...biggest victory was the triumph of Secretary Hull's patient, unrelenting insistence on the rule of law and the possibility of an international order. Sometimes the speeches he has made have seemed, in view of Nazi triumphs, as old-fashioned as a torchlight parade.

This he got, in the Convention of Havana, which sets up the machinery to seize and administer any European possessions in this hemisphere which are threatened with transfer of sovereignty. But Cordell Hull also wanted Pan-American sanction in case the U. S. finds it necessary to grab a colony or so before the Convention goes into effect. He got that too, in an emergency resolution...
