Description | Cartoon shows President Roosevelt signing a document labeled "U.S. Neutrality." Behind him the ghostly form of President Wilson says, "I hope you have better luck than I did." The cartoonist reflects the strong anti-war fervor of the 1930's as he compares the Neutrality Act, signed by Roosevelt in 1935, with Wilson's neutrality efforts before World War I. Roosevelt actually signed the law reluctantly, fearing it would tie his hands in dealing with the fascist dictators of Europe. |
