...together with Representative Joseph Martin's remarks that "America must rule the air," had created great consternation in Britain. Similarly isolationist forces abroad warned of America's intentions and bitterly attacked her policy of global supremacy as a 1943 version of "manifest destiny"; Lord Londonderry among others urged strong counter-measures.
