AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CAULK ASSOCIATION, AIR HOoVEICS VIEWS. (Received Dim day at It). 10 a.in.) NEW YORK, April 11. Mr Hoover added that the reference of a grave question by a statemen to such a Court would lie a great relief to him, saving him from heated political opinions in his own nation during direct. negotiations. The Court is a sound and sure step, the minimum possible step in eliminating the causes of war. The Court does not lead United States into foreign entanglements, and we do not subscribe to any compulsion, since no nation iim summon us into that Com l wittniu our consent. The connect icn ol the Court with 11 ic League is remote. Mr Hoover expressed his ailniiivtiou for Air Borah’s request that teeth Lie put into the Court, bill said that foi n a seals familiar to all America was not vet ready to go thus far. War i- too terrible to warrant any of u.s to be condemned as idealists, if we can but build even a little to the road to peace.
