Herbert Hoover Is ‘‘so desply con
s: eerited over the opposition to the

Stales that ho has lot hinisolf ho lu
torvlowed at length on the League ait
nation. In a talk with tin* Now York
Times correspondent in. Paris, the !
Food Administration Chief assorts that |
having caused the League Idea to,pre
vail America cannot abandon It. We
cannot withdraw, ho says, and leave
I Europe to chaos. "To abandon the
League Covenant now moans that the
: treaty Itself will collapse.”
Mr. Hoover’s wide acquaintance
with conditions both here and abroad
his reputation as an administrator, a
man of great affairs who deals with
facts, not theories, make ids state
ment one of the most important con
tributions to the recent League discus
■***""*’ -\Sion*.
p “There are one or two points in con
nection with the present treaty,” said
Mr. Hoover, "that need careful consid
eration by the American public. We j
need to digest the fact that wo have j
for a century and a half boon udvo
| eating democracy not only as a
l, remedy for the internal fils y)f all so
’ 1 Clety, bat also as the only real safe
guard against war. We have believed
and proclaimed. In season and out,
that a world in which there was a
free expression and enforcement of
the will of the majority was the real
basis of government, was essential for
the advancement of civilization, and
that we have proved Its enormous hu- j
man benefits in our country.
American Ideas Have Prevailed.
"We went Into Ihe war to destroy
autocracy as a menace to our own and
all other democracies. If we bad not
come into the war every Inch of Euro
pean soil today would be under auto
cratic government. We have impast'd
our will on the world. Out of lids
Victory has come the destruction of
the tour great autocracies in Ger
many, Russia, Turkey and Austria and
the little autocracy In Greece. New
democracies have sprung into being in
t Poland, Finland. Letvia, Lithuania,
Esthonin, Czechoslovakia. Greater
v * Serbia, Greece, Siberia, and even Ger
■; v many and Austria have established
democratic governments. Beyond
these a host of small Republics, such
as Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and
others, haive sprung up. and algaiu as
a result of this great world movement
the constitutions of Spain, Rumania,
and even England, have made a final
ascent to complete franchise and do
tnoerney, although they still maintain
a symbol of royalty.
"We have been the living spring for
this last century and half from which
these Ideas have sprung, and we have
triumphed. The world today, except
for a comparatively few reactionary
and communistic autocracies, is dem
ocratic, and we did it.
"A man who takes a wife and
blesses the world with several infants
cannot go away and leave them oD‘
the claim that there was no legal uiar
riage.
“These Infant democracies >pll have
political, social and economic prob
lems involving their neighbors that
are fraught with the most intense
friction. There an' no natural bound
aries In Europe. Races are not com
pact; they blend at every border. They
need railway communication and sea
outlets through their neighbors’ terri
tory. *
“Many of these states must for the
next few years struggle almost for
bare bones to maintain their very
existence. Every one of tlunn Is go
ing to do Its best; to protect its own
Interests, even to the prejudice of iu
neighbors.

