As to Herbert Hoover, Mr. McGee
freely recognised his ability as a
great engineer and mining expert;
but these, he said, furnished little
preparation for the Intelligent man

General Wood, he acknowledged,
is a solendld soldier. But. he assert

department, but that this does not

equally successful, should he be
placed at the head oi tne attairs pi
the nation as chief executive.
"Herbert Hoover," Mr. McGee said
"has taken three distinct attitudes
on the League of Nations. While In
Paris when tbe treaty was under dis
cussion he is said to have advisen
President Wilson to withdraw ail
American operations from Europe as
soon as possible after the war had
ended and stay out.
"Later. In an address at htantora

self in favor ot the League of Na

At a subsequent time the food ad

was for the league subject to cer
