Kennedy had ably interpreted the failures of British foreign policy as a warning to the U.S. He wrapped up his findings in a timely book: Why England Slept (because she refused to sacrifice butter for guns, to prevent a war she never really believed would come).

Stassen, Congressman Jerry Voorhis, Senator Brien McMahon, Harold Ickes, Archibald MacLeish, and Joseph E. Davies, onetime U.S. Ambassador to the U.S.S.R.
