AMERICA'S POSITION.
"To Lead the World."
STATEMENT FROM nOOVEB,
(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyrights (Australian-N.Z. Cable Association.) Received Last Night, 11.30 o'clock. VANCOUVER, March 17. The newspapers feature letters from Mr. Hoover to President Wilson assenting to the belief that the Ameri* • cans should keep off European Commissions, except possibly the Reparations Commission. Mr. Hopver said: "If the Allies cannot be brought to adopt peace on the basis of the fourteen points, America should retire from Europe, lock, stock and barrel. We should lead the whole world in economic and moral strength, or else the world will swim in a sea of misery and disaster worse than the dark ages. If they cannot bo brought to accept a peace on which our national honour is stakes, if we must * make peace independently and retire, I am not certain that the revolution in Europe will bo ended. Our people are not prepared to undertake military policing until the fire of revolution burns itself out."
