Hull says we won’t seek war until Hitler decrees we shall
Secretary Hull told the Senate that the United States will not enter a real war until Hitler decrees it. He urged expanding the armed ship bill to let American merchant vessels travel anywhere on the high seas and defended rights on the Atlantic amid sub marine threats. Hull cited six years of urging Germany to observe peace and noted the nation’s policy and restraint in contrast with aggression. The testimony built the case for repealing neutrality act bans on arming merchantmen and entering belligerent ports as the Senate opened debate on the measure.
