By the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull believes
that readiness to use force is the
foundation of peace. @
Expounding the basic principles
of American foreign policy in a
broadcast last night, he asserted
that one of the war aims of the
United States is to achieve an IRON
clad peace for the postwar world
backed by nations ready to use force
to maintain 1t.
Readiness to use force, if nee
essary, for the maintenance of
peace is indispensable" he said, 'if
effective substitutes for war are to
be found" III
Apparently referring to the flood
of discussion on postwar problems
likely to follow the reconvening Of
Congress tomorrow, Mr.. Hull ap-
pealed for nonpartisan approach to
the vital questions of postwar Or
ganization.
"tHnUIuS DetdllS.
Beyond suggesting that court of
international justice should form
part Of the postwar system to ban
ish the 'monstrous spectre" of an
other world war, however, he did
not disclose the details of the peace
time organization toward which the
United States is aiming.
The form and functions of the
international agencies of the future,
he said, are among the problems
which "are receiving attention and
which will need to be determined
by agreement among governments,
subject, of course, to approval by
they respective peoples"
AS if in further denial of allie
cations that there is an anti
Soviet" trend in the State Depart
ment. Mr.. Hull paid tribute to Rus
sia's contribution toward victory
and, speaking slowly and giving
weight to each word, added:
"It is out desire and our settled
policy that collaboration and CO.
operation between our two countries
shall steadily increase during and
following the war"
Reiterates Assurances.
He also reiterated the assurance
he has given on previous occasions
that the United States will not let
little nations down, and that the
liberty enjoyed by all Western
Hemisphere nations under the
good neighbor policy is the same
liberty Americans believe should be
established throughout the earth.
The needs of the nations of the
world after the war is over, he said,
will include security for all and a
better chance for each nation to
develop and progress in ways of it's
own choosing toward political
stability and economic, social and
cultural welfare. He drew no dis
tinction here between nations now
fighting on the two sides of the
war.
In addition to his tribute to
Russia. Mr.. Hull praised the con-
tributions of the Chinese, the
French, 'invincible Britain" and our
other allies of the United Nations
in waging the war. He said the war
now is characterized BY "heartening
victories" in contrast to the last
time he spoke to the Nation over the
air in July, 1912. -
with all but one of the nations
Of the western Hemisphere" said
Mr.. Hull, in an apparent reference
to Argentina, 1--WE have today the
closest ties of solidarity and associa-
tion-the fruit of 10 years of un-
renting labor on the part of all
these nations to build in this hemi-
sphere a fraternity of good neigh
bors. -
Here we have, in peace and in
war, a highly successful example of
cooperation between sovereign ma
tons"
Mr.. Hull said that the victories of
the United Nations have been the
direct result of closely co-ordinated
military, economic and diplomatic
action--"both within each of the
nations and among all of them"
For example, he said, "our pro-
traeted diplomatic effort to achieve
q fair and peaceful solution of diff
culties in the Far East afforded our
military authorizes and those of
other countries many months of
precious time" to strengthen their
defense before the Japanese struck.
Lists Elements.
Mr.. Hull said that traditional ele-
ments of American political thought
could be applied internationally.
He listed them as follows:
Cd All peoples capable of dis
charging the responsibilities of lib
erty are entitled to it.
CD Each sovereign nation, large
and small, is in law and under law
the equal of every other nation.
(3O All nations which respect the
rights of others are entitled to free
dom from outside interference in
their internal affairs.
"a The basis of order among ma
tions is willingness to accept in
ternational law to settle interna-
tional disputes.
(5) Non discrimination in eco
nomic opportunity and treatment is
essential to the maintenance and
promotion of sound international
relations.
(6) Cooperation between nations
In the spirit of good neighbors,
founded on the principles of liberty,
equality, justice, morality and law
Is the most effective method of safe
guarding and promoting the we'll
being Of all.
Must Agree to Use Force.
Vigorous participation in efforts
TO establish system of interna-
tional relations based On these rules
of conduct, and thus to create con-
ditions in which war may be eff
fectively banished is and must be
a fundamental feature of our for
eign policy" Mr.. Hull asserted.
