| Description | Cartoon shows famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, wearing an "America First" button, standing on a soapbox labeled "Fascism," looking up defensively at the enormous figure of "Democracy," pictured as a stern woman in Greek garb, carrying a sword. In the late 1930s, Lindbergh became a member of the America First Committee and a spokesman for those isolationists who advocated accommodation with Nazi Germany. The caption is a pun on the name of the famous tree-lined avenue, Unter den Linden, in Berlin. The cartoonist suggests that Lindbergh is a stooge for the Germans and no match for the forces of Democracy. |
