PHI ADELPHIA Assembled Democracy has to do just three things in this city of brotherly love,: (!) Change the two-thirds rule; (2) adopt a platform more appealing ap-pealing than the Republican; (3) keep the convention going long enough so that the city boosters who put up $250,000 to bring the Democrats here can get it back again. The nomination of Franklin D. Roosevelt will come along after all this is over, and it is purely incidental. Of these objectfves, the first two the two-thirds rule and the platform will be the hardest. Thank9 to Eddie Dowling's array ar-ray of radio and theatrical entertainment, enter-tainment, plus a carefully arranged arrang-ed schedule of procrastination, it will be fairly easy to stall the convention along for five days. ;;- MAGIC PLATFORM To all outward appearances, the platform will be equally easy. It will be pulled from the magic sleeve by Senator Bob Wagner and adopted without debate. But this is only because long hours in fact, several weeks of preparation have already gone into the platform. Unlike the Cleveland convention, where the platform was pulled back and forth between Landon and old guard forces, the last word in the Democratic platform depends on one man Roosevelt. Nevertheless, back in Washington, Washing-ton, where the platform really was written, there was, plenty of behind - the - scenes argument among the president's advisers. And one of the most important factors was identical to the one that bothered Cleveland the desire de-sire to. please the lion of Idaho. William E. Borah, and, if possible, t induce him to -'take a walk." ' THREE ARGUMENTS J. Chief controversy centered around these three issues: 1 monopoly; (2i currency; (3) an amendment to the constitution legalizing minimum-wage and minimum-hour laws The last loaded to the hilt with political dynamite. has caused sharp inner circle debate. One group of Democratic congressional congression-al leaders has flatly opposed any constitutional amendment. Meeting Meet-ing secretly in the senate office buikhng last week, they argued that an amendment would only -f-trrnish the Republicans with anti-New anti-New Deal ammunition. On the other hand.

The administration, changing the whole complexion of the new $3,446,000,000 program, opened work lists throughout the country to all jobless regardless of whether they ever received federal fed-eral doles. The Works Progress Administration Admin-istration had declared before that only persons living off direct relief re-lief prior to last November 1 were eligible for work under the current cur-rent $4,000,000,000 jobs drive. The shift was prescribed by congress con-gress to meet mounting anti-administration criticism opposition that claimed needy should not be subjected to declaring they had no resources whatsoever. New Development The development was revealed as WPA. the Public Works Administration, Ad-ministration, rural resettlement and other agencies waited only President Roosevelt's signature to the new $1,425,000,000 work-relief appropriation before starting to spend. Under the $4,000,000,000 program, pro-gram, 3,500,000 employable persons per-sons on direct relief were eligible for work. WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins had them all on federal projects last January 1. Now, he faced the task of selecting se-lecting 2,000,000 workers from the 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 unemployed, unemploy-ed, about half of whom have staved stav-ed off the necessity of depending ing on the government for a livelihood. live-lihood. Officials intimated Hopkins would meet the problem, one they considered serious, by giving state WPA directors the responsibility! of deciding who should work and who should continue jobless.

"Almost half this amount was used to provide new rn6ney for government expenses and brought the gross public debt tox about $32,5O0,0O0,0O0., The banking leader contended that the bulk of the new money would be supplied by the nation's banks. Vicious Cycle "This means the banks exchange ex-change their immediately available credit for the promise of the government gov-ernment to pay some time in the future," McKinnon explained. "The result will be the forcing of further expansion of bank credit into capital investments. The proceeds pro-ceeds of this borrowing are disbursed dis-bursed over the country, coming back to the banks in the form of .increased deposits, enabling them to buy more government bonds. "The vicious cycle is repeated, gathering size and momentum like a snowball rolling down hill." McKinnon explained that bank reserves now total approximately $2,800,000,000. These, he argued, were not controlled sufficiently under the banking act of 1935 to prevent the disturbing possibility of credit inflation. That huge bank reserves also bring with them the possibilities of continued low Interest rates for years to come, was cited as another an-other disturbing aspect of the national na-tional banking situation by McKinnon.

Forget the Past This recognition given, the past can be put, aside ajfMjfce govern- free to consider1 with the government govern-ment of the neighboring island, in tb spirit of cooperation and good will and with a firm purpose to find a mutually beneficial solution, all the problems they may have in common including such questions quest-ions as national defense. The one cause of enmity in the past has been Britain's endeavour to force its rule upon a nation that wanted, and knew it had the right to rule itself. The cause removed, the enmity will disappear. This is the true way to peace. It was found the way to peace and lasting friendship friend-ship for the people of Norway and Sweden. It is the way to peace between the Irish race and the British people. It is the universal way to peace for all people. Speaking before the parliament 1 Friday, De Valera said the Irish people are "as anxious to bury the hatchet' ' as the people of any other country.

"English newspapers are acclaiming ac-claiming De Valera as Britain's friend and therefore he is bound to follow British traditions. "But we will smash the coercion under De Valera the same as we smashed it under former President William Cosgrave.
