| Description | Cartoon shows Congressman Joe Martin, Republican National Committee Chairman John D. M. Hamilton, and former Kansas Governor Alfred Landon constructing the GOP Platform, which appears sturdy except for the flimsy, buckled "Foreign Affairs" plank. A worried GOP elephant sweats in the background. By June 1940, German victories across Europe and the perilous plight of Great Britain had brought widespread concern in the United States. At the 1940 Republican presidential convention, disagreement between isolationist and internationalist delegates forced the adoption of a compromise foreign affairs plank that satisfied no one. |
