Description | World War II cartoon shows President Roosevelt and other members of his administration trying in vain to awaken a slumbering old man labeled "Farm Bloc" who is dreaming of money. State Department official Joseph Grew says, "There's a war on and we're in it for keeps"; War Production Board head Donald Nelson, speaking through a megaphone, says, "We're not winning production"; Roosevelt says, "We're on the eve of inflation"; and Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey, ringing a bell, says, "Every man has got to be a soldier." Berryman comments on the success of the farming interests in 1942 in excluding many agricultural products from the constraints of price control. |
