Tribute to
a statesman
Cordell Hull, we venture to say, has a bigger and more faithful following,
than any man in American political life. The Tennessee statesman, respected
by democrats and republicans alike, has the apparently subservient role of fol
lowing up Franklin Roosevelt's speeches with his own. Tho not quite so vivid
and enthusiastic, Mr. Hull's speeches ore more and more attracting the most
serious attention; and we harbor the notion that they are among the best
strategic instruments the administration possesses.
Naturally the President's statements are important. But with the multi
tude of duties which he must carry out, he hasn't the knowledge or the equip
ment to be able to speak as authoritatively or objectively as the Secretary of
State.
Cordell Hull's work as Secretary of State these last eight years has earned
him a niche in a mythical hall of fume that will not be overlooked in future
American history writings. His clear cut presentations of the foreign situation,
based, we believe, on more facts and more information, more truth than any
other person in the nation has at hand, are a steadying influence and are
largely responsible for having kept America from really becoming hysterical.
The President's addresses created, in many eases, a great fear or a polit
ical antagonism. Mr. Koosevelt often injects irrelevant material into his
speeches, material having little direct bearing on our course, and material,
which could, more often than not, be presented with less sarcasm and belli
gerency. We, naturally, do iot criticize his outspoken and determined opinions of
the dictatorships. It is only his personal attacks upon other political figures
that we believe are a bit out of line. But then, we may be wrong. For the most
part, his speeches have been great effectors of unity among the millions of
Americans who look to their leaders for guidance. Roosevelt has more faith
and trust entrusted in him than we realize. Millions of republicans who know,
that for four years he will be the nation's leader are reposing their trust in
him, because there is nowhere else to put. He has the responsibility of seeing
that that trust is safeguarded. ,
The President's actions generally have been presidential actions, entirely
befitting the office, the person, and the duty. The irrelcvancies mentioned
above were not important enough, in the long run, to do much damage, altho
without them, we believe unity would be much closer to achievement.
But behind Roosevelt is Cordell Hull, a slight figure, whose experience
and reputation seem to us to have made him the anchor man for the adminis-'
tratien's foreign policy. Hull is a strong safeguard for those whose confidence
in Roosevelt may slip. Without Hull, we are inclined to beleve our aid-to-Brit.
in Roosevelt may slip. Without Hull, we are inclined to believe our aid-to-Brit-anchoring
the administrative team, that foreign policy will not stray from a
path that guarantees America's eventual general welfare and a way of life
which will remain intact and an example for the refit of the world to follow.
To the Editor:
The meaning of the editorial in
the recent BAUB seems to have
been misconstrued by the NE
BRASKAN. The BARB has no de
sire whatsoever to instruct the
DAILY in the management of its
problems, editorial or financial.
The BARB has no interest in the
way the NEBRASKAN supports
itself and has no desire to inter
fere with the DAILY.
W are vitally concerned, how
ever, in the financing of our paper.
The only request which the BARB
asks is that it be permitted to
solve its financial problems in its
own way. Last fall, the DAILY
strenuously opposed the BARB'S
request for advertising. Several
members in key positions on the
DAILY staff have declared thru
oral statements, that thev will on
pose, even the publication of the
BARB, hv anv means whatsoever.
May we ask, are we interfering
wiui your Dusiness or vice versa 7
In the editorial of the recent
BARB, the reason the BARB pre
fers advertising was stated. No
BARB publication in any univer
Fity charges a subscription rate.
This is another reason why we
want advertising.
The DAILY NEBRASKAN has
Stated that it gives adequate and
prompt coverage including all
Barb activities. Yet the DAILY
NEBRASKAN, In 22 issues, has
given only slightly over 42 inches
of space to Barb stories since
December 3. During this time,
four issues of the BARB have been
published, devoted to articles of
interest to the Barbs. This makes
me somewhat skeptical of the ade
quacies and promptness of the
DAILY in printing Barb news. A
concensus of Barb opinion shows
a maioritv of Barbs feel that the
DAILY does not print enough
fcarb news.
According to the editor of the
DAILY there is no discrimination
between Barb and Greek in its
news. May we ask, then, why Ray
Murrav has rcsimed his nositinn
as Barb Editor on the DAILY,
with the statement that the "con
ditions were intolerable"?
We feel that the BARB is im
portant to the unaffiliated i;tu-
cienis- or mis university, i nere
fore, we intend to go through with
our subscription drive, in spite of
any opposition.
Sincerely,
JIM YOUNG,
Business Manager c? the BARB.
ED. NOTE Mr. Murray stated
that his resignation was forced be
cause of a heavy scholastic load
and other outside activities, when
questioned this week. All Barb
news written by him that was
worthy of publication was pub-

Next, and more important, Is
the problem of preserving the
English from total defeat early
in 1941. To do that American air
planes, tanks, machine guns, naval
vessels and munitions must be in
England if and when the nazi in
vasion occurs.
The only way America can be
sure of avoiding a tangle with the
German war machine in the west
ern hemisphere is to supply the
English with enough material to
enable them to keep it imprisoned
in Europe. And just as aid to Aus
tria, Czechoslovakia, Poland. Nor
way, Denmark, Holland, Belgium
and France is now utterly Im
possible because it is too late, so
will aid to England be useless un
less it is sent soon enough and in
sufficient quantities to be decisive.
