The platform's keynote was that the Roosevelt administration has- - put and will keep the nation ort the road the recovery and partys prosperity." Regarding the Constitution, the platform declared that while the Repub- lican platform proposes to meet na tional problems by action of the separate states, the Democratic party recognizes that minimum wages, maximum hours, child labor, monopolistic and unfair business practices, dust storms, drouth and floods could not be handled by states. It stated : If these problems cannot be effectively solved by legislation within the Constitution, we shall seek such clarifying amendments as will assume to the legislatures of the several states and to the congress of the United States each within Its proper Jurisdiction, the power to enact those laws which the state and federal leg- islatures their within respective spheres shall And necessary, in order adequately to. regulate commerce, protect public health and safety and Thus safeguard economic security. we propose to maintain the letter and spirit of the Constitution."

It reasserted the reciprocal tariff policy, but demanded adequate" protection to share-croppe- farmers and manufacturers against unfair foreign competition. Denouncing monopolies and concentration of economic power, the plat form declared that the administration would "vigorously and fearlessly enforce the criminal and civil provisions of the existing anti-trulaws." Other planks pledged: Expansion of the social security program; continuance of rural electrification; protection of the rights of labor to bargain collectively; extension of federal housing projects; Just treatment of war veterans and their dependents; extension of the merit system through classified civil service; freedom of speech, press, radio, religion and assembly; projection of public works projects to aid unemployment; opio-itioto Communism and llie menace of concealed Fascism. st n specter of droulli stalked In Northwest liiimigo to crois on farms In South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana caused greyt concern and recalled the disastrous drouth conditions of two years THE hcst-parchc- d go.
