add to cart   close window

Secretary Hull's recent out- The article discusses U.S. politics. To understand U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull bursts of peevishness over the press, one must understand the nature of U.S. State Department press conferences, which are stiff and musty affairs. Everyone stands. There is none of the good-humored give-and-take which exists in other departments and at the U.S. White House, Washington D.C., The Secretary is not accustomed to be asked real questions, and the routine queries of department press conferences are answered in the vague phrases and ambiguous sentences of diplomatic communiqués. This language seems to come naturally to the Secretary.
