| Description | World War II cartoon shows Uncle Sam talking to War Food Administrator Marvin Jones, as they watch pigs, labeled "pressure groups," "selfish interests," and "profiteers," eat money from a trough. The U.S. Capitol looms in the background. Uncle Sam says that a cellar is needed rather than a ceiling. In an effort to avoid inflation, the government imposed price ceilings on many items, especially food. Berryman suggests that the need for such controls stems from the selfish activities of portions of the general public. |
