Ilerbert rioover la so deeply con cerned over the opposition to Ilio League of Nations In the United States that he has let himself be In terviewed at length on the League sit uation. In a talk with the New York Tiroes correspondent in I'urla, tho Pood Administration Chief asserts that having caused the League Idea to pre ' vail America cannot abandon It. We cannot withdraw, ho says, and leave Kurope to chaos. "To abandon I lid Leaguo Covenant now means that tho treaty Itself will collapse." Sir. Hoover's wlilu ncqcalnlnnco with conditions both hern nnd abroad, hla reputation as an administrator, a man of great nffnlrs who deals with facta, not theories, make Ids state ment one of tho most Important con tributions to the recent Leaguo discus, lions. 'There are one or two points In con section Willi tho present treaty," said air. Hoover, "Unit need careful consid eration by tlio American public. W Deed la digest tho fact Unit wo havo for u century and a half been advo cating democracy nut only ns a remedy fur the internal Ills of all so ciety, hut also as the only real safe guard against wur. Wo have belluveil and proclaimed, In season and out, that a world in which Micro was u free expression nnd enforcement of tlio will of tile majority was tlio real basis of government, was essentlul for the advancement of clvllliutlon, uiul Hint we have proved Its enormous hu man benefits in our country, American Ideas Have Prevailed. "Wo went Into tlio war to destroy autocracy as a menace to our own and . all other democracies. If wo bad not como Into tlio war every Inch of Euro pean soil today would he under auto cratic govornment. We time ImposiHl our will on tho world. Out of this victory baa como tho destruction of the four great autocracies lu tier many, ltussla, Turkey and Auslrln nnd the little autocracy In (ircece. New democracies liuvo sprung lutu being In Poland, Klulaod, Lcfvla, Lithuania, Rsihoiilo, Czechoslovakia, Croat it Serbia, Orcrce, Siberia, and even Uer Qiuny and Austria have established democratic governments. lleyond these a host of small republics, bucIi as Armenia, Georgia, Aierhaljun uiul ethers, have sprung up. and again as k result of tills great world movement the constitutions of Spain, Kunianln, and even ICnglrfnd, linvo made a f Uiul iscc-ut to complete franchise and de mocracy, although they still nuilntuiu a symbol ot royalty. "We hav been the living spring for tills lust reutury and half from which Uicse Ideas have sprang, and wo have triumphed. The world today, except for a comparatively few reactionary ml communistic autocracies, is dcui emtio, and e did It, "A man who takes t wife and blesses the world wltk several Infants cannot go away and leave them on Hie claim that there was no legal mur .rluge. j ''t hese Infant deniocrurles all havt peJIllcal, social and economic piob ruts Involving their neighbors Hint are fraught with the tipist ' Intense Mellon.

We can not turn hack now. "There Is another point which also needs emphasis. World treaties lilt li- erto have always been based on tho theory of a balance of power. Strong er races have been set up to dominate tlio weaker, partly Willi a view lo maintaining stability and to a greater degree with u view tu miilutuinlug oc cupations and positions for tbo re actionaries of the world. "Tho hiilauco of power Is born of armies and navies, aristocracies, autocracies, nnd reactionaries general ly, who can find employment unit dominutlon In these Institutions, und treaties founded on Mils basis have established stability after each great war fur a shorter or longer time, but never luoro than n generation.
