The President's News Conference

May 06, 1930

LONDON NAVAL TREATY

THE PRESIDENT. I have one question this morning that I can reply to, but in the nature of things it must be background matter. It is as to whether I would care to say whether the ratification of the London treaty is a partisan matter or not. It certainly is not--broad foreign policies of the Nation and not partisan policies. When our delegation went to London they went as Americans and not as members of a political party, and there is no partisanship whatever in this treaty.

That is all I have got.

Note: President Hoover's one hundred and ninth news conference was held in the White House at 12 noon on Tuesday, May 6, 1930.
