...days before Pearl Harbor, South Dakota's throaty, balding Republican Representative Karl E. Mundt, president of the National Forensic League, made many an oration on behalf of U.S. isolation. Once he urged that Franklin Roosevelt undertake to mediate the war in Europe; once he demanded that Franklin Roosevelt resign...
Fortnight ago Karl Mundt, re-elected last November although his isolationist record was under heavy attack, proposed, in a House resolution, that the U.S. set up a commission now to make a "realistic, bipartisan, non-political study" of postwar foreign and domestic proposals. His hope: "that America and the world can benefit from recommendations worked out in such an atmosphere of serious-minded, non-sensational deliberation...

Traveling slowly via Suez and Singapore, young Haushofer hailed the flag of the Rising Sun with "immense relief." His long journey from the Fatherland had been humiliating: at many stages of the ship's passage-Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, Aden, India, Singapore-he had seen a rocky bastion rise from the water flying the British Union Jack. A trained geographer, young Haushofer well knew of Britain's imperial lifeline. But on his trip this line took on a new and shocking...
