Mr. Cordell Hull Denies Press Reports Washington, Nov. 23.
The Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, today denied published reports that the United States had made representations to Britain and France opposing the possible return of African colonies to Germany.
Mr. Hull refused to comment, however, when asked whether the United States would be indifferent if an aggressive Power would make attempts to gain z military foothold on the West Coast of Africa.
Mr. Hull declined to answer this question because this section of Africa is known as the "air-bridge" to South America.—United Press.
