Hull Urges Nation
To Use Teamwork
In Foreign Policies
Election Cove Approval
To Governments Stond,
Secretary Believes

Secretary of State Hull today
called for "the fullest measure of
practical teamwork" to carry for
ward the Governments foreign pol
icies, which he said were given Ma
tion-wide approval in the election
yesterday.
Pointing out that both President
Roosevelt and the defeated Repub-
lican candidate had supported the
same basic features of foreign policy
the Secretary appealed for united
effort ''in a spirit of non-partisan-
ship and non-factionalism" to as
sure the success of measures which
he declared mean everything to the
peace and safety and welfare of the
American people"
Opposition to Aggressors.
The Secretary's statement served
to emphasize that the Government
would pursue a program OF giving all
possible aid to Great Britain and
of opposing Japan's drive for a new
order" in Asia with increasing vigor
convinced that such measures de-
signed to aid opposition to aggres-
sors in other parts OF the world are
essential to keep war away from
this hemisphere.
The text of Mr.. Hull's statement
follows:
consciousness of the tremendous
responsibility which rests upon all
of us in the present crisis should
overshadow any sense of personal
elation or disappointment over the
election result.
ut is a matter of profound sig
nificance that our foreign policies,
the basic features of which we're sup
ported by both the leading candi-
dates for President. were given yes
terday Nationwide approval.
Sees Great Contribution.
with the election over, our Nation
can now go forward with the fullest
measure of practical teamwork by
the Government and the people in
the firm continuance of those foreign
policies. This course offers the
greatest contribution our country
can make toward the restoration of
stable international relations which
are so essential to the vital interests
of this Nation and of all nations.
I'm a spirit of non-partisanship
and non-factionalism, want to ap-
peal again for united effort to carry
forward program of principles and
practical measures, the success of
which means everything to the peace
and safety and welfare of the Amer
lean people"

# Tho snonsors OF the hiIl:

This information WAS reveal

letter to Barley regarding his
failure to set a date for calling

! the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee has voted the bill out, and
the legislation is now on the

The NAACP sent the letter to
the Senate Majority Leader, fol-
lowing publication OF a reported
interview on the Anti-Lynching
bill which appeared in the New
York Hcrald-Tribune on April l.
The report of the Tribune's Wash

following version of Barkley's
reply to Il question on the bill
asked when the cCntrover-

question with laughing counter
question to his interrogation.
Pointing out that reports
coming out of Washington all
ooint 10 the fact that every eff
fort will be made to have Con-
yress adjourn without acting on
the bill, the NAACP letter,
which was signed by Walter
White, executive secretary of
The Association, said in part:
"Such articles as these are
