Abstract

The Fulbright Resolution
October 2, 1943 issue

add to cart   close window

Passage of the Fulbright resolution in the House of Representatives by a vote of more than twelve to one is highly encouraging as an indication that the American people have definitely turned their back on isolationism. In the years immediately preceding Pearl Harbor the House was consistently isolationist on most major issues — far more so, than the public as a whole. The House passed the Spanish embargo with but one dissenting vote. It adopted a Neutrality Act which prevented the government from promising aid to the potential victims of Axis aggression.
