| Description | Cartoon is a triptych showing President Roosevelt lying awake in bed, flanked on one side by Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley trying to comfort a crying baby labeled "Wheeler," and on the other by Sidney Hillman of the Office of Production Management comforting a baby labeled "Murray." In 1941, as the threat of war loomed, Roosevelt found himself increasingly frustrated by isolationists such as Senator Burton K. Wheeler who opposed his efforts to aid the Allies and labor leaders such as Philip Murray who refused to give up strikes despite the need to increase defense production. |
