[RATIFY TREATY,
HOOVER WARNS
ALL SENATORS
Calls on Factions to Support
Plans of Mild Reserva
tionists.
AGAINST POLL FIGHT
BALTIMORE. Feb. 23. Warning
against the judgment of ‘-police court
minds." Herbert Hoover, speaking at
Johns Hopkins university today, called
upon senate factions to ratify the peace
treaty on the basis of mild reservationist
proposal-.
“It appears to many of us." Hoover
said, "that the most practical hope ol
immediate ratification lies in the ‘lesser
reservatlonists" accepting the proposals
of the ‘mild reservationists.' For my
part, if the league can not prove its
value under the latest proposals of the
‘mild reservationists' it will never prove
them under the proposals of the ‘lesser
reservationists.’ ”
In addition to speaking for treaty
ratification, Hoover called attention to
the necessity for an immediate raise in
the salaries of teachers and professors.
AGAINST TREATY
AS CAMPAIGN ISSUE.
Hoover declared against injecting the
treaty into the coming campaign and
pointed out that our policy under the
league, if it is finally accepted, must stlil
be worked out. There arejnany. he said,
who believe this country should stay out
of purely European affairs.
“The treaty, as distinguished from the
covenant tof the league of nations) was
born in fire and suffering, a sense of
wrong, the passions of revenge and fear
that grow from them." lie said. “.Al
ready many of its signatories are
acknowledging it must be revised."
Hoover said that if the new European
states would survive they must reinteg
rate much of their former economic rela
tionships and free themselves from bur
dening armaments.
Not only the economic questions, but
the problem of getting the maximum
reparations, depend on the coming of
"real peace." Hoover said, and added:
“It will be delayed as long as we bang
the treaty in the air, for we are a part
of it.
WORLD HELD
IN SUSPENSE.
“I do not believe tbe adherence of the
American ppople to the league requires
any demonstration. I believe that tbe
majority of our people are convinced of
the necessity of reservations with the
league. Both parties to the conflict ap
peir to concede this. The conflicting
groups over the character of the reserva
tions have gradually abandoned their
extreme ground and have come closer to
a common mind. It would appear to
an outsider that both sides were in agree
ment on all the great major Ideas of the
league and tbe major ideas of rservations.
but that they are in disagreement mostly
over secondary question in the reser
vations.
“In the meantime the world is held
in suspense. Infinite misery gees on
accumulating. Already the distrust and
undermining of confidence and credit in
the world have crippled our export mar
ket. Our farmers are the first to suffer.
The prices of our farm products are
rapidly failing below the cost of pro
duction. If we' are to have economic
stability at home, it can be maintained
only through stability in our agricultural
population."
Hoover then launched into an attack
on the injection of the treaty into the
coming elections.
DELAY TO BRING
NO PARTY CREDIT.
v “There swtns to boa notion that ad
vantage could bo gained by a presidential
election upon the minor differences as to
reservations.'' he said. "I can not believe
that such a notion is sincerely held by the
dominant groups in the senate. Such a
thing means that we shall continue this
accumulation of danger for another year.
It is my impression that there is no party
credit in this position."
Hoover th<<n outlined his suggestions
as to what he believed is the only imme
diate solution of ratification.
EXTREME VIEWS
POINTER OUT.
Declaring the war has brought us new
relationships which we can not escape.
Hoover said:
"Our old relations will be expanded,
or at ler.st better organized by the
league. We hare two extreme views
among pur peoples upon the policies we
should adopt in all these matters. One
contends the ideal is isolation —leave
Europe to herself —and the other con
tends for at least moral domination as
a mission of international Justice. Many
of ns want neither extreme.
“Assuming that some day it will be
ratified in .some form, the nature of
our policies under the league has yet
to be developerd. Wc all hope for its
immediate energies in the reduction of
armament, the development of engines of
conciliation of arbitration and codes and
courts of international justice. We hope
for its influence in the destruction of the
economic barriers set up before ami
-ince the Avar, which stifle the recupera
tion and the free entry of our own com
merce over the world.
•'Some of us hope that the league will
not interpose in international differences
• xeept at the last stage necessary to miti
gate the growth of conflict and some of
us have no liking for mandates of any
European state.”
Time and encouragement are needed to
develop the treaty constructively under
the league, he said.
rRGBS FOOD
FOR EI’ROPE.
‘•We have great responsibilities of sym
pathetic character to some of our sister
democracies in Europe." he said. "They
Involve no political commitment. They
spring from the human heart Had we
not intervened. Europe today would be
governed by autocracies from the Baltic
to the Mediterranean.
"Some of the cities of Poland, Finland.
Fzecho-Slovakla and Austria today are
struggling with starvation among their
men. women and children. Their re
cuperation has not proceeded far enough
to enable them to find food through
private credits. We have no right to
deny them the small amount of food
credit pending their recuperation. If we
fall to do this we are not true to our
sons who lie buried on the continent of
Europe."

