| Description | Cartoon shows Congress as an angry old man, surrounded by papers labeled, "How to Keep Out of War." Through a window can be seen an Egyptian scene in which a military figure (labeled "Capt Jimmy") sitting on top of a pyramid, tells two Egyptians and the Sphinx, "We're in the war already." In 1941, members of Congress, trying to support Great Britain's fight against Germany while keeping the United States out of the war, were outraged when it was reported that President Roosevelt's son, Captain James Roosevelt, in Cairo as a Marine Corps observer, had said that the United States "...except for sending troops, is already at war." |