THE EVE.MXQ CAPITAL ASP MARVt.AXI> GAZETTE, ANN A I'OI-IS. MARYLAND. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER i, W-
democracy, as a stable form of govern
ment as we know it. Is possible only
with highly educated populations and i
a large force of men who are capable
;of government. Few of the men who
compose these governments have had
any actual experience at governing
j and their populations are woefully 11-
; literate.
“They will require a generation of
actual national life in peace to de
velop free education and skill in gov-,
eminent.
“Unless these countries have a guid
ing hand and referee in their quarrels,
a court of appeals for their wrongs,
this Europe will go back to chaos.
If there Is such on institution, rep- j
resenting the public opinion of tha
world, and able to exert its authority,
they will grow fpto stability. We can
not turn buck now.
“There is anqther point'which also
needs emphasis. World treaties hith- j
erto have always been based on the
theory of a balance of power. Strong
er races have been set up to dominate
the weaker, partly with a view to :
j maintaining stability and to a greater
! degree with a view to maintaining oc- j
cupatlons and positions for the re- j
actiouuries of the world.
"The balance of power is bom of
armies and navies, aristocracies, ;
autocracies, and reactionaries general- j
ly, who can find employment and i
domination In these institutions, and
treaties founded on this basis have j
established stability after each great
war for a shorter or longer time, but ,
never more than a generation.
“America came forward with a new
idea, and we insisted upon its Injec
tion into this peace conference. We
claimed that It was possible to sot !
up such a piece of machinery with
such uuthority that the balance of
j power could Le abandoned as a relic
iof the middle ages. We compelled an
j entire construction of this treaty and
every word and line in it to bend to
this Idea.
"Outside of the League of Nations
the treaty Itself has many deficiencies. 1
It represents compromises between j
many men* and‘between many selfish j
Interests, and these very compromises j
1 and deficiencies are multiplied by the
many new nations that have entered |
; upon its signature, and the very safety
i of the treaty itself lies in a court of i
; appeal for the remedy of wrongs in
the treaty.
Benefits of the League.
“One thing Is certain. There is no
body of human beings so wise that a
treaty could be’made that would not
develop injustice and prove to have
been wropg in some particulars. As
the covenant stands today there Is a
place at which redress can be found
and through which the good-will of
the world can be enforced. The very
machinery by which the treaty is to
be executed, and scores of points yet j
to be solved, which have been referred
to the League of Nations as a method j
6f~ securing more mature judgment In i
u less heated atmosphere, justifies the J
creation of the League. ”
“To abandon the covenant now j
means that the treaty itself will col
lapsa
“U would take the exposure of but
a few documents at my hand to prove
that I bad been the most reluctant of
Americans to become Involved in this
situation In Europe. But having gonft
In with our eyes open and with a de
termination to free our Selves and the
rest of the world from the dangers
that "surrounded us, we cannot now
puli back from the Job. It is no use
l to hold a great revival and then go
away leaving a church for continued
~ services half done.
“We have succeeded In a most ex
traordinary degree in Imposing upon
i Europe the complete conviction that
’ we are absolutely disinterested. The t
consequence is that there is scarcely
, a man, woman or child who can read
In Europe that does not look t* the
United States as the ultimate source
t from which they must receive assur
, ances aud guardianship In the liberties
. which they have now secured aftek
so many generations of struggle.
> “This Is not a problem of protecting
r * the big nations, for the few thqt re
main can well look after themselves.
What we have done is to set up a
j score of little democracies, and if the
i American people could visualize their
handiwork they would insist with the
.same determination that they did in
t 1 1917 that our government proceed."
OBTAIN VARNISH-FROM TREE
China Has Source of Valuable Supply,
But Its Poisonous Quality Limits
Its Use.
Tarnish Is produced in China from
a tree commonly spoken of as the var- 1
nlsh tree, but known botanleally as ;
rhus veraicifera, which is found in J
abundance In the mountains of Hupeh,
Kweichow and Szechwan.
| The varnish Is taken from the tree
after it in about six inches in diameter
by tapping at Intervals of five |
i to seven years, until the tree is fifty or |
sixty years of age. A good-sized tree t
will yield from five to seven pounds ;
of varnish.
j The natural color of the crude var- J
nish as applied Is black. It is con- ;
slderod the most indestructible varnish '
known. Ung peculiarity is that It hard
ens only in a moist atmosphere.
* In China it is erroneously known *
among the foreign communities as |
i “Ningpo varnish," probably because j
I It first came into contact with foreign !
trade there, writes Commercial AH j
taehe Julian Arnold from Peking.
Many persons are poisoned when ;
they come Into even atmospheric con- j
tact with this varnish, which fact, uu- {
fortunately, reduces its trade possl- j
bilities enormously. As yet no meth- s
; od hus been discovered whereby this j
poisonous quqhty can be counteracted.
I
Hollow Concrete. |
According to the Bruckenbau, the
production of hollow concrete bodies
completely inclosed, which has hither
to only been possible within certain
limits, is made easier by the new pat
ent system Rohm oi Munich,
who proposes to inclose a block of ice
I of the required shape In concrete.
Of course, small openings or channels
would be left, by means of which the
thaw water could escape. In this way
i It is possible to produce not only
small concrete bodies with hollow cen- j
ters but largo ones as well. The pro
cess can be applied to artificial stone.
Perhaps Snakes Couldn't Get There
Why are there no snakes in Ire
land? The answer is: Because
snakes had their cradle elsewhere and
| couldn't cross the Irish sea. They
I originated, apparently, in Asia and
| spread easily over Europe, and got
j across in considerable numbers into
) Great Britain, by aid of a now sub
merged "land bridge," but the Irish
1 sen was tin) deep for 'that kind of !
j bridge, and so snakes and toads never
| reached the Emerald isle, and few
J reptiles of any Kind succeeded in get- ;
i ting there. It is an old saying that

