The approach in our dealing--dealings with the Russian Government--I am being very frank with you--must be an approach that is right from our viewpoint, and we have got to stand for what we believe is right.

And another thing I want to say to you gentlemen is that the fact that we have a bipartisan foreign policy is due to the fact that Cordell Hull, way back in the early part of his administration, began calling in the members of the Foreign…

I thought the press had been extremely kind to me, and that the young men who represent you gentlemen here had done a good job of reporting.

As I have said time and again here to the young men who represent you here in the White House, that I didn't care much what was said on the editorial page if I got the facts on the front page!

The political matters have to speak for themselves in actions, and they do, I think, most of the time.

I appreciate highly, I can't tell you how much I do appreciate the fact that you have placed this matter before the country in a manner that they understood.

We must catch up morally and internationally with the machine age.

We have committed ourselves to international cooperation through the United Nations.

In the interest of world peace articles supplying a foreign military establishment cannot be left free from Government supervision so far as exports are concerned.

As a tribute to his effective work in bringing about the establishment of an international organization, he is now known as the 'Father of the United Nations.'

With a high order of statesmanship based on deep loyalty to his country, Mr. Hull served with great distinction and selfless devotion during the years of crises and difficulties.

He labored unceasingly through these years to create conditions for peace.

Weapons and implements of war are material weights in the balance of peace or war and we should not be legally bound to be indiscriminate in how they are placed in the scales.

He made diplomacy a powerful weapon in support of our armed strength.

He brought hope and courage to despairing hearts when fear was destroying the faith of the people.

It is not for me or for any of his contemporaries to attempt to measure his great stature or to estimate the impact of his words and his deeds upon the days of his years.

He died fighting for what he loved most--his country--its homes--its institutions--its people, sharing their stubborn belief in freedom under a just God in whose Almighty beneficence rests the hope of the world this day.

His home and his grave are in the Nation's keeping.
