Show Hoover Raps Failure of League of Nations KINGSTON. N. Y.. April 10. Failure Fail-ure of the United States to Join a league of nations that would lesson the dangers of future wars, Is like "silently watching Rome burn." Herbert Her-bert Hoover declared in an address here at a dinner of the social service commission of the New York Methodist Meth-odist Episcopal conference. He said there is an "ideal in a league of nations" na-tions" fitting to American character and American civilization: "Not an ideal that wo should prevent pre-vent war by arms," he added, "but an ideal that It could be prevented by negotiation, by arbitration and tho ventilation of public opinion of the world. The ideal is not dead in the hearts of tho American people." j |
