Hull issued his statement be
cause, he said, there has been a
growing interest in American for
eign policy, as evidenced by in
creasing requests for information.
'1n determining our foreign poll
cy," the Secretary declared in his
first point, 1--WE must first see
clearly what our true national in
terests are.
"At the present time, the para
mount aim of our foreign policy is
to defeat our enemies as quickly
as possible.
.'Beyond final victory, our fun
damental national interests are the
assuring of our national security
and the fostering Of the economic
and social well being Of our peo-
pie"
One point Hull devoted toea dis
cussion of the Atlantic Charter, de-
claring that while it assures every
nation regardless of size a greater
opportunity to live in prosperity
and freedom it also implies an
obligation for each nation to dem
onstrate its capacity for sound gov
eminent and peaceful relations.
This reaffirmation of support for
the Atlantic Charter, while it ap-
peared as only one of the II paints,
shaped up as reply to those crit
les who have recently questioned
the practicability of applying the
charter to postwar international
settlements.
Publication of the points at this
time was in itself regarded as a
response by the Secretary to those
who have contended that the Unit
ed States actually has no definite
foreign policy. Haul told his press
conference earlier in the day of
the growing interest in foreign poll
cy questions and said he was graft
fled to notice it. He declared that
the department would issue sum-
mary of the main points based on
his speeches as a convenience to
the public in discussing such ques-
tons.
The substance of the points,
therefore, was not new but the
form of their publication at this
time was unprecedented.
