HULL HUGE ASSET 10 THEPRESIDENT Had Some Terrific Snubs at Roosevelt’s Hands At Outset, However By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Oct. 14—Secretary of State Cordell Hull is the most valu able single Rooseveltian asset in the pending presidential fight. The irony of the situation is that the President evidently rated Hull rather cheaply at first except for de corative purposes. Clearly he recog nized that the Tennesseean would look well, as a real statesman, at the head of his cabinet. Otherwise he would not have appointed him. But that the President was very little in sympathy with his appoin tee’s economic philosophy became ob vious speedily. HULL’S DOCTRINE I knew Cordell Hull pretty well, as a representative and then as a sena tor. I knew him to he a firm believer in the doctrine that American pros perity is dependent upon world pros perity. He stood consistently for the breaking down of international trade barrier^ —unintelligent) tariffs and monetary exchanges inequalities. When it was announced that he (was /to have the secretaryship of State, I took it for granted that this 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY STIFF NEW DEMAND SENT JO !

London, Oct. 14.(AP) —High Soviet Russian diplomats, pressing a stiff new demand for action to isolate the Spanish war, went into consultation today with officials of the British foreign office. Soviet Ambassador Ivan M. Maisky and M. Kagan, Russian member of International Non-Intervention Com mittee descended on the foreign of fice just after the new note had been submitted to Lord Plymouth, chair man of the neutrality group. Some groups described the Soviet communication as a virtual ultima tarn.. Ambassador Maisky, it was under stood, asked that a full meeting of the committee be called at the earliest possible moment to consider the new document, which was understood to have advanced concrete proposals to balk violation of the non-intervention accord in the future. The Soviet demand was the second in a week. Informed sources, who declared de tails of the messages were not dis closed, asserted the note ended in the ominous oi note of “ —or else.” Philippine Death List Still Rising Belated Reports Bring List to 408; Fear 600 Missing Dead in Typhoon Manila, Oct. 14.—(AP)—The death list of the Philippine most disastrous typhoon jumped to 408 today. Little hope was held for 600 others reported missing. Belated reports from the San Nar cisco district of Zambales province, southwest of Manila, said 150 miners were trapped and drowned iby a wall of water, which swept down on them as they were crossing a river. Ten were drowned at Magalang in adjoining ampanga province, where their boat capsized. Other scattered deaths were reported. Famine faced the survivors of last week’s three day typhoon, particularly in districts where relief agencies have been halted by floods.

Plainly so did the then Senator Hull. A day or two before Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inauguration the sena tor gave out to the press a statement, forecasting, exactly as I would have expected him to do, an international program of the sort I have suggest ed. POLICY REPUDIATED AT FIRST A couple of days later the incom ing President Roosevelt made his in augural address. In effect he said that international co-operation is all right, but that he was in favor of “putting first things first” —American prosperity ahead of the prosperity of the remainder of the world. This is o. k.„ of course—a sentiment that every American must indorse. Nevertheless, it was an utterance which just after the Hull statement, appeared to be a complete repudia- Continued on Page Two.)
