EARLIER VICTORY
THAN HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN EXPECTED HOPES RAISED IN UNITED STATES. . MR HULL ON ENCOURAGING PROGRESS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.40 a.m.) WASHINGTON, May 20. The Secretary of State (Mr Cordell Hull) in a Press interview today, indicated that he saw some grounds for hope that victory might come sooner than had previously been expected. Asked whether developments in recent weeks on the home and foreign fronts encouraged belief in an earlier victory, Mr Hull pointed out that the powers and facilities of the United States were developing on a more and more massive scale, not only for defensive operations, but also for outright offensive war. It was only natural that calculations as to the duration of the war should be made in light of those f sets. Mr Hull said the immobilising of the French warships at Martinique was still going on, but the removal of their fuel had been completed.
