Hull Seen as

on US. Policy

US, Britain

Washington. Aug. 51-lNS-Dip-
lomatic observers in Washington
today believe Secretary OF State
Cordell Hull is shifting to a more
cautious. conservative attitude in
the conduct OF American foreign
policy. especially in respect to post
war problems.
This move is believed to be IN
line with trend toward the right
in Administration policy generally.
Some authoritative observers think
this shift to the right and away
from radical New Deal ideas is be-
ing prompted by thoughts OF the
1914 presidential campaign and re-
Elections on the poor showing made
by the Democratic party in the last
congressional elections.
In the field OF foreign affairs. the
diplomatic observers see the move
taking the form OF a more coldtN
realistic attitude based on recogni-
ton OF the sad fact that IL may not
be possible 10 achieve quickly the
harmonious cooperation between al
the major Allied powers which is
considered necessary for establish
ment OF a better world order after
the war.
In view OF this uncertainty con-
corning the future, there is be
lieved to be a tendency developing
to concentrate on strengthening An
glo-American relations so that the
English-speaking nations L: least
can serve as foundation stone on
which mankind can eventually
build a better world.
This trend toward the right is
considered by the diplomatic OBJ
