| Description | Cartoon shows an Australian soldier, confronted by a huge octopus resembling a rising sun (the Japanese ensign), peering off into the distance across the Pacific. When the Japanese conquered most of South East Asia early in 1942, the United States agreed to take responsibility for the defense of Australia. With the caption, the cartoon questions whether U.S. support will be available in time to stop the rapid Japanese advance. |
