...himself hedged not at all to win isolationist support. In Appleton, he said that any Republican who had the narrow nationalist support of the Chicago Tribune would go down to defeat. In Green Bay, he declared "I am in complete disagreement with the President's Vichy policy, his Darlan policy, and his dealings with the Fascist forces of Italy." But he forthrightly defended his own international sympathies, his early espousal of Lend-Lease ("I never will be prouder of anything in my life...
Alain Dorian, 29-year-old, polio-myelitic son of assassinated French Admiral Jean François Darlan, chatted with Mary Pickford (chairman of the women's division of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis) at Georgia's Warm Springs Foundation Hospital.

This clearing of the air was notable...
...added that real harm was being done to the world-vital friendship of the U.S. and Britain. The Daily Mail bitingly satirized the world-touring U.S. Senators who loosed a flood of U.S. pride and criticism last fortnight. A writer in the Sunday Dispatch laid the blame for the Darlan deal in Africa and the recognition of Italy as a cobelligerent at the respective doors of U.S. statesmen bent on kid-gloving Vichy and U.S. politicians rounding up Italian-American votes...
