HOOVER Home;
FAVORS TREATY
AS IT STANDS
Food Head Returns to Amer
lea Saturday on Liner
Aquitania.
SAYS ALLIANCES WILL FAIL
BIZ United Press:

by Onlteo fresS,
NEW YORK. Sept. 13.-"I stand
for the League Of Nations-'as it
is"
Herbert Hoover made this declar-
alton Saturday when he returned to
America or the liner Aquitania.
This treaty is constructed around
the theory of the League Of Ma
tons and not on a theory of a bal
snce Of power"
There are more than so refer
ences to the League of Nations in
the treaty. Hoover declared. The
two, he added, are interdependent.
Won't Alter Character.
Il don't believe the League of
Nations will change mems charac-
ter overnight" said Hoover. Every
possibly, nations will attempt to
make alliances and effect balances
of power even thugh the League of
Nations is adopted, but 1 believe
such win fall
With regard to the German in
demnity. Hoover said, mo living
soul now knows whether Germany
can ever ray. but IL is certain she
cannot unless she can obtain cred
it's with which to purchase raw ma
terials in America and other ma
tons"
The delay in making peace. he
said, has had a terrible result In the
economic and social life of Europe
The dominant thought among all
European peoples. he said, is for
peace.
Economic Friction.
There is economic friction on ev-
cry boundary line in Europe. Trans
portation between nations is only
possible through agreements OBJ
tanned by the American economic
commission. Until peace is declared
all life in Europe must be based on
the hand-to-mouth principle be-
cause no definite plans of a con-
structive nature can be made"
Approximately $9O,OOO,0OO of the
500, 100000 appropriated for Eu-
ropean relief by congress will be re-
paid to this country. Hoover said.
That amount was loaned for relief
purposes abroad on good security.
The remaining 100000 was de-
voted TO charity. he said.
Since the declaration Of the arm
istice America mas supplied Europe
with s2.225,OOO worth of supplies,
Hoover said. During the next year
he added. this country must supply
Europe with fifty percent of it's food
necessities.
All Need Help.
"All of the great countries of Eu-
rope and all of the neutrals will
need assistance" he said. Bulgaria.
Serbia and Hungary will be practi-
cally self-suppOrting. however"
Social unrest in Europe is sub
siding. Hoover said, and the danger
Of Bolshevism passed last Febru-
airy with the definite assurance of
food supplies through the American
commission. Bolshevism is losing
ground, bth as a philosophy and as
a fact. he said.
Hover predicted that the price OF
food staples in America and
throughout the world shortly viii
begin to fall.
