| Description | World War II cartoon shows President Roosevelt as a doctor, applying liniment to Uncle Sam, who wears his arm in a sling labeled "Strikes." The bottle label reads "Unlimited Emergency Liniment ... Supposed to Cure What's Ailing You." Berryman's signature small bear in the background looks into an empty "U.S. Medicine Cabinet." In May 1941, as the nation tried to bolster its national defenses in the face of the threats of the war in Europe, Roosevelt delivered a speech declaring the country to be in a state of "unlimited national emergency." He failed to follow this with any practical steps, and the war effort continued to drift, hampered in part by a number of crippling strikes. |
