Democratic Platform Extends Pledge Not To Send Troops Abroad
The 1940 Democratic platform pledges no American troops be sent overseas except in case of attack and promises aid to victims of aggressors. The convention approved the plank amid cheers, aligning with Republican vows to uphold the Monroe Doctrine and speed defenses. Senator Wheeler praised the policy for preventing intervention in European war. Rep. Elmer J. Ryan’s bid for a third-term amendment drew boos. Secretary Hopkins said the plank does not change presidential foreign policy.
