WHY PICK on HULLl

Secretary of State Cordell Hull
has recently been made the target
for all sorts of criticism. This
seems very strange inasmuch as he
has been singled out in past years
as pillar of strength in the Presi-
dents cabinet. Apparently most of
these attacks have followed the ac-
ton by Secretary Hull and Cen
eral Eisenhower in dealings with
the French authorities in North
Africa. These two representatives
of our Government managed to
tame the Frenchmen, and effect
peace. and arrange for their mill
tary support in North Africa. Hulls
associates in the Senate say he did
a good job.
A few weeks ago when the White
Paper was issued Hull was ac-
claimed for the way he handled di-
plomatic conferences and relations
with Japan and its ambassador.
A lot of people don't agree with
Hull's trade treaties, but he es-
capes criticism on that account. Mr..
Hull has been in public life in
Washington as a Senator and a
member of the Presidents Cabinet
for a great many years, and it
seems pretty late in the day to slam
him because he was born 'moun-
taineer". That sort of talk is still
recognized as political dirt.
