the consent must mean the United States
Congress on our side. From my own ex-
pcricnce / believe that the discussion,
negotiations, arbitration and cnlightcn-
mcnt Of public opinion, leading to the
normal isolation of an outcAst will be all
sufficient, coupled with the knowledge
that other weapons exist. The hope
which /, as an independent observer, have
placed in the League ia that il will forever
relieve the United States Of the necessity
TO again send single soldier outside of
our boundaries.
HOOVER CITED NEED or CONSENT.
I'm further discussing our responsible

awe hea rthe cry that the League obli-
gates that our sons be sent to fight in
foreign lands. Yet the very intent and
structure Of the League il to prevent war.
There is no obligation for the United
States TO engage in military operations
or allow any interference with our internal
affairs without the full consent of our
representatives in the League.
'"To me every line of the Covenant is
the complete negation Of militarism.
During the course Of negotiations in Paris
the fact stood out with regard to the
League The opposition there arose en-
tirely from the representatives Of the old
mlitaristic regimes and from the reaction

Evidently Mr.. Hoover does not agree
with Mr.. Harding that the League Of
Nations is a mere super-governmcnt
whose object is war, for in his Leland
