tions which Fuller asked Warner at a
political rally at Salem in September,

did make a general denial in which he

HOOVER DEPRE-
Gates BLOODY
SHIRT" SHAKING
Declares Four Power Treaty Eliminate.
Causes Of Friction Among
Nations.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 2l.-Her
bert Hoover in speech here last nigh
before the Lincoln club, declared tina
the four. power Pacific treaty eliminat
ed causes of friction among nations.
He accused opponents of the treaty
Of shaking the bloody shirt" in al
attempt to efind some hidden meaning
some terrible subversion of American
rights" in the pact
"The usual controversy has been
raised over the ratification of this lat
est attempt of nations to agree upon
practical steps toward peace" he said
These agreements were limited to the
narrow field of disarmament in the be-
lief that here was an issue upon which
full unity Of the American people could
be obtained There is that unity, ex-
cept among a few who prefer measures
of force to measures of good will in
our international relations.
''It seems to me that the simple ques-
ton is DO we want disarmament Ii
we do want it, then it must be brought
about by agreements under which 9TH
ers reduce their arms also. We cannot
sacrifice the safety Of America by quix-
otic disarmament ourselves alone.
Sin consequence the administration
has negotiated a series Of agreements
which do eliminate the causes OF fric-
ton with our neighbors. which do place
us in position to reduce our naval
strength in common with Others and
to maintain complete defense OF the
American people in any event that
may come to us. and, above all we
start the train OF forces of good will.
which are the foundation Of peace.
"To me, this is the first effective step
IN the moral reconstruction of the
world. Ii is a real response to world
prayer for substitution of measures of
good win for measures OF force.
Looking at the results solely from
,ur American point of view we can
content ourselves in great accomplish
nents The jeopardy Of war has been
most assuredly driven beyond our gen
ration. Naval rivalry with England
las been stopped, with all the impliea-
ions. which must follow from the
ivalry.
"The Anglo-Japanese alliance has
,een abolished.
"The points of friction between our
elves and Japan lave been settled. /
The major differences between China
nd Japan have been adjusted. The
ide Of foreign aggression on the from
iers Of China has been turned back.
he open door has been made effective.
@The world could not go on in rival
les in implements to kill, rivalries
hat we're based on growing political
without entering upon the
,b of killing.
."This is the first precise and sub
tantial contribution in history to the
roblem Of disarmament. But it j.
,ore than that. 1t provides an agreed
tito Of strength. This ratio has been
titled on. foundations that protect the
.nsibilities and interests and enlist the
pod will of the great powers" ii
