[U.N'rcn Pita* Association,] (Received 1.45 p.m.) Washington, June '6

The St. Louis democratic _ platform condemned hyphenated Americans as subversive to American unity ami destructive of Ihe Nation’s wi iiare. It repudiated their efforts to infiueirce the United States Government, and denounced the existing conspiracies landiiio- neutrality. The plationn held that the United States must use its power not oidy to make itself safe at home, but to secure its just interest throughout the world, affirming the right of small States to live their own lives and choose their own sovereignty. It is believed that the time lias | arrived for America to jon other N’atioiis to prevent wars. Emphasis was, laid on the American assertion of tiny fundamental rights of small States as! against mere questions of property. > In tliis respect, the Wilson Administration (the platform contends) lias maintained the highest traditions of the United States.
