POST-WAR WORLD
-4> — - WHAT AMERICANS ARE
FIGHTING FOR
WASHINGTON, May 14,
"One of the principal things we are fighting for is the establishment of new economic relations," said Mr. Cordell Hull (U.S. Secretary of State) on the occasion of the opening of National Foreign Trade Week.
He continued: "According to the Atlantic Charter, ail raw materials in the world after the war must be accessible for victors and vanquished alike,
which involves a new basis for monetary, financial, and all other international relationships."
Mr. Hull also emphasised that, according to the agreement, lend and lease aid must be only repaid in a form which does not burden commerce.
"Americans must realise it would be impossible to indulge in narrowminded economic nationalism such as our disastrous tariff policy after the last war," he said. "Therefore they must shoulder full responsibility for building a better world everywhere."
