Many voters, moved by sentiment and not too insistent upon concrete results, pour forth mush on the subject of Cordell Hull and the New Deal foreign policy. Those who see in Mr. Hull a second John Quincy Adams should recall the smashup of the London Economic Conference as well as the financial spoliation of China, which are more typical of New Deal measures than most.

While Dr. Etienne Gilson had the European's traditional and misplaced confidence in the American public, Professor Malinowski of London asserted sensibly that any such organization hopeful of success must be backed by force. Here is nothing new. There is no doubt today that a League of Nations with "horsepower" would enforce the peace its founders dreamed...
