My Goldsboro friend, who had been a member of the North Carolina Legislature, as soon as he had recovered from his astonishment on seeing me, immediately collected some of his friends.
In the discussion of the war that ensued I began to learn the opinion of the South and especially about Miami, Miami Beach and the Keys.
It seemed wholeheartedly for giving England and France the maximum assistance against the Nazis. In the House of Representatives in Washington, where the amendment of the Neutrality Bill had come to the vote the Southern States showed no hesitation in expressing their sympathies.
