...when that will be-when his trade agreement program is safely in harbor. Solemnly all Washington admits that if Mr. Hull today were to be given his choice of the Presidency or the success of his program, he would unhesitatingly choose the latter. No higher tribute could be paid a U. S. politician in an election year. That No. 1 appraiser of U. S. selfishness, Post master General James A. Farley, once said: ". . .

By the one stroke of sanctioning a Nazi war and by the later strokes of becoming a partner of Adolf Hitler in aggression, Joseph Stalin threw out of the window Soviet Russia's meticulously fostered reputation of a peace-loving, treaty-abiding nation. By the ruthless attack on Finland, he not only sacrificed the good will of thousands of people the world over sympathetic to the ideals of Socialism, he matched himself...
