Introductory note: these notes were taken mainly as research on U.S. and Japanese relations. However, given Cordell Hull's role in American governance between 1900 and 1945, culmulating in his selection as Secretary of State under Franklin Delano Roosevelt, other topics of interest to me are noted as well. These notes are by no means definitive. Since they reflect his Memoirs, they also reflect Cordell Hull's biases, memory, and desire to portray himself in a positive light.
