...TIME (Nov. 13) ... I am designated as "old-line Democratic Isolationist Guy M. Gillette." In view of the fact that I have fought since my return from World War I during a period of more than 25 years for the principle of international collaboration for peace, it is unfortunate that a magazine of your standing should see fit to designate me as an isolationist.

He called his fellow Democratic Senator, Massachusetts' massive, paunchy David Ignatius Walsh, an isolationist, adding brightly: "But we have a chance to reform him." Senator Walsh, a longtime anti-New Dealer, reputedly of great influence on the Massachusetts Catholic vote, had devoted exactly two grudging sentences to the support of his party, without reference to Term IV.
