Ofteh, using the same psychology. as a race fan who bets on all the horses, nations had secret pacts committing them to help oppos ing sides in possible outbreaks. Py Hull extended the hope in his speech before congress yesterday that eventually the maze can be cleared:away . for good, although doubtless long and tremendous effort would be required to: change a habit of many centuries. = The gray-haired Secretary told assembled senators and, represen tatives that there will no longer be need for . , . alliances” as the principles proclaimed by America, Russia, Britain and China are put into effect.
