In the 1936 campaign, Pell was vice-chairman of the Democratic Nation Campaign Committee. President Roosevelt appointed him Minister to Portugal on May 27,1937, a post he served until February 1941, when he was reassigned as Minister to Hungary, a position he held until Hungary severed diplomatic relations with the United States on December 11, 1941. In 1943, Pell was appointed to the United Nations War Crimes Commission. After World War II, Pell retired to his home at Pellbridge in Hopewell Junction, New York. He later resumed his travels in Europe where he died on a trip with his grandson July 1961.
