquarters at Colorado Springs.

Feels Issue Fundamental

“We will have presented to the voters of the country the issues which have been created by the New Deal, advocated the New Deal by the author and ablest advocate of that philosophy, and the directdng force of the New Deal practices,” Me said in a fo statement, In addition. the American voters Rill have their opportunity to Dass upon the ion of a third oh Other Presidents have aspired » a third term. but that issue hereXofore has been determined in the fhegative by political conventions In this election, the themXelves will have the to Sass upon the doctrine the insiispensability of man and the sanctity of our two-term tradition.’ The issues are fundamental and fmportant wh the people must sand should determine.

PLATFORM PUTS ‘WAR QUESTION INTO CAMPAIGN

‘Seek to Refute G. 0. P. Cry That Democratic Policy May Involve U. S.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer CHICAGO. July 18. —Democrats prepared today to go to the country with a platform which they hailed las a complete refutation of “war party” cries and which had Killed loff threats of Democratic isola[tionists to lead a third-party revolt. Leaders regarded the language of [their foreign-affairs plank as plain land unequivocal in contrast with [that adopted by the Republicans at | Philadelphia, and indicated they would pitch much of their campaign on the “stay out of war” issue, The Democratic plank, adopted at the end of a long and determined fight led by Senators David Walsh of Massachusetts, Burton K. Wheeler of Montana and McCarran of Nevada, proclaimed. “The American people are determined that war, raging in Europe, Asia and Africa, shall not come to America. We will not participate in foreign wars, and we will not senda our army, naval or air force to fight in foreign lands outside of the Americas, except in case of attack. We favor and shall rigorously enforce and defend the Monroe Doctrine. “The direction and aim of our foreign policy has been, and will continue to be, the security and defense of our own land and the maintenance of its peace.” The platform criticized the Republicans’ choice of Wendell L. Willkie, former utilities executive, as their Presidential nominee and declared that Democrats stood ready to meet him on the public vs. private power issue. Mr, Willkie's platform,

We accept that issue.” Platform drafters went down the Nine in support of the New Deal program—relief, social security, labor relations—and pledged their party to “the defense of the American system of government.” “We shall hold fast gains,” the platform said.

his statesmanship and that of the Congress for the past seven trying years.” And to our leader we send our ings,” it added. The paragraph was inserted after the President had notified the convention that he did not seek a third term. Senator Claude Pepper. Florida New Dealer, who led the fight for a stronger Allied-aid plank and who reportedly was in frequent telephonic communication with the White House during the day's deliberations, said that he was “completely satisfied” with the final draft. Mr. Pepper and Senator James I. Bvrnes of South Carolina, said there was nothing in the plank that conflicted with the Administration's foreign policy. Mr. Wheeler also declared his satisfaction with the plank. Major points in the phases of the platform: 1. The Democratic Party criticized Republican farm policies and pledged itself to mak" parity as well as soil conservation payments until parity income is realized; ext tend the farm tenancy program, refi-

plan; enlarge the rural rehabilitation program; extend crop insurance from wheat to other crops;

encourage farmer-owned co-opera-|

tives: conserve soil and water resources, and encourage marketing agreements. 2. The party declared it has accomplished more in the last seven years to benefit workers than any other Administration in the country’s history. It pledges continuation of the Wagner Labor Act prooram. making no mention of demands for amendment of the law. It also pledges continuation of the Bituminous Coal Act and expresses sympathy toward proposals to extend it to the anthracite industry. It pledged to strive “toward increasingly wholehearted co-opera-tion between labor and industrial Rem En » It promised to “continue to atwack unbridled concentration of economic power. It favored legislation to aid small business. advocated removal of tax-exempt Federal. State and local bonds: and approved strict supervision of all forms of insurance businesses.

local authorities: de nounced Republican efforts in that “a thinly disguised plan to put the unemployed back on the dole.” It favored calling, under the President's direction, a national unemployment conference of leaders of government, industry, labor and farm groups to speed up emplovment. 6. The party dedicated itself to extension of the social security act to cover “millions of persons not now protected,” but made no specific mention of the groups involved. Old-age pension advocates get a boost through a provision calling for “early realization of a minimum pension for all who have reached the age of retirement and are not gainfully yemployed.” 7. It pledged expansion and continuation of the Federal health, vouth, education, slum clearance and housing programs. 8. It promised for the Negroes to continue to “strive. for complete legislative safeguards against discrimination in Government service and benefits, and in the national defense forces.”