BERLIN MISSIONS
TOO WELL FED
Gives W rong Impression, Say
Hotel Keepers .
BERLIN. Feb. 23.—Members of mis
sions from allied countries are too well
fed by German hotel keepers and conse
quently get a wrong impression of food
conditions in Germany, the official or
gan of the German hotel keepers’ or
ginization declares in a signed article.
The German people suffer ns a result,
the article points out. as the members
of the missions return home with the
impression that Germany has a plenti
ful supply of food, all because of the
anxiety of the bonlfaces to make the
visiting officials comfortable, and set
them a good table.
The article declares that members of
the American mission have especially
misrepresented conditions after having
lived for several months in a fashion
able hotel, where they wanted for noth
ing.

HIERARCHY GIVES
CATHOLIC ADVICE
Churches Hear First Pastoral
Letter Since 1881.
TANARUS) e first letter'to be Issued jnintlv by
the Catholic hierarchy sin-e the third
plenary council held in Baltimore in ISM
was read In every Catholic church in the
country yesterday.
The letter was signed by James Car
dinal Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore.
n behalf of all other archbishops and
bishops of the I idled States, Cardinal
Gibbons is the sole survivor of the third
plenary connell.
I’raise and thanksgiving for the many
bleasings which have been bestowed ,on
the church and on the country were of
sored in the letter, which commented
widely on the far reaching events tend
ing toward the welfare of mankind since
the letter of ISS4.
In discussing the issues between capi
tal and labor it Is said in the letter that
these Issues are not purely economic, but
at the bottom are moral and religious
as well. Regarding these Issues the let
ter comments:
‘The right of labor to a living wage,
with decent maintenance for the present
and provision for rtie future. iy generally
recognized. The right of rapltal to a
fair day's work for a fair day's pay Is
equally plain. To secure the practical
recognition and exercise of both rights,
good will, no less than adherence to Jus
tice, is required. Animosity anil mis
trust should first be cleared away. When
this Is done, when the parties meet in
a friendty rather than a militant spirit.
It will be possible to effect a concilia
tion."
Racial questions, educational problems,
conditions of living, the relation of for
eigners to the government, the war cf
sects, industrial reorganization, religious
activities and other vital topic* were dls
cussed In the letter from a world view
point.

SPECIAL SESSION
TO BE THROTTLED
(Continued From Page One.)
state administration and tbe candidates
for governor decide what the legislature
should do to place the party in the best
light, letters will be sent to members of
the assembly Informing them that it is
up to them to make an agreement to do
Just what the governor thinks they
should do. It will not be so easy to ob
tain pledges this time as it was when
the assembly was to be called for the
ratification of the suffrage amendment,
however, because at that time many of
the legislators agreed to limit the session
In the Interest of suffrage. This time
they will be asked to limit it solely In
the interest of tbe Goodrich administra
tion.
ASSEMBLY MAY ACT
ON TAN QUESTION.
Among the matters which the assembly
probably will take up will be su amend
ment to the state tax law eliminating
the provision giving the state tax bonre
control over local bond Issues and local
tax as-essments. It Is also probable
that the provision which prevents this
year's taxes from becoming a lien on
real estate also will be Tbe
governor has repeatedly stated that any
amendment to the tax law must come
from the legislature Itself, but it is an,
dorstood that he will give the members
of the assembly to understand that be
will not object to these amendments, pi
though he may not openly suggest then.
State institutions, which with the
boasted economy have been in a bad con
dition because the o-onomy was forced
by lack of Binds, probably will be given
sufficient, funds to tide them over this
year and next year until appropriations
to be bade by the 1921 assembly become
available.
Another appropriation for which there
Is an urgent necessity, is the appropria
tion of funds for the construction of the
state war memorial, which is to house
the national headquarters of the Ameri
can legion.
Road law amendments also will be
made, especially important being an
amendment to tbe county-unit road law,
to correct errort* made at the last reg
ular session.
Amendment* to the election law* also
will be necessary. Although there Is stlil
considerable uncertainty as to whether
■women will he permitted to vote at the
November election, this will not orevent
the legislature from passing laws pro
viding for tbelr voting in case the amend
ment Is ratified by sufficient states to
make It a part of the federal eonstltu
tion.
DEPOSITORY QUESTION
TO BE ACTED ON.
Amendments to the depository law
providing that county treasurers may not
retain Interest on Barrett law funds
probably will be taken up at the special
session. The session also will be asked
to enact legislation providing that coun
t.v auditors and treasurers shall he paid
a per diem for attending meeting* of
county board* of review. It I* prob*ble
also that the assembly will be asked to
enact a “blue sky" law which was not
passed at the regular session.
These. In brief, are the thing* that Gov.
Goodrich expects the assembly to take
up In a limited session. The governor
has no power to limit the session to the
consideration of any particular subjects
and It Is probable that many other
things will be taken up before the leg
islature adjourns
