Description | World War II cartoon shows President Roosevelt leading Secretary of State Cordell Hull and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox as they delicately tiptoe across eggs reading "Convoy Issue." Roosevelt puts a finger to his lips, saying, "Shh, boys. Don't break any." In the spring of 1941, German submarine attacks on British shipping rose to new heights. Knox and other cabinet officers urged the president to authorize American convoys to protect British ships, but Roosevelt procrastinated, fearing he would be accused of dragging the country into war. |
