Peace Hope Is Held By Hull
Secretary of State Hull says a world peace agency may form before the war ends and a United Nations conference on security plans will meet this fall. Talks among Russia Britain and the United States open at Dumbarton Oaks Monday to discuss establishing a world organization by treaty or national legislation. Hull notes American public interest in a peace treaty is lacking even as diplomats push for an incremental postwar settlement. He warns the human race faces a grave crisis and urges decisive action to shape world direction for 50 years.
