BALTIMORE, February 23.1Herbert
C. Hoover. former food administrator
declared today in an address at Johns
Hopkins University his opposition to
making ratification of the treaty with
Germany an issue in the presidential
campaign.
He insisted the injection of the ar
guments for and against reservations
would obscure our pressing domes-
tic issues by conflict over a question
in which the country already has made
up its mind" and added. lit is my i'm
preston that there is no party credit
in this position"
Hope for immediate ratification of
the treaty rested, he said, in the ac-
ceptance by the lesser reservation
reservationists." The two combined.
he said. could secure ratification.

that. even from thepoint of view of

eoubt that any necessary changes will
be granted to it by common consent
as the years go on. For my part. if
theleague cannot prove it's value un-
der the latest proposals of the mild

them under the proposals of the less

The present danger Europe is fac

revolutionary cataclysm as the
steady degeneration of the standard
e living and the slow decay of the
forces or stabIIity." Restored produc-
tivity, he insisted. Is essential If the
allies are to receive reparation.
Until then we shall not have real
peace" he said. except in the last
stage necessary to mitigate the
growth of conflict. Some of US have
no liking for mandates of any Eu-
ropean state, for We would thus plunge
ourselves territorially into Europe
itself with long train Of dangers.

Except where the interests of the
United States are vitality concerned
Mr.. Hoover declared himself as op-
posed to American membership on the
various missions provided for in the
treaty for the settlement of questions
raised by the war. The lending OF
money except to alleviate distress
was also opposed.
