 He believes he sees faint stirrings of this outrat ,nscience and aims at directing it, so far as is D be by governmental policy and action, toward fective expression comments Harold B. Hint rashington correspondent writing in the New Y ines Giving further insight to Secretary Hu 2sition, MT Hinton points out
 He realizes the difficulty of providing an outlet for public opinion in the totalitarian countries But even in Germany, Italy and Japan in his view the bulk of the people can and will make their desires for peace felt in high government circles, if only they can be led to understand that peace is possible and that the other countries of the world are pre- pared to work actively for it.
 MT Hull has private white list" of thirty five countries which he would like to see aligned sody behind the idea of preserving peace by honorable means At times he is discouraged at the lack of unity and cross purposes which seem to divide the ranks of this peace battalion. But he still hopes and believes that these nations can achieve unit ed front to which all other countries would be invited and urged to adhere, for treaty ob- servance and pacific means of settling dis putes
 The Secretary of State has been careful not to say that this country will or will not fight under sufficient provocaton. He is convinced that there is no reason for fighting and hopes that there never will be. But he has fresh enough recollections of his early life in a coun- try town to recall that the village bully is not put in his place by the firm knowledge that no one is going to call his bluff
 The international bully, MT. Hull is con- vinced, will only be encouraged by such aS- surances
 In democracies popular opinion is already behind the principles MT. Hull advocates, he things, and only their leaders prevent the countries from making common cause in favor of peace. He expects the recent spread of in- ternationa awlessness to convince these de- mocratic rulers that they must get together on a policy looking to peace as a positive and precious thing.
 Economic restoration must be the central pillar of any peace edifice, as the Secretary of State sees the problem As material wei fare spreads through the peaceful part of the world the inhabitants of the martial nations would be forced to the conclusion that war is not as attractive method of attaining pros perty as their leaders had held it out to be- In the meantime, the thirty-five standard bearers must hold together in insisting, in a firm but friendly manner, that Japan, Ger many Italy and other potential treaty breakers are expected to live up to their ob- gationS as well as any one else
 There is no reason to believe, from MT Hull's present attitude that he would hesi- tate to ask Congress for such authority if the need arose or that he would be unwilling to abide by the referendum the ensuing debates would provide It is evident he does not con- slider the Administrations hands are tied be- fore the Brussels gathering holds it's first session.
 The American program, which MT. Roose- welt apparently would like to make a little more positive than his Secretary of State con- ceives it to be, but on which there Is no basic agreement, is not blind support of the status quo MT Hull is quite prepared to see change in the world provided it is peaceful change. He has not lost heart over the economic fun damentals which are thought to be the bases of current unrest
 Almost twenty years ago he delivered an outstanding speech in the House of Repre- sentatives dealing with equality of opportun- ity in the former German colonies as an all ternative to restoring them to German poltl- cal sovereignty. The ideas he advanced ln that address sound even more applicable to the present situation than they were to the conditions which prevailed as he spoke.
 He hopes that the collective good sense of the world will see to it, before it is too late, that injustces are rectified and inequalities of opportunity smoothed out
 As start on this course the world must set it's face toward peaceful and honorable rela- tions among it's nations. Countries must as- sume uncompromising responsibility for ther obligations. Firing brothers must be exhorted and encouraged back to the path Of rectltude War is ended in Paraguay" says news dispaa
