Description | Cartoon shows Senator Burton K. Wheeler, wearing a large "America First" button, with his hand lying protectively on the head of a small Japanese soldier. In 1941, as Japanese aggression in China intensified, Wheeler, one of the leading Congressional isolationists and a spokesman for the America First Committee, stated publicly, "Japan is one of our best trading partners . . . and there is no reason why we should not live in peace with her." Several months later, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. |
