Herbert Hoover Says Democra
cies Replaeed Autocracies
at Our Bidding.
: FOOD AD P«11N ! STRATI ON CH!EF.
i -
Urges Ratification on Ground That
Peace Treaty Will Collapse
Without League of
Nation3.
Herbert Hoover is so deeply con
cerned over the opposition to the
League of Nations in the United
States that he has let himself he in
terviewed at length on the League sit
uation. In a talk with the New York
Times correspondent in Paris, the
Food Administration Chief asserts that
having caused the League idea to pre
vail America cannot abandon it. We
cannot withdraw, he says, and leave
Europe to chaos. "To abandon the
League Covenant now meaus that the
treaty itself will collapse."
Mr. Hoover's wide acquaintance
with conditions both bere and abroad,
his reputation as an administrator, a
man 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
sions. <*■
"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
need to digest the fact that we have
for a century and a half been advo
cating democracy not only as a
remedy for the internai ills of ali so
ciety, but also 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 civllization, and
that we have proved its enormous hu
man benefits in our country.
American Ideas Have Prevailed.
"We went into the war to destroy
autocracy as a monaco to our own and
ali otlier democracies. If we had not
come into the war every inch of Euro
pean soil today wouid be under auto
cratlc government. We have imposed
our will 011 the world. Out of tliis
victory has come the destruction of
the four great autocracies in Ger- 1
many, Russia, Turkey and Austria and
the little autocracy in Greece. ì\'ew ;
democracies bave sprung into being in i
Poland, Finland, Letvla, Lithuania, j
Esthonia, Czechoslovakla, Greater
Sjerbia, Greece, Siberia, ancj even Ger- j
ipany Austria bave estàblislied '
democratic govèrnments. Beyond !
these a host of small republics, such !
as Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and ,
others, have sprung up, and again as ,
a result of this great world movement ;
the constitutions of Spain, Rumania, |
and even England, liave iliade a fiiuil :
asc-ent to complete francliise ai.d de
mocracy, although they stili maintain
a symbol of royalty.
"We have been the living spring for
this last century and half from which
these ideas iiave sprung, and we bave 1
triumphed. The world today, except
for a comparatively few reactionary
and comin autocracies, is dem
ocratic, and we did it
"A man who takes a wlfe and
blesses the world with severa! infants
cannot go away and leave them ón '
the claini that there was no legai mar- j
riage.
"These infant democracies ali have
politicai, social and economie prob
lems involving their neighbors that
are fraught with the most intense
friction. There are no naturai bound
aries in Europe. Races are not com
pact ; they blend at every border. They
need railway communication and sea
outlets througb their neighbors' terri
tory.
"Many of these states must fof the
next few year§ struggle almost for
bare bones ta maìiitain their very
existence. Every one of them is go
ing to do its best; to protect its own
interests, evento the prejut'.ice of iti
neighbors.
Governments Lack Experlence.
M \Ve in America shouid realize that
I
He Has Had His Day
/I /v •
'
democracy, as a stable forni of govcrn
ment as we know it, is possible ouly
with highly educaied populations and
a large force of men who are capalde
of go vera men t. Few of the uien who
compose these governments have luid
any actual experience at goveraing
and tlieir'populations are woefully il
literate.
"They will require a generation of
actual national life in ponce to de
velop fi'ee educa tion and skill in gov
ernili ent.
"Unless these countries have a guid
ine hand and refe ree in their quarrels,
, a court of apj ;\ils for their wrongs,
this Europe will go back to chaos.
If there is such an institution, rep
resenting the public opinion of the
worid, and able to exert its authoritv,
they will grow into stabiiity. We cun
not turn back now.
"There is another point which also
j needs emphasis. World treaties hith
» erto have always been based on the
theory of a balance of power. Strong
j er races» have heen set up to dominate
the wc'aker, partly with a view to
; maini aining stabiiity and to a greater
! degree with a.view to maintaining oc
cupati')iis and positions for the re
| actioi.arles of the world.
'■' ile balance of power is bora of
::s arul navies, aristocracies,
autocracies, and reactionaries general
. ly, w1 :o can find employment • and
; domination in these instjtutions, and
i treaties founded on this basis have
: established stabiiity after each great
: war for a short er or longer time, but
j tu-vcr more than a generation.
! "America carne forward with a new
, idea, and we inslsted upon its injec
tion into this peace conference. We
; claiined tliat it was possible to set '
i i:p such a piece of machinery with
' such authority that the balance of |
! power could he abandoned as a relic j
:of the middle ages. We compelled an
; entire constructil>n of this treaty and
I every word and line in it to bend lo
| this idea.
"Outside of the League of Nations
(he treaty itself has many defieioncies.
It represents compromises between
many men and botween many selfish
interests, and these very compromises
i.iul deficiencic aro multiplied hy tlie
manv new natfons that have entered
v">òn its signature, and the ver.v safety
of the treaty itself lies in a court of
appeal for tlie rernedy of wrongs in
the treaty.
Bonc.fits of the League.
"One tbing is certain. There is no
body of human beings so wise that a
treaty could he made r.ot
develop injustice and prove to have
been wrong in some particulars. As
the covenant stands today there is a
pince at whTch redress can be found
and through which the good-will of
ih e vvorld can be enforced i The very
machinery by which the trenti? is to
be executed, and scores of points yet
to be solved, wUicli bave been referred 1
to the League of S'ations as ametliod ;
of securing more mature judgment in
a less beat ed atmosphere, justifies the
cren tion of the L-J'tjue.
"To abatidon thè covenant now
means that tlie treaty itself will col
la pse.
"It vvould take the exposure of but
a few documenta nt ray band to prove
that I linci iu-en the most reluctant of
America ns to bocome involved in tli is
situa. i:.;: iti ; I\:t haring gone
in with our eyes open and with a de
termina tion to free ourselves and tbe
rest of the world from tbe dangers
that surrounded us, we cannot now
pulì back from the job. It is no use !
to h< -d a great revival nnd then go ,
Ówny feàving fi church for coutinued
services lialf done.
"We bave succeeded in a most ex
traordinary degree in imposing upon .
Europe tbe complete conviction that '
we are absolutely disinterestQd. The
consequenee is that there is scarceiy
n man. woman or cliild who can read
| in Europe that does not look to the
! United States as the ultimate source
i from which they must receive assur
! ances and guardinnship in the liberties
j which they have now secured after
1 many generations of struggle.
i -This is not a problem of protecting
i tue big nations, for tbe few that re
; aia in can well look after themselves.
Wl.«t we have done is to set up a
; score of little democracles, and if the !
! American people could visualize their
| bandiwork they would inslst with the
sanie determination that they did in
i lUI 7 that our government proceed."
