1 I BOOK REVIEWS The Road 10 War J94J THE MEMOIRS OF CORDELL HULL. Two Volumes. The Macmillan Company. 1804 Pages; Index. Cordell Hull's massive memoirs cover the period from his birth in a rented log cabin in Overton County, Tennessee, in 1871 to his resignation from the cabinet on November 30, 1944. After a distinguished career as a Democratic Party leader, judge, congressman, and senator, Hull was chosen as Secretary of State in the first cabinet of Franklin D. Roosevelt. He held that office for nearly twelve years, almost twice as long as any other man in American history. Hull carne from a.stalwart and forthright family. During the Civil War his father was shot through the head and left for dead by a "Yankee guerrilla" named Stepp. After a recovery which seems miraculous, his father tracked down Stepp after the war and shot him down without a Word. Cordell Hull was something of a fighter himself; he led an infantry company in the 4th Tennessee Volunteers during the Spanish American \-Var. Although the Constitution provides that the foreign policy of the United States is formulated by the President and the Senate, Hull made his views on the function of the Secretary. of State clear to Mr. ~OOsevelt before accepting office. He said: If I accept the Secretaryship of State, I do not have in mind merely carrying on COrrespondence with foreign governments. What I have in mind was that it would be ~y duty to aid the President in every pos- SIble way in the conduct of foreign policy. ... I would foresee and appraise to the ~nest possible extent questions and prob- "'II1S arising ... and would formulate my OWn ideas of policy .... I would then recommend such policy to the President for his approval or disapproval and suggest necessarv action. The President himlf would, .of course, suggest a policy on a given situation :l~ any time ... and I would develop all facts in relation to it and then, if he approved, carry it out through the State Department." These suggestions were accepted by the President, and in twelve years there was no serious misunderstanding between the two men. Like Stimson, Hull thought that Roosevelt was a great commander in chief and war President. Like Stimson, he also had difficulty in adjusting himself to the President's domestic and economic policies. He probably agreed with Stimson that Roosevelt was not a good administrator. His experience with Raymond Moley at the London Economic Conference in 1933 made this clear. Hull did not favor the President's practice of sending a number of distinguished Americans abroad as his personal representatives because it undermined the prestige of our ambassadors. Not only that, Hull thought it was a waste of time and energy. Once in a while the President listened to outsiders like Morgenthau on foreign policy matters, but Hull observed that these diversions wen~ rare and generally carne to nothing. Hull's place in history will be the more secure because Roosevelt did not seek out or act upon his advice on foreign policy matters con- nected with the Teheran and Yalta Conferences. The President considered these conferences as being primarily "military" in character. There was a tide ~f aggression running in the world when Hull took office in 1933. The Nazis won an election that consolidated their hold on Germany and the Japanese occupied the capital of Jehol on the day he was sworn in. Hull admits that when he took office he had a strong conviction that Germany and Italy would plunge Europe into war and that "Japan had no intentions whatever of abiding by treaties." Since the European dictators were not ready, Hull was first concerned with the Japanese conquest of Northern China. He saw through the ab- surd plea that the United States should appease Japan and thus strengthen the liberals in order to prevent the military group from gaining complete control of the Japanese government. This plea was raised at each new Japanese aggression and it has recently been revived by a school of writers who are trying to convince the American people that the war was unnecessary and brought about solely by our own action! Hull never favored neutrality as between right and wrong. He believed that a breach of the peace by an aggressor anywhere in the world affected American security. We should therefore impede the aggressors to safeguard our own peace. Under existing neutrality laws and the arms embargo, American neutrality was a boon to the aggressors. He tried hard in 1939 to convince certain isolationists that war was corning in Europe, but one of them, the venerable Senator Borah, declared that he had information superior to that of the State Department. \Vhen Hull invited Borah to visit the State Department and read the documents bearing on the European situation, the Senator declined. To Hull's way of thinking the world was not faced with a threat of regional war or an isolated conflict but "with an organized, ruthless, and implacable movement of steadily coxpanding conquest." \Ve could have peace and isolation for a time but only at the cost of total surrender. \Ve find some interesting footnotes to history in these volumes. Apparently Hull was the real author of the 50,000-planesa-year program announced by Presiden: Roosevelt on May 16, 1940, for in May 1940 he urged the President to announce such a program. Like Hull's associates with whom he had previously discussed this program, Roosevelt was "speechless" at the size of the effort but immediately made the project his own. Hull said that throughout the period of crisis and war he was more confident about our productive capacity
