Mr. Hoover agreed to give his views in a speech to be delivered at Stanford Uni versity, Palo Alto, Cal. In the speech which was delivered last night, Mr. Hoover said: "The Treatv is by no means perfect. I see no method by which it could have been made perfect. When 500 men, representing 23 different nationali ties, were angeged in its negotiation |and agreement had to be unanimous, 'difference in national character and in national aspirations could but cause difference in viewß. Many of them represented desperate, pas sionnte or sefish objects, some were dominated by poitical ideals of the last century, yet most were actu ated by the prayers of the common people who really fought this war, that it should be the last war. "The men of vision at the confer ence were steadfast for certain dom inant ideals that mark this confer ence apart from all others. First, that this settlement should remove as many of the immediate causes of war as possible by destroy ing enemy domination over other races. Second, by establishing the new Governments on a democratic basis so that wars should not be made by autocracies for the profit of their class; third, that there shoud be established a World Council The League."
