On the question of the treaty. how- ever, Mr. Hoover plainly indicates that he favors its ratification with reservations, and such reservations as are necesary to show that there “can be no infringement of the safe- guards provided by our Constitution andl our nation's old traditions.” Thus Mr. Hoover has given enlightenment regarding Possibly he " will later. some himself. have more to say TREATY.

In connection with the statement made by Viscount Grey, as an ex- planation regarding the stand that is being taken in this country concern- ing reservations to the treaty, the claim has been made that ‘the special representative of Great Britain was overstepping his rights and attempt- ing to influence legislation in this country. It will, however, be remembered that Viscdufit Oréy was decidedly cautions Pegarding what he had to say concething the treaty while he was hére. Whatever statements he made weps ca¥efully guarded.

Senator McLean appeared a few days ago, before the civil service committee of the senate urging the passage of his bill to give wéman workers an equal chance with men in the reclassification work now under way.

He. be- lieves there should be nc diserirhina- tion. either in pay, or in tha oppor- tunity to obtain government " posi- tions. except where sex is a physical barrier.
