Feeling ran so high that at one time two Midwestern isolationists, enraged by the pro-aid-Britain at- titude of Republican leaders, loudly; disavowed their party and as- serted they would vote for Social- ist Norman Thomas if an election were held today. 3 The two were Representatives Harold Knutson of Minnesota and William P. Lambertson of Kansas, beth violent opponents of the lend- lease bill. They erupted when Rep- resentative John Taber of New York, ranking GOP member of the Appropriations Committee, and a leading economy advocate, came out, flatly for the $7,000,000,000 &ppro- priation.
