Senator Borah of Idaho, discussing
the statement of Herbert C. Hoover
regarding his attitude toward the
presidency. yesterday declared in the
Senate that as he interpreted the
statement Mr.. Hoover will support
that party which stands for reserva-
tions on the peace treaty which will
protect the Constitution and tradi-
tions OF this country.
On the ground that 1t IL impossible

enant which will safeguard the Con-
United States. Senator Borah argued
that Mr.. Hoover must flnd himself in
the end occupying the same position
as tho so-called ''irreconcilables" in
the Senate. 1t was to tho following
part of Mr.. Hoover's statement that
Senator Borah particularly addressed
himself:
IF the treaty goes over to the
presidential election with feserva
tions necessary to clarity the worlds
mind. that there can be no infringe
ment of the safeguards provided by
our Constitution and our nation old
tradttions). then I must vote for the
party that stands for the league"
Sanator Borah said that he be-
lieved 1t was a fair Interpretation of
this statement to say that Me.
Hoover would stand for the party
which supported the league with
reservations.
'If this is a correct Interpretation
Of Mr.. Hoovers statement" said
Senator Berah, then this statement
is of unusual interest in view Of the
position he has occupied In my epin-
ion Mr.. Hoover may fairly be placed
alongside the so-called irreconcili-
ables, for they have net centended
for anything except q league that
will protect the Constitution and eur
nation old traditions. If such a
league could be drawn / predict the
controversy here would end immedi.
ately. l venture to say that II Mr..
Hoover would take his pencil in hand
he would find that such a league
could not be drawn.
Senator Borah called on Mr.. Hoover
to reply to a list Of questions re-
garding the league of nations which
he had put to other candidates for