Some Early American History.

some early American history. Man- j

of the government In paying their an- |
nuities. Taking advantage of the fact !
thnt the Civil war had taken so many j
men from the country, the Sioux In- i
augnrated one of the bloodiest mas
sacres In the history of Indian war- j
; fare. The Indians were ultimately i
j overcome by troops and imprisoned
in Mankato. However. President Lin

GOAT MEAT GOOD AS MUTTON
It Is Said Only Experts Are Ablß
f to Tell the Difference Bo
tween the Two.
There is a growing’ disposition to
| give the goat his due. Heretofore this
' rubbish-eating animal . has been re
! garde*! pretty much asrta joke, but he
has continued to eaU.titi Cans and
thrive until now his "race has ac
quired census-listing proportions ami
a market has been established In a
: middle-western city where surplus
! coats xvilK be converted Into “spring
1 lamb" for the benefit of our non-vege
* tartans. As no addition to the poor
man’s meat perhaps the goat will be
I welcome, especially if his,advent tends
1 to lower the present high prices^.
Goat meat much the same rs
1 mutfpn, it is claimed, ami that the dif
' ferenee cannot be tohl save by an cx-
I port. Perhaps tlsat Is Just ns well,
j Our imagination has much f* do with
i our taste. Many people are eating
! borse meat in tins country under the
j impression that it is beef, for horses
are slaughtered, but almost nowhere
; s their meat exposed for sale under
! Its true name. No doybt the easiest
: w ay for us to g<’t u>: <1 to goat meat is
>(o camouflage it as rputton. It Is an- ,
t other case of ignontnety-being Idlss.
j But. as we are assured bjj the ex- J
o'rts that it is wholwoout, n name j
| will not make much difference in the j
I Mutton, the world over, has been I
the poor man's meat. . If goat meat |
can add to the supply; so much the
Setter. The meat of goats was a •
favorite in the days of the patriarchs, j
(t is still highly prized in the East, j
There seems to he no reason why it
should not ultimately hold a respect
able place on our menus.

Statisticians Figure In Billions When j
They Make Computations of
Live Stock Business.
The live stock industry' is the larg- j
est and, in more than one sense, ;
the most Important Industry in the
United States. Its extent, measured* j
by the value of live animals, amounts
to more than $8,000,000,000. Its im
portance rests in the necessity for
live sitck to consume the products or
farms and ranges, 90 per cent of which,
according to census reports, Is fed to
live stock; in the maintenance of soil
fertility, which cannot be kqt up con- j
tenuously and economically without a
considerable number of animals as a
jvart of the farm system; in the in
dispensable place which animal food i
occupies in the American diet, of
which it makes up S 3 per cent, based ;
on the average consumer’s food-ex- j
pense account; and finally, in the far- j
reaching Influence which the growing, i
fattening and marketing of live stock j
has upon the social and economic w el- :
fare of nil classes of people, including j
producers, distributors, aud the meat
consuming public,
The slaughtering and meat pack
ing business Is the largest tunnufac
; turing industry in the United States,
j according to the United States census i
:of manufacturers. The sales of live
| stock in the Chicago market alone to
j tab il nearly $1,000,000,000 in 1013, or !
| over $9,000*000 a day, and the dally
