Secretary Hull, in formulating American policy, has expressed the national temper most successfully. In a radio address, delivered in his name by the Undersecretary of State on Wednesday night, he explained that mere neutrality is not enough, that the United States has a duty to maintain peace, and that this duty should be fulfilled "by the use of our influence, short of becoming involved in the dispute itself."

Result: unmarketable pineapples piled up in Mr. Dole's factory, their stench polluting the Hawaiian air. Further result: pineapples dropped from...
...Hull. To the Press good Mr. Hull handed mimeographed elaborations of an earlier interview with himself reading: "Speedy restoration of more full and stable trade conditions . . . is by far the most profitable objective for our people to visualize, in contrast with such risky and temporary trade as they might maintain with belligerent nations. I repeat that our objective is to keep this country...
