HOOVER STRIVES
FOR D. A. R. AID
Delivers Address With Def
mite Purpose of Winning
World Court Support.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Hoover's speech before the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
was delivered with the definite purpose
OF winning If possible, the support of
one of the organiza tions which it has
been thought might form the nucleus
OF opposition to the proposed treaties
limiting naval armament.
The date was changed to suit the
wishes OF the President, and much time
was given by him to the preparation
of the address. When the Illinois SEN
atorial primary contest showed that the
victor had opposed American entry into
the World Court opponents of the court
jumped to the conclusion that the ad-
ministration might attempt to soft
pedal the issue. Mr.. HooVer'S reaSSur-
ance Of his interest in the World Court
and his outSpoken advocacy of Ameri-
can acceptance Of the court protocol
under the formula drawn by Elihu Root
was somewhat unexpected, for 1t has
been really believed he would not do
much about the question till after the
congressional elections.
Will Press for Action.
Indeed, there has been severe criti-
ciSm that the "irrecOncilable" group
rather than the majority in the Senate
has been influencing the Hoover foreign
policy in connection with the conSulta-
ton pact discussed at the London Con-
ference. The Presidents willingness to
reiterate his position on the World
Court is taken to mean that he will
press for action on it by the Senate as
part of his peace program.
Friends of the World Court are in

coercion through pooling of either mill
tary or economic strength.
I'VE do not question their right to
come to such conclusions as they see
f1t to follow, arising as they do from
their terrible experience and their ne
ceSSitieS. But the instinct of the vast
majority OF our people Is that our con-
tributionS Is not to be based upon COM
mitments to use force to maintain
peace. This arises both from a feeling
that the threat of force conflicts with
the purpose of peaceful efforts and from
the limitation 1t might place upon our
independent action where We have only
indirect interest. We have come to the
belief that our contribution can best be
made by our good Offices and helpful
ness based upon independence from any
combination pledged to the use OF
force. / believe 1t is clear that the
United States can more effectively and
wisely work for peace without commit
mentS to use coercion to enforce settle
mentS. Our position was made clear in
q statement issued jointly by the prime
minister of England and myself at the
time of his memorable visit OF good Will
to this country. We said:
Cooperate for Peace.
"'The part of each of our governments
in the promotion of world peace will be
different, as one will never consent to
become entangled In European diplo-
macy and the other is resolved to pur-
sue a policy of active cooperation with
it's European neighbors, but each of our
governments will direct its thoughts
and influence toward securing and
maintaining the peace of the world.
within these principles which are in
full accord with the traditions We have
from our forefathers, We should hold
an open mind and engage in advance
ment of the methods by which the con-
troversieS in the world may find pacific
settlement and by which We can CO.
operate in the prevention of war. For
the Am arican people want peace in the
world. not alone as a matter Of material
interest to our prosperity and welfare,
but because gains to the moral and
spiritual forces of the world are made
through peace and not through war"
