| Description | World War II cartoon shows Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes about to pour gasoline into a large goblet held by Mars, the Roman god of war. Ickes tells John Q. Public, who holds a very small goblet, "There's not enough for both, Mister, and I guess you know who's going without." In May 1943, as a result of a severe gas shortage on the East Coast, the government banned pleasure driving, increased rationing and cut back on the mileage for trucks, buses, and taxis. Berryman was always very sympathetic with members of the public, who, he felt, were already being as supportive of the war effort as possible. |
