HOOVER DECLARES THAT WAY IS.
 OPEN TO RATIFY THE TREATY AND
 NOT MAKE 1T POLITICAL ISSUE ANOTHER SKIRMISH IN SENATE

BALTIMORE; Feb. 23.-Herberi Hoover in speaking before the John Hopkins University here declared his unalterable opposition to making the ratification of the treaty an issue in the forthcoming campaign.
 He asserts that the "areuments on the treaty would obscure our pressing democratic issues" He said the coun. try already had made up it's mind on the treaty, and that "there can be 10 party credit in a treaty fight"
 MT. Hoover said 1t was his hope that the treaty would be immediately ratified, and that it's ratification rest ed in the acceptance by the lesser re- servationists of the proposals of the mild reservatonists. He said both sides appear to be agreed on the Leagues significant and major ideas.
 MT Hoover said the real peace of the world would be delayed until the United States ratifies the treaty and League of Nations is thus allowed to properly function.
