Cordell Hull Gravely 111, Pleads Peace Father Os United Nations In Plea For World Unity

Washington. Oct. 2 — (t’PI — Cordell Hull, who Is critically 111 from a stroke suffered Monday night, rested fairly well during the better part of the night, a 9 a. m. bulletin said. "His condition la essentially unchanged," the bulletin said. The weary but courageous voice of Hull, father of the United Nations, appealed dramatically for peace and big flve unity as be lay gravely ill on hi* 75th birthday. Men the world over watched intently as the man who served as secretary of state through 12 of the moat troubled years in American history, fought for his life at the nearby Bethesda, Md„ naval hospital. His condition had taken a turn for the worse late yesterday. Shortly before suffering the stroke, the white-haired former secretary of state penned what may lie his final plea—and warning — to the statesmen of the world. Hie friends had urged him to draft the statement in connection with hia 75th birthday anniversary today. i Noting that 'dangerous' strains afe tugging at the ties that once hound the big powers together In a victorious alliance. Hull's statement said a "special responsibility" still rests on Britain. China France, Russia and the United States to lead the world to international accord. •'No matter how laborious the task,” his message said. "If the large nations can agree and act together to t|iat end. then there is hope that our military victories of a year ago will be turned into enduring peace." Then came the warning: "Incalculable disaster would result If these nations should become Irrenconcllably divided, either within or among themselves." There was a message, too. to the smaller nations—an appeal to "keep faith with those ideals of a brotherhood of peace, justice and freedom which inspirrlted our wartime unity and our wartime efforts to Insure unity among us after victory." Hull has been ill for two years. His almost complete collapse from overwork forced him to quit his work at the state department two years ago today.
