| Description | World War II cartoon shows an agitated Father Time, carrying an hour glass whose sand has almost run out, accosting a Congressman who is carrying a document labeled, "Bill to Defend Democrary." In January 1941, President Roosevelt, concerned that Britain might run dangerously low on military supplies, proposed to Congress a new program to increase American aid. The cartoonist warns that action must be taken quickly. Congress passed the historic Lend Lease Act in March 1941. |
