Hull, Cordell (1871-1955)US Democratic politician. As F D Roosevelt's secretary of state 1933-44, he was a vigorous champion of free trade, and opposed German and Japanese aggression. He was identified with the Good Neighbor policy of nonintervention in Latin America. An advocate of collective security after World War II, he was called by Roosevelt ‘the father of the United Nations’. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1945 for his work in organizing the United Nations (UN). He was a member of Congress 1907-33. After December 1941 foreign policy was handled more directly by Roosevelt, but Hull was active in reaching agreements with Vichy France, though these were largely cancelled by the rising influence of General Charles de Gaulle.
