Washington Digest;
Hull Realized the Gravity
Of Post-War Readjustment
By BAUKHAGE
News Analyst and Commentator.
WASHINGTON.—“I wish,” he said, “I wish I could burn this
into your minds and memories for the next 50 years at least—
that the human race this hour, this day, this week, this year is
confronted with the gravest crisis in all its experience, and that
we who are here on the scene of action, at this critical time, have
the responsibility of saying what way the world is going for 50
years to come.”
Those words I recorded in 1945 as the war in Europe was drawing
to its close. They were spoken by a man now retired from public life who
is living to see their significance growing each day—Cordell Hull who
on October 2 reached his 77th year.
He spoke that sentence at an
the record press conference in his
BAUKHAGE
Secretary Hull retire; peace come in
Europe; the United Nations found¬
ed and then, all unexpectedly, the
new and terrible force released
which brought the sudden cessation
of hostilities in the Far East.
We saw, too, (few of us realized
it) a tiny cloud no bigger than a
man’s hand, take shape on the hori¬
zon of world relations.
Cordell Hull realized the ne¬
cessity of maintaining friendly
relations between the United
States and Russia. Against the
advice of his physicians and the
wishes of the wife to whom he
was devoted, he flew to Moscow
to talk to the one man upon
whom the future of world peace
then seemed to depend.
I had the great privilege of talk¬
ing with Secretary Hull on the eve
of his departure for Moscow. When
I was shown into his office he was
sitting at the great desk in the
room from whose windows have
looked so many of the great states¬
men who have been America’s
spokesman to the world.
The affic-e of the secretary of
state has been removed from the
ancient rococo building next to the
White House which, with its high
ceilings, its gloomy marble cor¬
ridors, wide stairways and its fire¬
places, which was filled with a cer¬
tain odor of sanctity, slightly tinged
with a touch of obsolenscence which
spoke of days and eras that were
gone forever.
Today, the offices of the men who
direct our foreign affairs are housed
in an ultra-modern building, air¬
cooled, brisk, almost modernistic
in its design. But I can imagine that
History, as she solemnly records
each day’s agenda of 1948, must
smile a bit ironically when she
notes the similarity of today’s rec¬
ord and that which was the chief
concern of Cordell Hull.
When he rose to greet me on
the occasion of my earlier in¬
terview with the courtesy which
was a natural characteristic and
one not acquired by acquaint¬
anceship with the masters of
diplomatic protocol,his desk was
covered with papers. He indicat¬
ed them with a gesture and ex¬
plained that they all dealt with
his forthcoming mission to Mos¬
cow.
We talked for a long time and the
viewpoint he expressed then con¬
cerning our policy toward Russia
remained unchanged on his return.
Russia’s Background
Forms Her Attitude
I saw him again with a small
group after his return and he re¬
minded us that Russia’s attitude
must be considered against her
background, that she was a nation
which had been virtually locked up
for 25 years and during all that time
had heard nothing but epithets
against her, that she had cultivated
the habit of slapping back twice as
hard whenever she heard anything
she thought was criticism against
her.
Thus, a defense psychology was
built up, a suspicious attitude toward
the whole world, which made the
Soviet psychology entirely differ¬
ent from ours. Each had much to
learn from the other, both must im¬
prove, and that, Hull said, would
take time.
He felt very much the same way
when he concluded his memoirs this
year and offered this advice.
“In dealing with the Soviet
Union we must never waver in
this determination or give any
evidence of weakness, or cease
to insist that, although she is en¬
titled to freedom from inter¬
vention in her domestic affairs
by any other nation, her govern¬
ment has no right to force com¬
munism on other nations or to
intervene in their domestic af¬
fairs in any other way.”
office in the old
State, War and
Navy building and
the fire of convic¬
tion in his voice
created such an
impression that we
asked him to let
us quote him di¬
rectly that one sen¬
tence. For that
reason I have been
able to reproduce
it literally.
