David O’Toole ’69, author of, Sex, Spies, and Videotape, Outing the Senator writes, “Massachusetts’ own senator from 1918 to 1946, David Ignatius Walsh, had his career destroyed by British Intelligence and Stalin’s agents in America when he opposed Lend-Lease aid for both countries. As chairman of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee in WWII, he wanted every tax dollar to go toward modernizing the U.S. military. He didn’t believe that Great Britain would use our tax dollars to rescue Europe and felt they would divert our aid to protect its colonies in Africa and the Middle East.” Using over 200 pages of FBI files, he argues in his book that the case was completely false. “In 1918, Senator Walsh organized a fund-raising event for Irish freedom held at Fenway Park and attended by 50,000 people. All the money raised went to Michael Collins in Ireland, and the Dominions Secretary for Great Britain, Winston Churchill, would never forget. Walsh was followed by British Intelligence his whole career.”
