In the 1948 presidential election, what did the Democratic Party (Truman's) platform consist of?
I'm looking for something non civil rights related.
Thanks

They were against isolationism. They were for the UN and foreign aid. They wanted price controls and to build public housing.They wanted a raise in the minimum wage and to expand on the constitution to make the federal government responsible for schools. They wanted to lower the age requirement for SS to 60 and to have universal healthcare.

A promise to the world that the USA would fight Communism wherever it reared its ugly head. Really worked, right?
