 HANDED PREMIER BAUER

Berlin, Feb. S.-The allied list of war criminals. and. the covering letter was handed to Premier Gustav Bauer at o'clock Saturday night by M De Marcilly, the French charge daffalres. A letter from Premier Millerand ac- companied the note and list, explaining the new procedure of the allies as the outcome of the refusal of Baron Kurt Von Lersner to transmit the hst 10 the German government.
 Premier Bauer expressed to the French charge the governments dls- approval of Won Lersner's action.
 The cabinet is sitting today to dis cuss the allied demands.
 The covering note says that not all Germans guilty of infractions of the laws of warfare are included in the list, but for reasons Of practleapIl- ity only those are cited to whom the greatest responsibility attaches. The allied powers, however, do not propose amnesty for those not included, but reserve the right to prosecute them III the event they are apprehended in fheir territoris. Possession of all German documentary evidence and access to the archives are also de- i manded, to facilitate prosecution. In a supplementary note the aiileo mowers reply to the German commit nication of January 25, which explain ed Germany's reasons for not carrying out the extradition provision, Premier Millerand, in letter to Gustav Bauer, ,, intimates that he does not hold the German government responsible for Baron Von Lersner's action in quit ting Paris, because he assumes that Germany will not attempt to evade a treaty obligation to which it's sigma ture was affixed.
 Official quarters thus far have de- cIined information regarding the size or nature of the list.

New York, Feb. 6-Herbert Hoover tonight issued 8 statement defining his attitude toward the presidency. He announced that he is not a candi- date for the nomination and that no one is authorized to speak for him politically. If the League of Nations is made an issue in the election he says he will vote for the party that stands for the league. In response to requests that he declare allegiance to either one or the other of the great political parties, MT. Hoover says he will wait until it more definitely ap- pears what the party managers stand for, and will exercise a prerogative of American citizenship and decline to pledge my vote blindfold". His statement follows:
 t1n order to answer a large num- Der of questions all at once, let me emphasiz that I have taken day off from the industrial conference in Washington to New York solely to attend to pressing matters in connec- ton with the childrens relief. l want tot say again: I have not sought and am not seeking the presidency. I am not a candidate. I have no 'organi- zation', No one is authorized to speak for me politically
 "As an American citizen by birth and of long ancestry. I am naturally deeply interested in the present crit ical situation My sincere and only political desire is that one or both of the great political parties will ap- proach the vital issues which have grown out of the war and are new, with clear purpose looking to the welfare of our people and that can didates capable of carrying r5out this work should be nominated.

Both these extremes, camou- fiaged or open, are active enough in the country today: Neither of these nominations would enable those con structive economic policies that will get us down from the unsound eco homie practices which of necessity grew out of the war, nor woud they secure the good will to production in our farmers and workers or maintain m me initiative of our business men. The issues look forward not back.
 do not believe in more than two great parties. Otherwise, combina- tons of groups could, as sin Europe. create danger of minority rule, I do believe in party organization Ito support great ideals and to carry great issues and consistent policies. Nor can any one man dictate the is- sues of great parties. It appears to me that the hope of a great majority of our citizens in confronting this new period in American life is that the great parties wilI take opposite stands on the many issues that cor. front us, and will select men whose character and associations will guar | antee their pledges.
 T am being urged by people in both parties to declare my allegiance to either one or the other. Those who know me that I am able to make up my mfnd when a subject is clearly de- fined. Consequently. until it more definitely appears what the party managers stand for must exercise a perogative of American citizenship and decline to pledge my vote blind fold.
