States," he added, "will decide this fall whether to turn this | 1944 job -- this worldwide job -- to inexperienced and immature hands, to those who onposed lend-lease and international co operation against forces of ag gression and tyranny until they could read the polls of popu-"* lar sentiment, or whether they wish to leave it to those who saw the danger from abroad who met it head-on and who now have seized the offensive and carried the war to its pres ent stages of success." No. 1 item in the Presi dent's analysis of "the job .before us in 1944" is fast and overpowering victory over the Axis. N.ext is the formation of an international or fwwration which would make future wars impossible, and third is the building of a .firm economy for re turning veterans of the war, Concise Platform President Roosevelt's desife fot a Following his nomination. Mr. Truman was escorted to the platform amid the cheers ot the overflow crowd. In a speech lasting hardly a minute, he said tie would continue his etforts "to help shorten the war and win the peace under the great leadership of President Roosevelt." and then, stating that he did so "with humility." he accepted the nomination.

TRUMAN «|)d international afTairs so amazing the convention ratified by acclama tion the 1,500-word document pre sented by the resolutions committee It was one of the shortest in modern times, with most of its planks single sentences. Chief interest centered in the platform's declaration for a postwar in fernational organization based on sovereign equality and with power to use armed forces if necessary to preserve peace. --^ On the race question, the plat form declared: "We believe that racial and reli gioss minorities have the right tp live, develop and vote equally with all citizens and share the rights that are guaranteed bv our constitution Congress should exert its full con stitutional power to protect those rights." The platform urged steps promoting the encouragement of risk capital and new enterprise and promised special attention to the natural resources of the west. It urged reduction or re peal of wartime taxes as soon as possible. Relaxation of wartime controls lit the earliest possible moment wis; promised, along with a pledge oi special aid to small business and a declaration against monopolies war tels "or any arbitrary private oi public authority." For agriculture, the platform pledged: price guarantees and crop claim it and his enemies dare not threaten it with destruction." Senator Barkley's address precipitated a demonstration which lasted more than half an hour. This was followed by four seconding speeches. Truman became • bandwagon candidate after southern stales which had scattered their votes between Senator Bankhead of Ala bama. Senator Barkley of Ken-" tucky and a long list of favorite sons began to switch their votes to Truman. , Preconvention interest had centered on this contest for the vice presidency and excitement mounted as the three-day meeti ing progressed. While the delegates had before them President Roosevelt's statement that he would vote personally for Mr. Wallace if he were a convention j delegate, they also were tn- I formed that he likewise thought J Senator Truman--or Supreme j Court Justice William O.

Unusual interest had focussed on the keynote speech delivered bv Gov. Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma, for it was the first time the West erner had faced a national partv meeting. Veteran convention attendants were agreed that the Oklaho man's performance ranked high among such performances in their memory. Caustic in his de nunciations of the opposing party and fervent in his praise of the Roosevelt administration Governor Kerr brought cheers from the delegates time after " time. Enunciating traditional party doc trine, he declared that the election of a Republican administration this year would bring about "the certain return of 1932" and would "invite disaster." Robert E* Hannegah, national chairman, told the delegates and guests that "the fortunes of war have been too hard to win to be gambled away in the inexperienced hards of a new commander-in-chief."
