MIR. Hoover's Appeal for
Ratification

Mr.. Hoover, at last openly break
ing with the President as to the
treaty and it's ratification, yesterday
strongly urged acceptance of the
compromise ratification resolution
now awaiting ths Senate's final
action.
1t would have been better if Mr..
Hoover had made this declaration
earlier, just as it would have been
better if other friends Of the league
idea made similar ones earlier. For
a long time it has been manifest
that the President was the sole
obstacle to a ratification which prac-
tically all except Senator Borah's
negligible group agreed should be ac-
corded. But the President had a
strangle-hold on "Me, too," Senators.
He frightened his grip as often as
gurgling signs of a desire to vote
"aye" were heard. And other per-
sons, instead of joining in efforts to
stop the throttling, either did moth
ing or "stood by" the President. 1t
is we'll to support a President, but
not at the expense of the country
on such prime matter as the treaty
and the league.
May the last-hour appeal Of Mr.
Hoover not be without effect. If half
dozen more Administration Sena-
tors can be induced to disregard the
White House order the treaty may
yet be saved. 1t is scarcely conceiv-
able that a single member of the
Senate is at heart with the Presi-
dent. All know that he not only has
led the treaty to slaughter-h
but his party to an open grave. No
need is there to inform them that if
they join with the Borah group in
killing the treaty record will be
made that it would be impossible to
defend.
If the theory is entertained that
the White House hopes to establish
an alibi by having the actual death
blow delivered in the Senate cham
Der rather than in the executive Of
flee it may be dismissed. If the
treaty becomes dead there will be no
general doubt as to whence came the

not with him. His tenure in Con-
stantinople was shadow and a
fiction even before the Allied troops
landed. 1t is meaningless now: The
city of Constantine has ceased to be
the seat Of Turkish power. 1t has
repassed into Christian hands. The
Turks know that the crescent. has
been lowered in Stamboul. And if
they know this, why try to prolong
the illusior that Constantinople is
still the center Of the Moslem world?
Why not send the Caliph-if he is
still the Caliph-to join his people
