HULL OUTLINES
FOREIGN POLICY
Continued from Page One

that before this enough of Italy
would have been freed so that we
might have had at least a prelim-
mary expression" of the will of
the Italian people on their gov
eminent.
3. Neutral nations-the United
States and its allies are insistent-
ly asking these nations "to cease
aiding our enemy" The neutrals
ne longer need fear that Germany
will win the war and are there
fore no longer faced with the need
to compromise between Germany
and the Allies. Hull mentioned no
nation specifically but left no doubt
that he had reference to every neu-
trail on the rim of Europe-SWeden,
Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Tur-
key-when he declared that we
can no longer acquiesce in these
nations drawing upon the resource
es of the Allied world when they
at the same time contribute to the
death of troops whose sacrifice
contributes to their salvation as
well as ours"
4. Milltary-Allied strength has
now grown to the point where we
are on the verge of great events.
We await their development with
absolute confidence.
5. Allies-Cooperation among Bri-
tain, Russia, China and the United
States is solid framework upon
which all future policy and inter-
national organization must be
built" Hull made a plea for toll
erance and understanding of 1.-The
other fellows point of view and
asserted emphatically that for
these powers to become dividend
in their aims and fail to recognize
and harmonic their basic inter-
ests can produce only disaster and
no machinery as such can produce
this essential harmony and unity. -
6. The Enemy-The Secretary de-
clared that there can be no COM
promise with Fascism and Nazi-
ism. 1t must go everywhere. He
added that enemy leaders can ex-
pect mo negotiated peace, no COM
promise, no opportunity to return. :"
7. Postwar Plans-The European
advisory commission in London is
now at work upon the treatment
of Germany" and will propose
to the Allied governments plans
for concrete action. Meanwhile, the
basis of American policy is sound
ly established after two years of
intensive study, "the direction is
clear and the general methods OF
accomplishment are emerging. )"
But this method will be useless
unless it has the unified support
of the people at home and accept
ability to cooperating nations
abroad.
In addition to these secretary
touched upon many other matters.
He emphasized his belief that
along with political arrangements
for postwar security must go econ
omic arrangements to give men
and women everywhere an oppor-
tunity to improve their material
conditions.
He restated his belief that the
more than 80 boundary questions
in Europe can not be effectively
settled while the war is still on.
This does not mean that certain
questions may not and should not
in the meantime be settled by
friendly conference and agree
ment,' Hull said. 1--WE are at all
times ready to further an under
standing and settlement of ques-
tions that may arise between our
allies as is exemplified by our Of
fer to be of such service to Po-
land and the Soviet Union. Our Of
fer is still OPEN

IN ITALY

WITH THE FIFTH ARMY IN
ITALY, April 9-lR-Thousands Of
American soldiers knelt in fox
holes within 400 yards of German
infantry in a spectacular Easter
service today that was broadcast
to the Nazi troops as well as the
doughboys by three American
chaplains.
Not single shell fell in the
immediate sector during the near
ly two hours of the Protestant and
Catholic service that began short
ly after sunrise.
The April sun, partially hazed
by mist, spread warmth along the
olive clad ridges of the Garigliano
sector where American troops are
fighting.
Speaking directly to his troops,
the regimental commander said:
81 wish you happy, blessed Eas'
ter and God speed and good for
tune on your greatest mission
to make the world safe for Chris
tianity."
The service was held on what
is known as '1Iill ALL" In the
valley below dense clouds of va
por arose from Allied smudge'
pots which were kept smoking
day and night. Higher up on the
crest alert doughboys crouched-
waiting for the attack that might
have come, but didn't.

