not be made by autocreciee for the
profit Of thtr class; third, that
there should be established q world
council, the league.
This IL an aspiration which has
been rising IN the hearts Of all the
world. It has become an insistence
in the minds of all those in the
world to whom the lives OF our sons
are precious. To all those to whoIG
civilization is a thing to be safe
guarded, and all those who see no
hope for the amelloration of the
misery of those who toll if peace
cannot be maintained.
Unanimous Consent Required.
THE league agrees that military
against invasion Of one country by
another but in other things unan-
imous consent is required, and the
consent must mean the United
States congress on our side. From
my own experience, 1 believe that
the discussion, negotiation, arbi-
tration, enlightenment of public
opinion and leading to the moral
isolation of an outcast Will be all
sufficient coupled with the know
ledge that other weapons exist. The
hope which 1, as an independent
observer, have placed IN the league
is that it will forever relieve the
United States of the necessity to
again send single soldier out
side of our boundaries.
Those who formulated the
league did not expect that it would
furnish an overnight solution to
all Uncorrected international
wrongs or the disruption of these
unloosened forces. They did expect
that by degrees there would be a
definite alignment of opinion in
the world that would make these
wrongs less and that could in great
measure restrain the actual out
breaks of war and give the world
time to heal its wounds. Even the
sermon on the mount did not
wholly regenerate the world.
I'VE hear the cry that the league
obligates that our sons be sent to
fight in foreign lands. Yet the
very intent and structure of the
league is to prevent war. There is
no obligation for the United States

egotism OF insanity.
I'VE are overseas people and we
are dependent upon Europe for a

cation in Europe social diseases

to interest ourselves in the welfare
of the world if we are to thrive.

HOOVER POINTS
OUT RESULT OF
TREATY FAILING
Inevitable Loss of All We Fought
for Impends if New Negotia-
tons are Forced.

When Herbert Hoover, who acted
as economy director of the supreme
war council at Paris, returned to
this country recently he was urged
by former President Taft and many
others to make a public statement
of his views on the peace treaty
and League of Nations. Mr.. Hoover
agreed to give his views in a
speech to be delivered at Stanford
university, Palo Alto, Cal. In the
speech. which was delivered Thurs
day night, Mr.. Hoover said:
The treaty is by no means PEI
feet. l see no method by which it
could have been made perfect when
500 men representing % different
nationalities, were engaged in its
negotiation and agreement had to
be unanimous. Differences in ma
tionaI character and in national
could but cause differ
ence in views. Many of them rep
resented desperate, passionate or
selfish objects. some were dom
mated by political ideals of the
last century, yet most were actu-
ated by the prayers Of the common
people, who really fought this war,
that il should be the last war.
'The men of vision at the con-
ference were steadfast for certain
dominant ideals shat mark this
apart from all others,
first, that this settlement should
as many of the immediate
causes of war as possible by de-
enemy domination over
other races, second by establishing
the new governments on a demo-
cratic basis so that wars should

extra armament destroyed. The
failure OF the treaty means the In
vasion OF the Polish state. This is
only one Of the powder magazinen
In Europe which cannot be de-
stroyed until this treaty is ratified
and during every day of delay more
explosives are poured into them.
Road Through Chaos.
81 am confident that If we at
tempt now to revise the treaty we
shall tread a road through Euro
pean chaos. Even if we managed
to keep our soldiers out of it we
will not escape fearful economic
losses. If the league is to break
down we must at once prepare TO
fight. Few people seem to realize
the desperation TO which Europe
has been reduced.
I'VE cannot fiddle while Rome
burns. The allies may themselves
ratify this treaty without us and
thus assemble a council of nations
of their own in an endeavor 10
solve the problems of Europe II
would be a council of Europe and
in the midst of these terrible times,
considering the debts they owe us,
the material they must have from
us or starve, / would rather that
we be represented therein lest it
become a league of Europe against
the western hemisphere. A peace
without US means more army and
navy for US, with the old treadmill
of taxes and dangers for US.
Neither the gospel OF hate nor
the gospel of UnprepareIness is
the road to peace. The true road
lies in every effort to remove the
cause of war, not in tearing down
such structure Of peace as We have
nor in blindness to present dan
gers. Those who think we can iso-
late ourselves seem to ignore the
fact that modern communication
has shortened our distance from
our neighbors from Il month to an
hour. A vast amount of our civ
ilization and the daily improve
ments of life that come TO our
people are the products Of the ideas
and intelligence and labor of our
neighbors. If We believe we can
see our neighbors return to another
20 years war through the break

to engage IN military operations or
to allow any interference with our
internal affairs without the full
consent OF our representatives in
the league.
NegatiOn Of MiHtarism.
ITO me every line OF the cove
nant is the complete negation Of
militarism. During the course of
negotiations in Paris one fact
stood out with regard to the league.
It's opposition there arose entirely
from the representatives of the
old militarist regimes and from the
reactionaries of the world in gen
eral They saw in it truly the un-
dermining of militarism. They
had the vision to see and even
openly to state that it would mean
the ultimate abandonment of mill
tary force in the world. For they,
as of old, contend that without the
exercise of military power there is
no hope of the maintainence of
human efficiency or control of the
masses.
There are many elements in
Europe who wish to see the treaty
break down and the League of Ma
tons disappear.
For instance during the last five
months our allies have been grow
ing weaker from a military point
of view, due to the necessity of de-
mobilizing their armies, while at
the same time the reactionary
group in Germany has been grow
ing in strength through the hope
of yet securing a division of the
allies. At the time 1 left Europe,
a month ago, the German military
had already reestablished itself as
a well disciplined, well Differed
army of at least 5000 men, large
ly corgregated at the Polish from
tier and even defying the govern
ment at Berlin. Under the alarm
of this danger the Poles. in the
midst of the greatest economic mis-
cry that a nation ever knew, have
been trying to create an army of
100000 men for their protection
from the Germans on one side and
the bolsheviks on the other. If the
treaty is ratified the German army
will be reduced to 100000 men and
dispersed over Germany and their
