HOOVER TELLS
G. o. IT CAN'T
SCRAP TREATY
Now in Effect Because Europe
Regretted, but Did Not Wait
on u. S. He Says.
LEAGUE ESSENTIAL PART

NEW YORK, June 25.-Earliest
possible ratification of the German
peace treaty, after elimination of ar
hcIe 10 and adherence to the league
- nations, as the platform upon
which the republican party should
stand in the presidential campaign,
was urged by Herbert Hoover in a
statement published by the New
York Evening Post today
Hoover advocated the league as "a
product Of the liberal class Of the
world" declaring that in such an or
ganization there was no place for any
threat of military force such as is i'm
piled in the present Article 10.
Article 10, which Hoover would elimi-
nata states that mem bers of the league
viii undertake TO preserve the territorial
integrity Of member nations.
NOTHING TO IMPLY
BINDING OBLIGATIONS.
Hoover said there was nothing in the
phraseology Of Article 10 constituting a
binding obligation, but declared there
Is an Implication that a party has gen
orally come to be regarded as constitut-
ing a strong moral responsibility"
he said the real cause of dissension
regarding the league was whether the
United States should commit itself to
guarantee the territorial integrity Of for
eign states and to use its military re
sources 10 carry out the leagues de
eision.
This. he said, was the fundamental
question around which the forthcoming
election would be fought
The essential things abou the league
covenant that commends il to me-" he
said, 'sre. first its reco gnition that
wars have their springs chiefly in mis-
understandings. and its provision for an
organization designed 20 minimize occa
stOns for distrust BY continuance com
mon counsel, and second, its creation
OF facilities for cOnTerging upon any
controversy wide publicity and the force
Of public opinion of the world.
The desirability of organizing these
activities by international cooperation is
supported By both our political parties
Through article 10 and some refer
ences' 10 1t, the league covenant is TO a
degree a military alliance.
RA-AWithout this power it might not per
j haTs be as immediate in its effectiveness
against some international crook, but I
tinue in wayward action against such
moral and economic disapproval Of the
whole Of civilization"
Hoover declared that a nation would
lock with suspicion upon a league that
called upon il to sacrifice human life
that the council was hesitating at the
present movement TO curb aggressiveness
in various parts OF the world because Of
the knowledge that IN the present tenn
per of the worlds peoples, not a single
soldier would be furnished by a nation
aside from those -Yith immediate and ma
terias interests at stake.
= SUGGESTS TINE LIMIT

The basic need for threa tening mill
tsry alliance against aggression is 10 con-

which renders them capable Of aggres-
sive action" Hoover continued
