The Establishment Of The Branch Del Hull With The United Nations

United Nations is the most comprehensive integrated intergovernmentalinternational organization in the world, and its function ofinternational collective security mechanism has affected the development and changeof human race during the past decades. But, Cordell Hull, who was recognized as the“father of the United Nations”, was little-known. He made great contribution to theestablishment of the United Nations.Cordell Hull was an important statesman and diplomat in the history of the USA,and he was also a well-known internationalist. The essences of his internationalistthought was: all countries in the world made political co-operations and economicco-operations by international organizations to maintain peace together. It spent himall of his life in making efforts for the thought and the establishment of the UnitedNations was the successful practice of this thought.In the beginning, the expression of Hull’s internationalist thought was to maintainpeace by tariff reduction and free trade. It was closed connected with the livingenvironment and period Hull lived in. Hull was born in a bankruptcy farmer familyafter the Civil War, so he understood the benefit of free trade early during his poorrural life. And what’s more, his first teacher of his early political life had the tendencyof free trade, so Hull determined the political direction of his own. That was tomaintain peace by tariff reduction and free trade. Hull made lots of efforts to get nearhis target in his political experience. Especially, during Hull’s first term of secretaryof state, American countries realized tariff reduction and free trade amongthemselves in the7th pan-American conference under the efforts of Hull. Soon after,Hull persuaded the Congress to pass Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act. This actswept obstacles which blocked the spread of Hull’s thought to the whole world.However, Hull’s thought was challenged by the broken out of the World War II,because his thought was limited to a controllable international situation.The World War II paralyzed the normal trade among countries and the policy ofthe isolationism which US government perused for many years was replaced byinternationalism after the Attack on Pearl Harbor. Facing the great changesin the domestic and international situations, Hull, who had become a veteran statesman and diplomat, changed the internationalism thought timely. Under the newinternational environment, Hull proposed to establish a new internationalorganizations unlike the League of Nations. In such an international organization,every countries cooperated economically and politically to win the war and maintainpeace among countries after war. The publication of The Atlantic Charter and UnitedNations Declaration marks the planning of this international organization.With the further development of the planning of this international organization,Hull faced the first huge obstacle in the process of the establishment of the UN. Thatis the panning of the Regionalism which consisted with the ideas from SpencerChurchill and Franklin Roosevelt. Hull had his different idea for this planning andshowed a new idea which was the so-called Globalism panning. Under theunremitting effects of Hull, the United States, British, Soviet Union and China passedUnited Nations Declaration based on the Globalism from Hull on MoscowConferences. This declared Hull’s planning won the international identity.Another obstacle that Hull faced was how to persuaded the Congress to passassociated bills, that was how to win the support from domestic people. With the richexperience as congressman, Hull resolved contradictions skillfully not onlybetween the government and the Congress but also between the Republican Partyand the Democratic Party.He put forward Nonpartisn creatively.Hull’s ideasuggested that the parties to get rid of contradictions and support the Congress ondiplomatic affairs,especially on the establishment of the United Nations. Hull alsosuggested that the parties show more power to the government and the Sate Councilto get more benefit for the United States from the new international organization.Hull made his last efforts for the establishment of the United Nations in his lastperiod of secretary of state. Under his operation, Dumbarton Oaks Conferenceachieved great success and laid the foundations for the establishment of the UnitedNations.
