ABSTRACT
Cordell Hull, US Secretary of State, took part in the Moscow conference of late October 1943. The central problem was Poland, though Hull said little on this subject. These extracts are from his report to Congress on 18 November 1943.
At the end of the war, each of the United Nations and each of the nations associated with them will have the same common interest in national security, in world order under law, in peace, in the full promotion of the political, economic, and social welfare of their respective peoples – in the principles and spirit of the Atlantic Charter and the Declaration by the United Nations. The future of these indispensable common interests depends absolutely upon international cooperation. Hence, each nation’s own primary interest requires it to cooperate with the others.
