| Description | World War II cartoon shows a Japanese officer (possibly General Tojo) frightened by the words on two sheets of paper. One says, "Winston Churchill says Britain stands unhesitatingly at the side of the United States against Japan." The other says, "Senator Wheeler says Churchill speech designed to frighten the United States." A portrait of Hitler on the wall is signed, "Affectionate [sic] Adolf." In August 1941 in a radio address, Churchill said Britain would stand by the U.S. in its efforts to control Japanese aggression in the Far East. The Japanese press accused Churchill of warmongering, and arch-isolationist Senator Burton K. Wheeler said Churchill's speech was designed to frighten the U.S. into war. Berryman suggests that Churchill's speech may alarm the Japanese instead. |
