...cartoons in the show were a cross section of rabid Isolationist Fitzpatrick's daily stint, from bulge-jawed Mussolinis and neurasthenic Hitlers to war-racked skeletons, the bums and shady politicians of St. Louis' own legendary Rat Alley. Fellow cartoonists took their hats off to Fitzpatrick's slick technique of getting his points over without capsizing his cartoons with explanatory captions. Fitzpatrick's muscular draftsmanship and Doré-like spaciousness (see cut) are, if not art, something close...
...Forum showed that they are strongly behind his foreign policy. Giving full or qualified approval were 71.9%, with only 17% disapproving. Verdicts on the foreign pol icy of other prominent Americans: Wendell Willkie (who has supported the President on this issue), 81.9% in favor, 11.6% opposed, rest noncommittal; Isolationist Charles Lindbergh, 31.4% in favor, 55.4% opposed; Isolationist Senator Burt Wheeler, 26.6% in favor, 55.4% opposed...

...possibly call it a damned old shovel. He is master of the sprightly truculence peculiar to journalistic generals plus a felicity of invective all his own. But Hell-Bent for War is remarkably restrained. It is the first full-length statement of his position by an isolationist who insists he is only a realist, and whose verbal hammer-throwing at the New Deal and those who believe that the U.S. should enter World War II before it is too late, daily delights or exasperates millions of readers of his syndicated column...
