reInlnlSCeDU Ol the QeCldIdLlOD Ol Abraham Lincoln 78 years ago that this nation could not exist "one- half free and one-half slave.'
 Throughout the speech, Hull ap- piled Lincoln's reasoning to the present worldwide clash between conflicting political and economic ideologies and philosophies. The address carried a warning that if dictatorial, militaristic powers con- tinue their present course, disas- trous conflagration would .ensue.
 Where U. s. Stands
 Hull left no doubt that in any such contest the United States would be found strongly allied with the nations adhering to the principles and practices of democracy, peace and orderly processes of representa- tive government.
 His speech on international rela- tions and the foreign policy of the United States" was considered one of the most important pronounce ments of foreign policy he has made.
