EFFORTS WILL BE PRELIMINARIES
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received February 12, 12.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, February 11. The Washington correspondent of the “New York Times” says a further statement by Mr Cordell Hull is regarded as clarifying President Roosevelt’s efforts and emphasising that they are not directed to securing an immediate cessation of hostilities. Mr Hull said the conversations with neutrals were for the purpose of determining an equitable economic basis for peace after the war ended. He added that the United States was seeking commitments from neutrals. The principles of the prograAime were sound international relations, the United States believing that such relations and the progressive curtailment of armaments were the only means of avoiding world autarchy and economic totalitarianism. The conversations would be limited to achieving agreement on these issues so as to create solidarity when the peace conference comes.
