Somebody knocking?

| Description | Cartoon shows the GOP elephant (labeled "State GOP Convention") drafting a platform reading "Anti-New Deal, Old Stuff." Next to him sits the Democratic donkey (labeled "Dem. State Convention") drafting a platform reading "Pro-New Deal, Old Stuff." Both look up at the sound of a fist (labeled "What About War Crisis Problems?") knocking on the window. The cartoon was probably drawn in 1940 as the possibility of the United States being drawn into the European conflict loomed. Pease is concerned that the political parties are not facing up to the problems of impending war. |
