Herbert Hoover Says Democra
cies Replaced Autocracies
at Our Bidding.
FOOD ADMINISTRATION CHIEF.
Urges Ratification on Ground That
Peace Treaty Will Collapse
Without League of
Nations.
Herbert I! ovcr Is so deeply con
cerned over 1 opposition to the
I.fiigue of Nations in the United
Kliites (hut ho has lot himself bo in
terviewed at length on the League sit
uation. In a tulk with the New York
Times correspondent In Purls, the
Food Administration Chief asserts that I
having caused the League Idea to pre
vail America cannot abandon It. Wo
cimnot withdraw, he says, and leave
Europe to chaos. "To abandon the
League Covenant now means that the
treaty Itself will collapse."
Mr. Hoover's wide acquaintance
with conditions both here and abroad,
his reputation as an administrator, a
limn of great affairs who deals with
facts, not theories, make his state
ment one of the most Important con
tributions to the recent League discus,
slons.
"There are one or two points In con
nection wltli 1 1 10 present treaty," said
Mr. Hoover, "that need careful consid
eration by 1 1 1 American public. We
" I to digest the fact that we have
for a ceiilury nnd a hair I u ndvo-
ciuing ileinocracy not only as u
remedy for (lie Internal ills or all so
ciety, but also us tin ly real safe
guard against war. We have believed
11ml proclaimed. In season anil out,
that a world in which there was a
free expression and otifoic nt of
the will of Hie majority was the real
basis of government, was essoin ial for
ilm advancement of clvlllniion, nnd
Mint we have provd lis enormous hu
man benefits lu our country.
American Ideas Have Prevailed.
"We went Into the war to destroy
ant. h racy ns a menace to our own nnd
all other democracies. If we bad not
cunie Ikio Die war every Inch of Kuro
pean soil toilay would be under auto
cratic government. We have Imposed
our will on the world. Out of this
victory has come the destruction of
the four great autocracies In Or
inany, Itussla, Turkey und Anstr'a and
ine lime autocracy In tir e. New

j ileinocracy, as a stable form or pivprn
: incut as we know it, is possible only
with highly educated populations and
a large force of men who are callable
of government. Few of the men who
(.ii.iposo these povermnonts have bail
nay actual e:pei-ie::cc at pvi Tiling
and their populations are woefully il
literate. "They will require a generation of
actual national life in peace to de
velop free education and skill in gov
ertiment. "Unless these countries have a guid
ing band and referee in their quarrels,
n court of appeals for their wrongs,
tills Europe will go back to chaos.
If there is such an institution, rep
resenting the public opinion of the
world, and able to exert its authority,
they will grow into stability. We can
not turn back now.
."There Is another point which also
needs emphasis. World trea'les hith
erto have always been based on the
theory of a bulance of power. Strong
er races have been set up to dominate
the weaker, partly with a view to
maintaining stability and to a greater
degree with a view to maintaining oc
cupations nnd positions for the re
actionaries of the world.
"The balance of power Is born of
armies and navies, aristocracies,
autocracies, and reactionaries general
ly, who can find employment and
domination in these Institutions, and
treaties founded on this basis have
established stability after each great
war for a shorter or longer time, but
never more Mian n generation.
"America came forward with a new
Idea, and we Insisted upon Its Injec
tion Into Mils peace conference. We
claimed that it was possible to sot
up such a piece of machinery wit li
such authority Mint the balance of
power could lie abandoned as a relic
of the middle iikcs. We compelled an
entire const ruction of this treaty nnd
every word and line In It to bend to
this idea.
'Out.'.ldp of the League if Nations
the treaty Itself has :w I'jficiencleS.
It represents compi : ; j between
ninny men and betwc a many selfish
Interests, and these very compromises
and deficiencies are multiplied by the
many new nations thai have entered
upon Its signature, and the very safety
of the treaty Itself lies lu a court of
appeal for the remedy of wrongs lu
the treaty.
Benefits ef the League.
"One thing Is certain. There Is no
body of human beings so wise that
treaty could he made that would not
develop Injustice nnd prove to have
been wrong In some particulars. As
the covenant Stan. is today there la a
place at wtiTch redress ran be found
and through which the good-will o
the world can ho enforced. Ttie very
machinery by which the treaty Is to
be executed, and (cores of points yet
to he solved, which have been referred
to the League of Nations as method
of securing more mature Judgment In
t less heated atmosphere, Justifies the
creation of the League.
"To abandon the covenant now
means that the treaty Itself will col
lapse. "It would tnk the exposure of but
a few documents at my hand to prove
that I hnd been tin- most reluctant of
Americans to become involved In this

Dr. Livingston Farrand, the great
est autnonty on public health in Amer
ica, served in France as the head of
the fight against tuberculosis. He now
succeeds Henry P. Davison as head
if the American Red Cross. Dr. Far
rand recentlyvisited Seattle, Spo
tane and Portland and conferred with
representatives of Red Cross Chap
ters of Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington. "The Red Cross faces
problems in the post-war period more
serious, if possible, than the problems
of the war itself. Not a great amount
of money, but the membership and
hearty co-operation of every American
citizen is what is needed to help the
Red Crca3 to solve these problems,
which threaten our national vitality,
and which, unless sidved, will rob us
of the fruit3 of victory," said Dr. Farrand.
Til? v'CZ-x Red C'"'" s. nofivdlni?
tn ii si".1--. !, n: ji'st Issued from Vv'as'i
:cK 0,1. Yj. (.'., bt lieves that its first
duty is to timsh its war task, one hun
r'.re l per cent. The Red Cross must
als-j .continue to carry on even more
effect iv..!v than in the past, its estab
Usdiesl 's: s era of National and Internal!'-
si rcl'of. in mltigaling the suf
.....3 . .( famiie, fire, floods,
and ' rut liaiicr.a! calamities. It must
also render every necessary servica
to 1:m Array and Ntvy. and must con
tinue the work undertaken prior to
the war in the field of nursing and
First Aid.
The responsibilities of the Rod
Cross are greatly increased as a result
of the lessons taught by the war, the
statement continues. Higher stand
ards of responsibility have been set
to prevent needless suffering and loss
of life. The Red Cross, with its tradi
tions and its established organization,
will aid in maintaining these stand
ards by co-operating with all recog
nized agencies engaged in conserving
human life and happiness. Activities
already authorized include the en
couragement and support of Public
Health Nursing, educational classes in
dietetics, home care of the sick, and
First Aid, the extension of Red Cross
Home Service, an increased junior
program, and co-operation In develop
ing community health centers.
War time developments have given
every community in the United States
a recognized and organized center of
Red Cross activity through which the
people of that community may, if they
wish, servo themselves, with ell the
advantages of national leadership, na
tional standards, national and Inter
national contacts. It rests with the peo
ple of every community to determine
for themselves Just how fully they
have need of a movement which under
the associated Red Cross Societies is
to express the effort of the peoples
of the world to free themselves from
needless death and suffering through
neighborly cooperation and service.
