...citizens who have long clung to the unhistoric legend that U. S. diplomacy has been uniformly unsuccessful and U. S. foreign policy equally nonexistent, a pamphlet published this week will come as a great jolt. For it describes succinctly and with circumstantial detail how Franklin Roosevelt and Cordell Hull, in the few brief months leading up to World War II, went about their job of making decisions in U. S. foreign policy. Its name is American White Paper (Simon & Schuster; St). Its authors are Columnists Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner...
...tells how a quadrumvirate-Franklin Roosevelt, Cordell Hull, Sumner Welles, Adolf Augustus Berle Jr.-hammered out in the heat of the Munich crisis a U.

When Japanese Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita made a verbal pass at The Netherlands East Indies, it was significant that Cordell Hull gravely, politely, promptly warned Japan against intervention-warned beforehand instead of protesting afterwards, as the U. S. has often done...
...painter, Carroll. That the picture suffers from the elimination of certain scenes of the book that might remove the fireless acting is unfortunate, but the result is a drawnout tale of unhappy lives and unhappy children. It is relieved only in the warm and heart-felt showing by Henry Hull and Laraine Day as father-and-daughter friends of the family sucked into the web of filial and matrimonial complications. Continuity of effect and depth of performance are not conspicuous by their presence in the picture...
