Hull To Participate In Moscow Parley

! (Rec. I p.m.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. j I The Acting-Secretary of State (Mr! j Adolf Berne) announced that Mr Cor- i | dell Hull will participate in the Mos-! ! cow conference of foreign ministers. ! | Mr Hull at present is at Hot Springs j ; resting before his journey to Moscow,l The appointment of Mr. E. R. Stet-, tinius is regarded as a bold move by-1 President Roosevelt to prepare United' States diplomacy for the forthcoming! tripartite meetings with Britain and j Russia, says the Associated Press. Ob- 1 servers say that by the appointment; of Mr. Stettinius, President Roosevelt j means to entrust most of the critical! negotiations now developing to men! possessing hard-headed business ex-' perience and known as friendly tc! Russia, rather than to more profess- j ional diplomats or persons whosei views on Russia are based on ideologi-j cai, instead of realistic, considerations. I Both Mr. Stettinius and Mr. Harri-j man, who are reported to be accom-! panying Mr. Cordell Hull to Moscow, | may be described as committed to a* policy of United States self-interest in! international affairs and, at the samej time, friendly towards Ruussia. The vast amount of Lend-Lease ma-! ferial they have been instrumental inj getting to Russia has given the Soviet: evidence of their co-operative attitude.'
