| Description | World War II cartoon shows British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, holding a paper reading "Willkie Second Front Statement," telling President Roosevelt, "We've got to do something about this sort of thing -- He's talking too much." Roosevelt, standing in front of a bookcase labeled "Collected Campaign Speeches -- 1940 -- by Wendell Willkie," responds, "If you can stop him from talking, you're a better man than I am, Winston." After Willkie lost the 1940 presidential election to Roosevelt, he continued to maintain a public posture, speaking out on many issues. In 1942, while on a trip around the world, he told reporters in Moscow that the most important step in winning the war would be the establishment of a second front in Europe -- much to the dismay of Allied leaders who felt that talk of such a front was premature. |
