I never asked you for favor in my
life and very likely never will.
AS you well know, l took no active
part in this primary campaign but
will likely be on the job during the
general election. All of your cam
paign was pure ballyhoo. Why didn't
you come out and stand on your rec
ord? You never supported the adj
ministration in any way, but as a first
class isolationist you did everything
you could to hamper the state depart
ment and our foreign policy. My per-
sonal opinion is that we should have
Joined France and England when the
Germans moved into the Rhineland
and given them our full support and
should have established g detention

time, as my personal definition of an
isolationist is exactly the same as

fort to the enemy and I think he
stands in that class.