make a jailbird out OF him, whether
he earns it or not! You've got to
take the kid away. Mary! You've
got to take the money send you
and give him a decent chance -

let him get fresh start. You've
got to tell him that, Mary, do

Even the kids on Bleek Street.
playing in the wan circles of lamp
light, had stopped to listen; but
all they'd heard after that was
the sound of Mary Monohan's
sobbing, hushed and bereft in the
hot night air. :.
The subway train ground to a
halt. Slim peered out. Hundred
and-twenty fifth Street. And the
old man sitting next to him was
still doing. his head jogging now
with the starting motion of the
train. Slim took up the story of
the Monohan kid. Twenty-six
raids over Germany. Six enemy
planes to his credit. Ever scared?
Sure, sometimes.
For two columns, the interview
went on. But it was the last few
lines that hit Slim, that made the
paper drop from his hands - his
gnarled, work-calloused hands.
1t was the last few lines when
they asked the kid how it felt to
be hero. And the kid said:
MY fathers the hero. I'm not.
That guy has been fighting for
twenty years - and I've only
fought for one. He's been fighting
to give me the kind of chance he
never had. Wouldn't come near
Nom and me for fourteen years
for fear his record would hurt US.
But he still sends Nom money
every week. l wish you'd print
this, and let him know I'm proud
of the name Monohan. He had to
change his name to get a decent
Job - and he never let us know
his address. But maybe if he sees
this, he'll get in touch with Nom
and me. I'll be home on two
weeks furlough."
The old man seated beside Slim
still dozed. Slim nudged him, and
he awoke with jerk. Slim picked
up his paper and pointed to the
kids picture. For a moment he
was unable to speak. For it had
been 50 long. so very long, since
he'd been able to say the words:
See this kid" he told the old
man, hes mine!
The first thing he would do after
he saw the kid would be to 60 to
court and change his name back.
He could be proud of the name
Mike Monohan once more. He'd
never been proud of the name Slim
Jackson. The End

patrol-wagon doors had slammed

Monohan's Homecoming, six
years later. was another scene
printed on Slim Jackson's men,
DRY. Nobody had recognized Mike
when he came walking down Bleek
Street. Maybe that's why he'd
walked square into something he'd
been better off never to have seen.
MIKE JUNIOR was playing on the
doorstoop with gang of neigh
borhood kids, and one of the kids,
missing a ball. had accused him of
stealing it - shaking the Mono
han kid and shaping him and
yelling, Give it back, va thief.
Give it back, Monohan! Yer no
better than yer Oh man that's
dom timer
Slim remembered the hot wrath
with which M6nohan had scat
tered that gang Of hoodlums. He'd
seemed angry at his own kid, even.
He'd said: What do va fool
around with buns like this for?"
His fists had clenched, and then
suddenly he'd stood still, looking
up and down Bleek Street at the
squalor. and the ragamuffins that
were Bleek Streets best. His fists
had opened and his hands had
dropped Imply to his sides.
Monohan had never spoken to
the Bleek Street gang after he
came home. They'd seen him COM
ing out of the place with his paper
folded back to the Help Wanted"
section, and they'd seen him com
ing home looking grimmer and
grayer every day.
After three months of it, Mono
han had taken a job delivering
groceries in Joe Poletti's place.
And that was when he'd had that
final row with his wife.
SLIM would never forget that
row. 1t was doubtful if anyone on
Bleek Street would forget it. Not
that a family row was out OF the
usual in that neighborhood, but
the Monohan row concerned every
one on Bleek Street. For it was
about Bleek Street. 1t took place
on a sultry August night, when all
the windows on the block gaped
open - hopeful of cleaning some
stray breeze from the dead air.
Monohan wanted his wife to
move and take the kid away:
change the kids name and live in
the country.
She couldn't see it that way,
and Monohan had blasted at her,
The kid won't amount to a damn
not in this neighborhood he
won't! 'Monohan's kid - that's
what he gets. Jailbird's kid! Play

TUE girl made her way from the train
Il through the station. jostled by people
hurrying to work. Rain was falling dismally.
When she'd left New York the day before,
the sun had been shining; the thing she'd set
herself to do didn't seem too utterly mad.
Now, in Herronsburg, in the drab chill of
rainy morning, misgiving assailed her.
She stopped at phone booth and opened
the directory at the ''B's." From her bag she
took newspaper notice and held it against
the page for reference - quite unnecessarily:
for she could have repeated from memory
