I knew about Douglas from my reading about the Battle for Pelelieu,arguably one of the most horrible of the Pacific War. Douglas was known in the Senate as a man of impeccable honesty and integrity. We could use a few like him today. It,s not widely known that Douglas was also a Quaker.He fit Jeff Coopers definition of a pacifist as "one who would fight for his right to be peaceful". Paul Douglas,remember the name,may he rest in peace.
