Axis Offers Own Version
OF Cabinet Changes Here

By the Associated Press.
The Tokyo radio, commenting to-
day on the resignation of Secretary
Hull, quoted the newspaper Asahi
as saying relations between Hull and
President Roosevelt had long been
"estranged" and "at last hit a snag.'
The broadcast, taken as an indi-
cation of the propaganda line to be
followed by the Japanese, was re-
corded by the Federal Communica-
tions Commission.
THE real reason" for Mr.. Hull's
resignation, Asahi was quoted as
saying, must be traced to the fact
that his relations with President
Roosevelt which have not been going
smoothly for many years, have al
last hit snag, together with his
failure in international situations.
He made mess of it in the South
American policy, and especially in
the Argentine problem, and has OF
late been treated badly by Roose-
velt."
The Nazi DNB agency termed Sec
retary Hull the most furious OF
warmongers," but declared his resig-
nation docs not signify any change
in American policy"
The broadcast said this inveterate
warmonger has striven for what in
his opinion the United States of
America missed in the First World
War, i.e., Intervention in all Euro
pean and Far Eastern questions"

In the main, associates predicted
that Mr.. Stettinius would continue
the basic policies laid down by his

is the policy of non-recognition OF

of which policy Mr.. Stettinius has
been an outspoken advocate.

Protestant Leader
ASKS Christian Unity
To Fight SecuIarism
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 2S.-Dr.
Samuel McCrea Cavert, general
secretary of the Federal Council Of
the Churches of Christ in America,
asserted today that all Christians
must unite to combat what he
termed the poison" Of secularism
in modern life.
In prepared address to church
leaders representing IS denomina-
tions at the opening OF the Federal
Councils biennial meeting, DR..
Cayert said:
This is time for magnifying
the Christian faith that we hold in
common. If in other generations
we could put the emphasis on our
denominational particularisms, this
is day when it Is of supreme I'M
portance to manifest to the world
how great q unity there Is within
the Christian family"
Discussing the relations between
the Protestants and the Roman
Catholic Church, DR.. Cavert said
the Roman Catholic Church is re-
garded as one of the great historic
types of Christianity and there
fore an ally against the secularism
which presumptuously undertakes to
build civilization without any
acknowledgment of the Divine or
der or of the significance Of Jesus
Christ for the life Of mankind"
He declared that I'VE must make
clear distinction between the faith
and piety of Roman Catholics and
the political power which the Roman
Catholic hierarchy seeks to exert
for its own institutional ends.
Toward the latter" he added,
1--WE must manifest a resolute oppo-
sition. We can never acquiesce in
the clericalism which has become all
too familiar in the history of coun-
tries in which the Roman Catholic
Church has controlled the affairs Of
state. BY 'clericalism' we mean the
organized effort Of the hierarchy to
achieve political power by secular
means for purposes of social domi-
nation. Against this policy we must
take an uncompromising stand"

years. 1t is not merely that our pei
sonal relations have been so uni
formly and invariably agreeable, or
that our joint work has borne true
success in so many fields, as it Is
the personal feeling of not being

intimate interchange of thought.
This is especially true because We

f1cult conditions which still face rs.

nation as Secretary of State if YOU
want me to do so. But I wish YOU
would, as an alternative, allow me
to accept it as of January Goth,
which is the end of our third term
Perhaps sentiment enters into this
suggestion little bit, but it would
give me great satisfaction if we
should round out the three terms.
That means two months more. and
during that time could see YOU
from time to time and get your
advice on some of the things that
will come before us.
incidentally, when the organiza-
ton of the United Nations is set up.
I shall continue to pray that you as
the father of the United Nations
may preside over its first session.
That has nothing to do with whether
you are Secretary of State or not at
the time, but should go to you as
the one person in all the world who
has done the most to make this
great plan for peace an effective
fact. In SO many different ways
you have contributed to friendly re-
lations among nations that even
though you may not remain in a
position of executive administration
you will continue to help the world
with your moral guidance.
With my affectionate regards,
AS ever yours,
! FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

Many men in American history
have gained high distinction in the
fields of business or government
under the spur of poverty. Edward
r. Stettinius, jr., named by Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday as the
veteran Cordell Hull's successor as
Secretary Of State, has achieved
success in both realms despite his
start in life as the son of j. p
Morgan partner and the heir to q
large fortune.
Whether the statement is taken as
paradox or in levity, the fact re-
mains that the 44-year- Chi
cagoan who was chairman Of the
board of United States Steel al
the age of SO, has swung wide of the
Horatio Alger, jr, pattern OF
biography. When he is sworn into
office following expected Senate
confirmation he will become the
youngest Secretary of State in his

cabinet in 1894.

From Mr.. Hull.
My Dear Mr.. President:
1t is with inexpressible disappoint-
ment that I find it necessary. for
considerations of health, to retire
from public service.
I, therefore, with utmost regret,
tender herewith my resignation as
Secretary of State.
1t is matter of special satisfac-
tion to me that throughout my al
most II years at the Department of
State. our personal relations have
been uniformly and invariably agree
able and that, by our joint efforts,
many difficult tasks growing out of
the foreign relations of this country
before and during this war have
been brought to partial or full COM
pletion; many great questions have
been faced successfully; and many
forward movements of SURPRISING
importance to friendly relations
among nations have been insti-
tuted.
As the war draws to a close, there
remains vast area of complex and
difncult conditions and problems
which must be dealt with in the
months and. years Immediately
ahead.
1t is a supreme tragedy to me
personally that I am unable to
continue making my full contribu-
ton to such great international un-
dertakings as the creation of the
postwar peace organization, the
solution of the many other problems
involved in the promotion Of inter
national cooperation, and the final
development of a full and complete
structure of world order under
law.
When I recover my strength,
shall individually be always at your
service in every possible way.
Sincerely yours,
CORDELL HULL.
