| Description | Cartoon shows Uncle Sam as a giant, fast asleep on the ground, a paper reading "A State of Unlimited Emergency" in his hand. A small man labeled "Public" shouts at him through a microphone. The cartoonist suggests that although President Roosevelt has proclaimed the country to be facing "an unlimited national emergency," the nation is failing to do enough to prepare itself against the threat of the Axis powers. The cartoon was drawn a few months before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, precipitating United States entry into World War II. |
