LONDON, July 8. = A statement
calling upon the nations of the
world to re-unite in efforts to bring
about success for the world econ
omic conference was issued late to-
day by Cordell Hull, head of the
United States delegation.
~ am confident that the major
ity of the delegates of the 66 ma
tionS represented at the conference
heartily support the decision to
continue Secretary of State Hull
said.
He listed seven points which he
considered available for profitable
discussion, and added:
1--WE cannot pretend that We
have exhausted the resources of
craftsmanship when we have not
even specifically examined these
problems. -
His statement came after day
in which he conferred with the
leaders of several other delegations.
The text of Secretary Hull IS
statement follows:
~ gather from comments in the
newspapers that what is desired is
recital of the questions which are
capable of consideration under ex-
isting conditions.
81 would list, for example, price
levels, credit policy, individual and
external Indebtedness, producers
agreements, the innumerable pro-
hibitions and restrictions stran-
Cling mutually profitable trade
transactions, retaliations, and
countless other War-breeding trade
practices and methods.
"We cannot pretend we have ex-
hausted all the resources of states
manShip, when we have not yet
even specifically examined these
problems, all of which are listed
on the agenda.
All those who believe in inter-
national equity must rejoice in the
decision of the bureau-which Is
also the steering committee-to
have the economic conferences go
forward.
Conferred With Leaders
81 have conferred with the lead
ers of many delegations, and am
confident that a majority of the
delegates of the sc nations repre-
Sented at the conference will
heartily support that decision.
"We have assembled here from
every corner of the world, to deal
with the fundamentals of the pro-
gram contained in the agenda. We
would betray the responsibility laid
upon us were We to adjourn the
conference in the face of the first
troublesome issues which beset our
path.
1--WE all know the difficulties are
great; we have known that from
the outset. We need only to sum-
mon fresh resolution to surmount
the immediate obstacles and ap-
proach our task with deeper under
standing of our respective view
points.
Every nation will benefit if we
succeed III standing united against
the common enemy-universal &C.
onomic proStration.
mo greater opportunity could
be presented to craftsmanship than
confronts this conference. To let
this opportunity of advancing the
common good be lost because we
are unable to rise above tranSitory
complexities would greatly hamper
us and would rightly earn for Us
the condemnation of history
The Hull statement was issued af-

memorandum from President Roose-
welt, which. it was emphasized
again, constituted merely an ampli-
acation of previously expressed
ideas, and not new instructions To
the delegates.