Since that day
in 1945 we have
seen President
Roosevelt die and
CLEVELAND COURIER
As Cordell Hull looked back on
his long period of public service the
last years of which covered the
most trying times up to then that
our nation has faced, he came to
the conclusion which more and
more of our great leaders are reach¬
ing today and he said:
“We have a desperate need for
more religion and morality as the
background for government. The
religious and moral foundations for
thought and conduct require
strengthening here as well as
throughout the world. There is no
higher civilizing influence than re¬
ligious and moral concepts. Corrup¬
tion and tyranny can be driven out
of government only when these con¬
cepts give men the faculty to rec¬
ognize such evils and the strength
to eliminate them.”
If the political pendulum swings
at the next election as is likely, and
the logical appointee for the office
of secretary of state is named, it
will be John Foster Dulles. It will be
a satisfaction to many to know that
he shares the views of Mr. Hull in
so far as they both recognize the
importance of the influence of re¬
ligion in the carrying out of our re¬
lations, domestic as well as inter¬
national.
For those who, as Cordell Hull said,
"are here on the scene of action at this
critical time," this fact is vital, since tee
have the responsibility of saying "what
way the world is going for 50 years to
come.”

Charles E. Hughes —
Two-Career Man
To mention the office of secre¬
tary of state naturally brings forth
memories of another great states¬
man who held that office and whose
death occurred recently — Charles
Evans Hughes.
Chief Justice Hughes had a re¬
markable career. In fact, he had
two careers, each lasting 43 years.
The first as a brilliant and success¬
ful lawyer in private practice and
the second as a public servant hold¬
ing among others two of the highest
positions in public life in America,
secretary of state ahd chief justice.
I happened to be present on two
occasions within a few hours of
each other which might be the high
and the low point of any man’s ca¬
reer.
With a group of reporters cov¬
ering his headquarters in New
York on election day I bid him
good-night, fully believing as he
and all of us did, that he was the
president-elect. I saw him the
next morning when he came to
the door of his hotel room with
a grandchild in his arms to take
in the morning paper which re¬
corded the late returns from
the West and gave the majority
of the electoral votes to Wood
row Wilson.
That same night Woodrow Wilson
had gone to bed accepting defeat.
The only paper supporting him
which failed to haul down the flag
(signal of Republican victory) was
the old New York Evening Post
whose special correspondent, David
Lawrence, had predicted Wilson’s
re-election and stuck to it when he
was almost alone in his belief.
How much of a disappointment
Hughes suffered it’s hard to say.
No man was ever more reluctant
about accepting the candidacy and
the fact that he received such a
proportionately large popular vote
must have been gratification enough.
He looked forward with anticipa¬
tion and pleasure to his return to
private life but his keen interest in
the law caused him to accept the
judgeship on the world court.
He made a brilliant secretary of
state under Harding and continued
under President Coolidge. His se¬
lection as chief justice of the su¬
preme court by President Hoover
was perhaps a most fortunate
thing in the light of the crisis
brought about by the famous “court
packing” fight under Roosevelt.
His success as Chief Justice
was due not only to his remark¬
able knowledge of the law but
his tremendous capacity for
work and his ability to reconcile
different points of view among
the members without attempt¬
ing to enforce his own legal
viewpoint upon the individual.
Hughes was a brilliant speaker.
He spoke naturally and easily, yet
with an excellent choice of words.
Although he was extremely digni¬
fied in appearance and manner he
was able to convey a warmth of
feeling which immediately aroused
sympathy and interest in an audi¬
ence.
Vacation Wonderland
GAITHERSBURG, MD. - Weil, 1
had a swell vacation—at least un¬
til the pigs got loose.
Before the vacation started I had
studied road maps and dreamed up
all sorts of tours. I figured on go¬
ing out to see my daughter in Cali¬
fornia, and my wife’s aunt in New
Mexico. I bothered Karl Dickel
about the best way to reach his
hideaway in Ontario, Canada, and
corresponded with Sumner Welles
about a trip up to Bar Harbor.
But in the end I decided that,
with real fireworks likely to break
out in Berlin this winter, I ought
to take a look at things beforehand,
so I got steamship reservations for
Europe and went through the red
tape of an American military gov¬
ernment permit to visit Germany,
When the sailing date rolled
around, however, I just didn’t
get on the ship. I just stayed
right at home and enjoyed the
Maryland countryside.
That’s what I did during all of
my vacation—just enjoyed my home
and let General Clay worry about
the Russians. Only time I left Mary¬
land was to take two trips into the
District of Columbia and one trip
into the neighboring state of Dele
ware.
