Cordell Hull was Secretary of State from 1933-44, holding that office longer than anyone else. In November of 1933 he headed the U.S. delegation to the Pan-American Conference held in Uruguay and there laid the foundation for FDR’s highly successful “Good Neighbor Policy” with the nations of the Americas.
From 1936 to 1941, seeing danger to peace in the power of the dictators, he advocated U.S. rearmament and the implementation of a system of collective security, and supported aid to the Western democracies. Hull’s major effort during World War II was preparation of a blueprint for an international organization dedicated to the maintenance of peace and endowed with sufficient legislative, economic, and military power to achieve it. Although he resigned in late November 1944, he served as a member of and senior adviser to the American delegation to the United Nations Conference in San Francisco in 1945. Hull was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945 as "Father of the United Nations." Embracing his goal of international peace, the Cordell Hull Foundation was founded in 1951 to improve relations between the United States and other countries, primarily through educational and cultural exchanges. President Eisenhower was an admirer of Hull and on February 11, 1954, received members of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees. He also heard from Hull directly.
Typed Letter Signed on White House letterhead, Washington, February 16, 1954, to Hull, expressing his commitment to fostering the kind of good relations with Latin America to which Hull had devoted himself. “Thank you very much for sending me the volumes of your Memoirs and for your generous inscription. I am delighted to have your important and valuable work in my personal library. We in this country owe much to you for your unceasing efforts to bring about better understanding and friendly relationships between the countries of the Americas. It is my fervent hope that this Administration can make progress in that direction. I saw a picture of you in the paper the other day. You are certainly looking extremely well, much to the satisfaction of your friends. Please express to Mrs. Hull my thanks for her nice letter, and to you my gratitude and high esteem.”