Staying right at home proved
to be wonderful—that is, until
the pigs got loose. Here are
some of the things I did:
Filled the silo. My son-in-law,
who used to be a diligent silo-filler
when he was courting my daugh¬
ter, was absent this time; and even
my radio agent, Jackson Leighter,
never known to do a stroke of work
during the rest of the year, care¬
fully sprained his ankle just be¬
fore silo-filling time.
Went to Church. What with get¬
ting up at 6 a. m. Sundays to pre¬
pare a radio broadcast during most
of the year, I don’t get to church
as often as I should. Especially en¬
joyed the sermon of Bishop John E.
Hines of Austin, Tex., who preached
at Bethany Beach, Del.
His Delaware neighbors tell
about a car getting stuck in the
mud outside the church and
when several people brought
planks to get it out, one man
remarked: “If that board
doesn’t do it, I’ll go inside and
get the pulpit.” . . . “Shhh,”
cautioned another, “That’s the
preacher over there.” . . .'
“Yes,” was the reply, “and
I’m the bishop.”
« * •
No More Corn
Decided not to plant any more
corn. Having sat on the banks of
the Potomac and watched thous¬
ands of tons of topsoil wash down
from the cornfields of Maryland
and Virginia, I finally decided to
do my part by planting no more
corn.
Despite strip-farming and con¬
tour-plowing, both of which we prac¬
tice religiously, any cornfield, un¬
less on level ground, is bound to
wash away the most priceless gift
nature gave us—our topsoil.
So, from now on, we are fill¬
ing our silo with alfalfa. The
farms of Iowa, where the
ground is flat, can supply the
nation with corn.
Met a gradually disappearing
species—the country doctor. Young
Dr. Garrett Hume got out of the
army and decided he wanted to
help his fellow men by practicing
where doctors were scarce. He
hung out his shingle at Georgetown,
Del., and has been answering calls
on an 18-hour schedule ever since.
So, in an age when more doctors
gravitate to the city and special¬
ized medicine, here’s hats off to
the country doctors, like Garrett
Hume, who stay out where distances
are long, where fees are low and
where people need them most
» * *
Pigs Get Loose
Most of the above were enjoyed
during the first part of my vaca¬
tion—before the pigs got loose. 1
might note in passing something
obvious to most lady readers—that
this stay-at-home vacation didn’t
go down too well with Mrs. P. Aft¬
er all, when you’ve kept house,
cooked and planned meals for. a
year, it’s only natural to want to
let a hotel manager worry over
the food and the servant problem
during your husband’s vacation.
However, Mrs. P. was a good
sport, and, among other things, en¬
joyed her garden, especially one
plot of lawn she had worked hard
to keep green and on which we
sometimes played deck tennis.
This is the point where the
pigs came in. It was, of course,
my fault. I had seen them roam¬
ing around lojpe, and I had
been warned by the lady who is
much Tighter than I am that
they might descend on the lawn.
However, they were such nice
little pigs, and they so obvious¬
ly enjoyed their freedom, that I
put off catching them for a day.
That day turned the tide of my
vacation. That evening the pigs de
cided to play deck tennis. I don’t
know which of them won, but 1
know I lost. In 30 minutes that
lawn—pride of Mrs. P’s heart
looked like a plowed field.

FIRST AID to the
AILING HOUSE
by Roger C. Whitman
QUESTION; We have just emp¬
tied the last gallon from our 50
gallon range-oil drum, and the
drum seems to be full of rust. Is
there any way to clean this out be¬
fore we have it refilled?
ANSWER: I believe the lower
inside part of the drum has prob¬
ably corroded. If you do not wish
to buy a new one, you might con¬
sider having the lower part cut
out and a new piece welded on.
After opening up the drum it can
be cleaned out thouroughly before
welding on the new piece.
QUESTION: I have a pair of
wrought iron candlesticks. I have
just removed a coat of shiny black
enamel from them. Now what is
the correct, dull black paint or
finish to use on them?
ANSWER: First wipe with ben¬
zine to remove all traces of what¬
ever kind of remover you used to
take off the old finish. Be careful
of fire when using benzine. Finish
the pieces with a flat black paint
intended for metal surfaces; the
better stocked paint stores sell
this paint.
